    Well thats good that you dont have a problem. I always find holidays or romantic breaks in hotels a sure fire way of making me relaxed enough to spark my sex drive back into life.


    Sex, like everything, is a compromise, if he wants more and you want the same/less then as long as you communicate and compromise then it shouldnt be an issue. If the communication and compromise isnt there then maybe its a positive that the issue is being brought up now rather than later when you are married and with children.

    Ah Steph, so sorry to hear your news! But you have to look after number 1! Stay safe and be happy!! Good luck. x

    ETA: I've just read your most recent post and thought how very familiar that sounds!! :(
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    Hello Steph, Just wanted to wish you well in what ever you decide to do. Only you know what is best for you – just make sure what ever you do choose it’s for the right reasons. I hope things work out for you and you’re happy! If you think it might help you could try some sort of councelling, perhaps it is your partner who needs it ultimately, but it might help both of you, or just yourself. I have been to relate in the past and they have been fantastic. Good luck honey.

    PS. There is nothing wrong with being too tired for sex... Everyone is different, so long as you don’t feel repulsed at the thought of it!

    Fly, did your Ryan try to run you over before this???? I presume not. And you shouldn't have had to do "serious butt kicking" to be with him if the issue is varying sex drives or anything for that matter. Everyone goes through different phases and if you are meant to be together it will all even out. And as others are saying, when you are really tired all the time it is tough!!

    I think Jason Manford put it best - women grow up, they go to bed and think right I have a hard day tomorrow, early start etc and men are forever boys who every night think "ey-up i am in bed with a woman, i might get lucky!"

    We've been together just over 3 years, we don't have any children. I do still want him I'd just rather have a cup of tea than have sex :o

    Steph xx

    I am the same but you know what I make myself sometimes just so OH doesn't feel rejected. :o

    We went throughj a patch after DD2 was born, I breastfed her for her first year and didn't want him touching me. We had a few rows and vowed to set a night a month where we spend it just the 2 of us, this might be having a meal, a shower together going out etc. It's hard when we work longer hours, run a house and 2 children but every minute of it is worth it because before we know it the girls will be grown up. :D

    You need to think long and hard as to what you want, from the sounds of things you have other hinderances to :(
