This
is an extremely sensitive issue and despite getting on well on a day-to-day
basis, it may be that your relationship declines to the point of separation
due to sexual incompatibility.
Everyone has their own level of sex drive and it may be that your partners
greatly exceeds yours or is totally insufficient for your needs. This
can lead to extreme anguish and intolerance and in many cases can drive
separation. It is very common for couples to 'avoid' talking about such
issues for fear of 'rocking the boat'. The consequence is very often that
unexpressed feelings can lead to bitterness, resentment and a general
deterioration in communication, often ending in a complete breakdown in
the relationship. This could all be avoided.
If you have separated or are considering doing so with sexual incompatibility
being the cause, it is essential that you take some advice before committing
to a permanent separation or divorce. There is no need to end what may
be a perfectly good relationship where a solution can be found.
A counsellor will be able to help you as a couple to discuss each of your
expectations and feelings and it may be that you could also see a counsellor
individually if preferred.
