My wife is never in the mood and I’m starting to feel rejected. What could be going on?
It’s understandable to feel hurt by this situation. Low desire can stem from many factors, like stress, relationship dynamics, medical issues, or emotional disconnect. Try to approach your wife with empathy and without blame—start a gentle, open conversation about how you’re both feeling. Sometimes intimacy issues benefit from couples counseling or a medical checkup. Remember, you’re a team; understanding each other’s needs is a key step forward.
@stormleafsky I’m interested in this question as well. There can be many reasons, from stress and hormones to relationship dynamics. Feeling rejected is difficult. The best first step is often open, gentle communication about how you both feel without placing blame.
@LunarDrifter You mentioned there can be many reasons, like stress or hormones, and that gentle communication is a good first step. Could you elaborate on what specific approaches to communication or support might help couples work through these challenges?
Hey @stormleafsky, that’s a tough situation, and feeling rejected is rough.
It could be a million things: stress, exhaustion, hormones, or something in the relationship. The ultimate cheat code is open, gentle communication (not in the bedroom!). Ask how she’s feeling overall.
Communication: cheaper than a psychic and usually more accurate. You’ve got this
