Husband won’t have sex with me

For those who have not been able to have sex due to stress or have had a partner who couldn’t have sex due to stress, what was the longest you went without sex?

My husband has been stressed with work and has turned me down for sex for almost 5 weeks. He won’t initiate and when I try to he says no or says he’s already jerked off that day and isn’t in the mood.

I respect him putting his mental health first and would never force him to have sex or make him feel guilty. It just seems like 5 weeks is a really long time to let stress at work affect your sex life and marriage.

I’ve tried lingerie, dressing sexy, making his favourite dinners, making him a drink at the end of the day, massages. Nothing.

What’s the longest you have gone without sex in a committed relationship? (Besides pregnancy or health issues)
