This hub is for the most common quiet conflict in relationships: mismatch. Too much. Too little. Changing seasons. Changing bodies. Stress. A lot of people treat libido like a character flaw instead of a variable.
This section gives you language that keeps the conversation honest without turning it cruel.
If you’re here because: You want more sex than your partner, or less, and you feel guilty. Your sex drive changed and you are worried. You want sex but your body does not cooperate. Or you do not want to treat your partner like a problem.
