question for those in long term relationships

What exactly is the source of her stress? Is it COVID fears, working from home, financial, being overworked? You have to explain why exactly she’s stressed because certain stressors affect us in different ways.

Aside from that, are you at fulfilling her needs in bed? Have you asked her what she likes and responded in an open way? Have you directly asked her what she prefers? Are you a guy who constantly demands to know she came while you’re still in the act? Do you put pressure on her to do so? There are many reasons a woman might pull away from physical or emotional intimacy and oftentimes it’s as simple as her husband not being an attentive partner in bed (even if he thinks he is). She may shy away from emotional intimacy because she thinks it’s just another way you’ll try to get her to sleep with you.
