I completely understand where you’re coming from, and it’s a tough spot to be in. You love your partner, you’re committed to her, but this one aspect of your relationship leaves you feeling unfulfilled. The fact that you’re willing to talk about it and not resort to cheating says a lot about your character.
Have you ever considered exploring ways to meet your sexual needs that don’t rely entirely on her participation? For example, some couples use things like mutual masturbation, toys, or even watching adult content together as a way to bridge the gap when one partner has a lower sex drive. It’s not a perfect solution, but it can be a way to maintain intimacy without putting too much pressure on her.
Another option could be to suggest counseling—either individually or as a couple. Sometimes there are deeper issues that neither of you might fully understand until a professional helps unpack them. A therapist could also give you tools to navigate this without feeling like you’re walking on eggshells or suppressing your desires.
At the same time, remember to be realistic about your expectations. Relationships are never perfect, and there will always be compromises. The question is whether this particular compromise is something you can live with while still feeling happy and fulfilled. If not, it’s better to address it now than to let it fester.
