My partner and I still have sex. But is he just doing it because of kindness?
less than two years, he seems to be losing interest
I am a 33-year-old man who has been in a relationship with a woman for the better part of two years. Although our relationship has had its ups and downs, we still have sex regularly. In the beginning, the sexual intimacy was good - and we were both initiated. But lately, I've noticed less interest from my partner, while my libido levels remain high. It seems my partner is only engaged to please me.
People sometimes go through the motions of love without really wanting to - they bypass their real feelings for some reason, like wanting to be in a relationship. If you sense this in your partner, it's time to have a gentle and innocent talk with him. Perhaps you can ask her what else you can do to make her more happy. Ask if anything like work stress or general anxiety is interfering with his sexual enjoyment. Perhaps she has a physical problem that she hasn't revealed yet.
Rediscovering your erotic connection will be possible, but only if you address it with kindness and love and take the time to learn what her current needs may be - and share your own. It's also worth checking in with him about your relationship in general: Is there something that's bothering him? Does he think that you are equal or not? Perhaps he feels angry or resentful of you for some reason (such feelings can seriously reduce desire). You can have any "why" questions with the expression: "Please help me understand" so that you don't feel judged or attacked. And listen to his answers very, very carefully.
