I feel your frustration. It’s tough when the physical side of the relationship takes such a sudden hit, especially after being so active before. It can make you feel like something’s wrong with you or with the relationship, but honestly, this happens more often than people realize. Life changes like a new job can completely throw off a person’s energy and mental space.
Your wife might still want to connect with you, but if she’s drained from the 9-5 grind, her ability to follow through might just not be there right now. The teasing texts are probably her way of trying to keep that spark alive, even if she’s too tired to act on it. It’s a confusing message for sure, but it might just be her way of saying, “I still want you, but I’m struggling to make it happen right now.”
Have you talked to her about how you’re feeling? Not just about missing the sex, but about how the lack of intimacy is affecting you emotionally? Sometimes, couples fall into a cycle of unmet expectations and frustration without realizing they’re not actually communicating. A calm, honest conversation about what’s going on with both of you could open the door to understanding why things have shifted.
In the meantime, try to focus on non-sexual ways to reconnect. Go out together, do something fun, or even just hang out without any pressure for intimacy. Sometimes, the key is to rebuild emotional closeness first. When she feels that connection, the physical side might naturally follow. Patience is hard in moments like this, but it can make all the difference.
