Martina Lorna2 months agoWe've been married for nearly 10 years and best friends for 20. Like most couples, the physical aspect of our relationship has had its ups and downs. Generally, I've been okay with it, but recently, after losing 65 pounds and feeling great about myself, my mindset has shifted. My husband has been incredibly supportive throughout my health journey and has been my biggest cheerleader. However, the one challenge we've been facing is that he's going through a phase where his libido is low, while I'm feeling more in the mood than ever. Today was wonderful—a relaxing New Year's Day, and we ended up going to bed. I was giving him a back rub, and he even helped me take off my bra. I was kissing him, trying to initiate intimacy, but as soon as I reached to continue, he shut it down. He works a physically demanding job and just wanted to sleep. So now, here I am venting on Reddit while he snores beside me, trying not to feel rejected.3532
