A thirtysomething woman reflects on her six-year marriage, where she feels a disconnect due to her partner’s low sex drive compared to her own high libido. Despite their bond as best friends, the imbalance has left their sex life stagnant. After developing an infatuation at work, she recognizes the importance of desire in her relationship. Seeking a solution, she is advised to communicate her feelings openly and encourage her partner to pursue therapy for past traumas, emphasizing their mutual love and commitment while navigating this sensitive topic.
Mismatched levels of desire commonly occur in relationships, but when only one partner is willing to take steps to create more sexual parity, nothing is likely to change.
You will have to talk seriously to her in a non-blaming, non-confrontational manner and be frank about your feelings.
Ask her to seek some help and let her know you are willing to support her journey, whether it is an individual struggle or a couples issue that needs to be addressed.
Start off by doing your best to reassure her about your love for her and your desire to stay married.
