I(F25) have been with my partner (M27) for some time now. They say that it’s typical for long-term relationships to have up-and-downs when it comes to intimacy. But lately, I haven’t felt up to it due to stress from work and everyday life. So I often reject his advances and I feel like after time, it weakens our connection. I’ve discussed this issue with multiple women in my life and they’ve all basically given me the same response: when you’re married, you have to put out because men have their needs. Does consent go away once you’re committed? Are we just expected to lay there until their needs are fulfilled?
