Catch 22 - it is impossible (for me) to be emotionally present after a month without sex, and because she is not emotionally supported sex doesn't happen. And so the vicious cycle with continue for months
Of course it is possible because your emotions are all controllable, but that is not enough. The pathway for you is laid out in both of the courses, for men, and women. Your name suggests you are a woman, too, and the context suggest she identifies as a woman, so use the course for men. themarriagefoundation.org/
My husband and have been under significant financial stress since the start of the pandemic. We are from a developing country, I mention this because you should understand we can assume less financially in our country, so the stress is tremendous. My husband is also 13 years older than me. He has lost all interest in sex and I need sex to release tension. Although I understand that his is a stress response and is not meant to hurt, I feel rejected, and frustrated beyond belief.
Currently working on our marriage of 20 years, I’ve always been very sexual and always enjoyed it. There’s been so much emotional disconnect from my husband and I’ve listened to your videos and am working to reconnect emotionally. That being said, I don’t feel the need to get sexual with him anymore, it feels like I’m pretending and I’ve done that for so long. He’s of course slightly offended that not I’m not interested like I used to be. I have a feeling it has everything to do with emotional connection, I don’t know. I love him and care for him but I’m struggling with being attracted to him.
I do NOT promote emotional connection, which is shallow and unfulfilling as very important. I promote SOUL connection which requires you learning to open your heart. You must use the SEW technique in the course for women or you will remain in the twilight zone of marriage.
Porn is ruining our marriage. he thinks I don't know or hear. But he's the one who doesn't hear me coming in the house w friends as he's getting busy on the couch. I let him know She's not real, and if she was. wouldn't date him. She doesn't love him and it is a form of cheating. He's convinced he's done with that. but still now wants sex not lovemaking. Porn style sex is not lovemaking.

I like how you complain about one thing then tell me why it’s your own fault in the same fn paragraph without even realizing it. Do you have any self awareness?
My partner is currently going through perimenopause and as a result, her libido has dropped. She will be seeking advice from a doctor this week. I completely agree with your advice. Great video
Why do you think that is true?? It is the norm only when the marriage is not firing on all cylinders or when the choice is made by both partners for positive reasons.
@@TheMarriageFoundation I say that based on my own experience. it is a long story. We have been married less than 3 years. We do not live together. So the chances for sex are slim to none. I have simply accepted the fact that sex can no longer be part of my life.

Sexless marriage is probably the norm so you just need to accept it as normal and not worry about it. There is no other option.
Why do you think that is true?? It is the norm only when the marriage is not firing on all cylinders or when the choice is made by both partners for positive reasons.
