I have been with my boyfriend for 4 months and everything is going great. We’re both nearing 40 and have the same idea for what we want for our futures. I have children from a previous relationship and he has a teenager from a casual encounter but he is very much involved in her life. He has never introduced anyone to her (and I have only introduced one long term partner to mine) but recently he asked if we could introduce our children and it all went well. He is very loving and consistent with me, and will also touch, hug and kiss me lots. The first 3 months of the relationship the sex was as expected however it had dwindled. I asked if there were any issues and he said he was feeling self conscious and it has impacted his libido but assured me it wasn’t anything to do with me. I have my own insecurities and I can’t help but think he isn’t attracted to me. I told him there is no pressure from me but it is eating away at me a little.
Can you give me any insights into how I can help with this? Or why he could be feeling this way?
If it wasn’t for the fact that he is so loving and makes plans for our future, I would be certain it’s because he doesn’t want to be with me.
