My husband and I have been married for three years. We have not had sex within our marriage. I am angry. I beg for him to love me but he won&#8217;t. He will find time to do everything under the sun but to make time for us in that way. Also, every single weekend we are at his family&#8217;s house and it drives me nuts. I have no family or close friends because I moved out of state to be with him. I have tried everything, such as talking to him about what bothers me, which only leads us to argue. I am completely fed up and about to call it quits. Please say a prayer for me. I really love my husband, but I am not sure he even loves me in that way anymore.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Answer:<\/h2>\n<p>For a man to not be interested in sex would lead to the conclusion that something is wrong with him physically or that he is finding another way of relieving the build-up of semen that every man experiences. But what is missing from your note is any of his explanations. I&#8217;m left to conclude that since you say you discuss these matters and end up arguing with him that you don&#8217;t accept whatever reason he is offering. That would typically mean that you aren&#8217;t really listening to what he is saying.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, I haven&#8217;t a clue as to what is going on and cannot, therefore, offer advice that might lead to a solution.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: I need some advice.
