relationships

It has nothing to do with being married or single. We've been having problems longer than we've been married. We've just always assumed that things would get better. I love him way too much to give up marrying him because of sex and he feels the same way. However, I'm starting to see the signs of frustration on him more than he wants to admit. While he is still so very patient with me, I can still tell that he's disappointed that we don't have sex more often. I honestly don't blame him. I want to feel desire for him, I really do. We were friends for about a year before we started dating. When we got together, my mother was very sick and I clung to him when she passed away. He was there for me like no one else. Now, I wonder if that was the attraction.

I had several boyfriends before we got married, but I wasn't the type to sleep around. I'd had sexual relationships before, just no "flings" or one-night stands, that sort of thing. I am 24. My husband is 22. Since we lived together for so long before getting married, there really wasn't much change after the wedding. We already had a joint checking account, so there weren't new things like that to freak us out. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much to change, nor did I want it to. He is my best friend and a companion to me in every way. I just don't get aroused when he touches me.
