We've only had sex a handful of times since we got married 5 months ago - the first time was a month after the wedding, once on our honeymoon, and the third time about 3 months ago. I've brought this up and each time I hear new excuses, ranging from "Yeah, but we don't get time", or "I prefer to shower before sex." There have been times when I would message him from work asking if we could have sex tonight and he's say yes only for him to completely ignore me until we fall asleep. I've asked him why he isn't interested in it anymore since we used to have sex often before we got married. He ignores so I don't broach the topic for weeks. This is affecting my self-esteem now. I feel unattractive and unloved. I want to be desired.
Ladies, what can I do without hurting my self-esteem any further? I want a strong approach where I don't make a fool of myself anymore.
Time to confront him. “What’s happening?” Ultimatums work.
Divorce is better than being miserable. 1 year of sadness is better than 40. If anyone asks and it comes to it, you can vaguely tell them “he changed in an unacceptable way”.
