Wait... really?

Well I'm ****ed. My sex drive took a nosedive lately. I guess I have cancer.

Wow it is amazing how quickly people go from he only wants sex 1 time a week to he is cheating.

Relationships naturally have ups and downs in sex lives, there are plenty of reasons such as stress, tired or hearing nagging, feel like they are being controlled and are not allowed to be the man in the house, they also could just be tired of having sex with the same person all the time.

Like it or not there are times I get bored having sex with my wife, we have been together over 15 years, and for the 1st few years we had sex 1 or 2 times a day, over the years it has dwindled to once or twice a week, and I am fine with that. Much less boredom, and we are having sex because we want too, not out of habit or because it is expected. It is not that I am unhappy, or that she is unhappy and neither of us are cheating to my knowledge.

sometimes it happens, especially when life gets in the way, or the spouse has a bad attitude throughout the rest of their lives together.

Too be honest there is nothing you can do. He has to want it and if he wants it he will come to you.

Nagging is off putting. ***** at me long enough you can go copulate yourself.

only 10 days ago I posted this. Surprised to still see it on page one. They are on the verge of a break up. It seems any pretty woman will do to replace my friend's companionship. She doesn't think he's cheating on her. She can be clueless about men but in this case I agree, there is not cheating going on (but he will if given the opportunity.) She thinks it was the nagging and combination of the fact that for whatever reason, he is fine with little sex. He just likes to be around a pretty woman , even if it's platonic. Still she nagged because she said he was treating her bad. Now he's treating her worse, cancelling plans to be around this pretty woman (they are platonic friends who go back a few years.) Not looking good which I conclude means for whatever the reason, if sex diminishes like this, there are underlying problems which aren't always about cheating. (though he would if he had the opportunity I'm sure.) Doesn't matter what the underlying problem (unless it's medical and he can't get it up), diminished sex is a very bad sign.

Honestly, it just sounds like over time her nagging has made her very unappealing to him.

If she won't adjust her attitude and activities she'll suffer the consequence of not having him in her life.
