Sex starved

I feel so sex starved. I wish my husband could understand how important sex is to me and for our relationship.

It's so hard to feel like the one thing I can only share with him is something my husband has little to no interest in. In marriage sex is supposed to be beautiful and intimate and bring closeness. Instead I'm sex starved....instead I feel like there is no compromise on how much we make love. When you feel lucky if you have sex once a month when you'd really like it at least 3 times a week is taking a toll. I feel like because we are struggling in the bedroom is is causing issues elsewhere.

Maybe it's pride, but I'd prefer not to to to a cousoler. I just feel like we should be able to figure this out on our own.

I know his work is stressful. I know he is looking for a new job. I know maybe it's life getting to him that makes him refuse sex and decline my intimate leads. It's just hard to hear no so much...I almost hate to ask to be intimate anymore out of my feelings being hurt from being told no to many times.

What would you do? Have you and your significant other had issues with differances in sexual wants and desires?
