Nah, it makes sense in the context of this sub.

You love this person. You are committed to them. Part of your expression of that love is sex. Your partner does not express love in that form but does in others, it's confusing to you because for you it's all the same and missing one doesn't make any sense. You want to understand why.

So you talk. Your partner says they're sorry, that they understand. Then things get better for a week or a month and you're so happy that your partner understands you and is giving you want you need to feel loved in a relationship.

Then it gets a little less frequent again, and you're worried but you don't say anything because you don't want to put pressure on them and they might have some extra stress going on making it a temporary situation. Your partner loves you and they told you they understand it's important. It'll get better.

It gets less frequent again. You start feeling the negative mental health effects of feeling unrequited (to you) love and rejection. You think that maybe you can just touch base and remind them that it's been awhile. You do, they say they understand and have sex with you soon after.

This time lasts even less than the first time you talked. You might have sex a few times the first week or two, but within a month you're unhappy with the frequency again. You figure you might just need to remind them again. This time they have reasons. They don't really make sense to you - what do dirty dishes have to do with sex? - but you have been given a list of things and are told that if these are fixed, the sex will be too.

You fix them. The sex doesn't come back. You ask why. You're given more reasons. You point out you're already doing and not doing all the things they complained about last time, why didn't they mention any of this back then? They might give a reason or they might just get mad or cry.

And so on, and so on. Everyone here knows the cycle. The real issue almost always seems to be medical (I'm including issues that would be resolved by therapy here), attraction-based, or your dynamic within the relationship. Most issues with the dynamic of a relationship can be boiled down to communication - intentional communication and effort from both parties is the foundation of a relationship thats going to last and remain healthy and a lot of people are really bad at it.
