Is not enough sex reason enough to end an otherwise perfect relationship?

Look I don’t think not having a lot of sex is a reason to end a relationship.

But here is the catch, you have feelings that you are not having enough sex. Sex in a relationship is a big part of intimacy. Many women complain of not enough sex when they are lacking intimate desire from their partner. You want to be wanted. you want to be the most beautiful and alluring woman to him, and of course he would want to have all the sex with you. But he seems that he doesn’t.

Sex is also can be used for power and control in a relationship. The one who withholds can be doing so because they want to be the one who is chased and want the other partner to always be the one coming to them. This makes them feel more loved.

Also does this man become intimate in other areas. Does he see your heart and desire to take care of it? Is he the one asking you how you are instead of you always coming to him to tell him if something was wrong in your day?

Also, I hate to bring this up. But lack of sex with you can mean he is turning solely to output of sexual urges in other places. Porn use is a common cause today, I wouldn’t jump right to cheating. If you know he uses porn ask why he prefers porn to you. (It never is because they don’t like how you look) it is because of all of the other issues listed above.

Less sex is not a huge problem to fix if that is the only problem. Just have more sex. And a healthy relationship easily can fix that.

When these other problems are at play then lack of sex is much harder to fix.
