I didn’t think the number bothered me: I didn’t know her then, it was before we got together and we can’t change the past. However, we hardly ever have sex (only once every three to four months) and her sex drive dropped off a cliff after our first child was born almost 10 years ago. She says it’s the stress of children but I can’t help feeling she just doesn’t find me attractive any more. Rightly or wrongly, I now feel upset that she was willing to have sex with so many people before me but doesn’t want to have sex with me.When a partner’s libido drops, it is very common for the other to assume that the partner no longer feels the same ...
