Long story short... 34 year old attractive female, divorced with kids got into an amazing relationship with an incredibly attractive 37 year old man over 2 years ago. Amazing sparks in EVERY area and life was great....no, no...PERFECT. We are now moved in together and have obviously involved both of our children...all in all we are happy. And now...the sex has more or less stopped. I have tried everything. He says it would be nice if he could ask for it instead of me constantly looking for it...so I went 3 weeks with NOTHING. When asked he says he's stressed...money wise we're not doing great...neither is the rest of the country... I told him its a stress reliever for me...and he says its not like that for everyone...he says its not me...But wishes I wasnt so pushy. I'm lost. He's home every night with me. I dont believe he's doing anything he's shouldn't be. He likes to cuddle and hold hands...but...thats it. I can't imagine ending this over sex...but I cant imagine continuing like this forever. I know Im very sexual and probably are looking for it way more then most...but even every 2-3 days would be good at this point. What do I do???

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (9 September 2009):

This is getting to be a very common problem, try searching for stress leading to lack of sex and you'll get to read lots of answers.

When men get stressed or depressed their sex drive is the first thing to go.

If you can remove some of his stress by getting a second job or helping him look for a better job then that might help.

Your sex life is just another victim of the economy. Find an investment banker and punch him when you get frustrated, and in the mean time, buy yourself a toy to take the edge off.

Good Luck!! xx
