Boyfriend doesn’t prioritize intimacy.
For context, my (25M) boyfriend and I (25F) aren’t intimate more than once a month. We’ve been together well over a year and it’s beginning to take a toll on my self esteem. I’ve brought it to his attention before that I don’t want us to have a “dead bedroom”, and in response he’s told me that we’re not high schoolers anymore and it’s not a big deal. I try to give him hints and outright tell him I’m in the mood, but he’ll completely ignore me. And yes, I’m the only one that makes a move, so I’m very frustrated. Sometimes I admittedly get an attitude about it and he’ll ask what’s wrong, but I feel it’s no use anymore to try and ask or repeatedly talk about the same issues with no resolve. My libido is pretty high so I have no issue taking care of myself, but I need that intimacy with him. It’s a priority for me. But I love my boyfriend and want a future with him. Also, I know he takes certain medications which I’m sure have side effects that take a toll on his own libido. I’m just frustrated and not sure what to do at this point. As upsetting as it is, I’m about to stop trying.
