I'm (35f) in a happy marriage with my (37m) husband and we have two kids. Together over ten years. Non existent sex life for the last eight plus years. By that I mean, he would be ok with having sex only 1-2x per year.
We started off hot and super into it the first two years and I thought the dry spell we hit was temporary. Since then we've seen a couple of couples therapists and a sex therapist. Nothing has helped. I'm finally realizeling he's just not that into sex.
I'm not leaving him because I do love him and he's actually really wonderful. He'd likely have sex with me every night if he thought that would make me happy...but I don't want to have sex with someone unless they actually want to have sex with me. Like... Rip my clothes off, want to make me scream kind of want me. I also don't want to have an affair or open relationship.
So... Does anyone else have a way to cope with this?? Or am I just supposed to try to forget about how great sex can be and move on with my life?
tl;dr: coping with a partner who has a much lower sex drive
