Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice on an issue that’s been weighing heavily on me. I love my girlfriend to bits, but we’re struggling with different sex drives, and it’s starting to affect our relationship.
We’ve been together for 2.5 years, and while I (M22) would like to have sex more frequently, my girlfriend (F20) seems content with our current frequency of about once a week. I initiate most of the time, and I miss feeling desired and pursued spontaneously by her.
I’ve tried talking to her about it, and she’s understanding, but nothing has really changed. I feel like she’s less interested in sex now, and the excitement and anticipation have faded for her. I’m struggling with feeling unwanted and undesired.
It’s gotten to the point where I feel sad and stressed out when we’re together for a few days without having sex. I’ve even started to want to see her for shorter periods and spend less time together each week, which I hate because I love being with her.
I’m looking for advice on how to reignite that passion. Tips on how I can handle this situation would be greatly appreciated. I”m becoming a bit desperate,
TL;DR: I (M22) love my girlfriend (F20) but struggle with different sex drives. I initiate most of the time and miss feeling desired. It’s affecting our relationship, and I need advice, and scared of the impact this has on my relationship.
