So many of you on this thread are having such an awful time, but so glad you're getting support and advice.

I feel so silly writing this one but I'm considering leaving a good man just because I have no sex drive any more. We have been together fifteen years,since teenagers, and have two young kids - 2 & 4. I don't want to have sex very often. He wants it. He never forces me - but there's just this sad, angry air in our house all the time because he feels rejected by me and angry I don't want him. I don't know how to change how I feel. I don't know how to change how he feels. I keep thinking the only solution is to walk away from him so he can find someone who matches his desire. But that would really cause problems for our children. Help!
Do you mind me asking how old you are?

how long has it been??
 
We are both 35

About 2 years - since the youngest was born!
have you been to your GP about it? it could be a hormonal issue, it's quite common post partum. i had my first baby 2 years ago and due to trauma from the labour we didn't have sex for like a year afterwards, then it was sporadic every few months until we decided to try for another baby in april. lo and behold i started enjoying it again and i think it was because i'd come off contraceptives and for the first time since the conception of our 2 year old my hormones were "normal". of course then we conceived in the first month and i'm now so sick in my first trimester we're back to not doing it at all. it's just a season, we'll get back to it. my point is, there may be an actual medical reason that's worth looking into if you want to.
