I feel rejected; I don't know if they even find me attractive anymore They don't even care about my needs If I didn't bring it up or initiate, I'm not sure we'd ever have sex I'm trying to be a good partner and not pressure them, but nothing is changing I feel like I either have to resign to live like this or consider leaving the relationship When your partner turns you down for sex, which of these is closest to how you usually respond inside? Resigned, but still a little hopeful. "It's okay, I'll wait until they're ready." Frustrated. I tally another "no" in my mind and feel like it's unfair. Shut down. I remind myself not to bother asking again and setting myself up for disappointment. Disappointed. But I start thinking about other things I could do that might make them more interested.

I plan a date night or get flirtatious. By letting them know how unhappy I am that this need isn't fulfilled in our relationship. I don't often. I wait for my partner to bring it up or indicate interest. By pointing out the gap. "We haven't had sex in a long time." None All of us, as humans, make theories about what is going on. Which of these have you thought to yourself? Something is wrong with my partner. They should have libido and they don't. Maybe their hormones are off or something. They don't find me attractive anymore. Maybe this means I'm not with the right person. Maybe they aren't telling me something. Something's going on with them that I don't understand.

Feeling like my efforts aren't appreciated or wanted. Nothing I do is getting us to have more sex. Feeling invisible. My desire isn't noticed. My partner doesn't even seem to know how unhappy I am.
