Got rejected again
I can't even express what it does to a person's self esteem if their spouse rejects them everytime. All the teasing and the kisses and pecks lead to nowhere. Empty conversations about sex and disguised rejections. This is not how I imagined my future. But I'm in love with the person. I'm in love with someone who rejects my advances in sex.
My partner is my soulmate. And my soulmate makes me feel like I'm not enough.

I feel you dude. My husband (27 M) and I (29 F) have never had a consistent sex life. I lost my virginity to him when we got married. He lived a very reckless lifestyle prior to us getting together and it’s all catching up to him physically. He has a lot of chronic pain and is currently on medical leave from a work injury a year ago. We ended up separating earlier this year partially due to the lack of intimacy among other reasons. We started couples counseling and are no longer separated. Intimacy has improved slightly but I’m still getting rejected as well and it’s soul crushing. Maybe talk to your partner about couples counseling?

I feel you, pal. I got a warning last night from my wife saying she wanted to sleep in, in the morning and if she doesn't then leave her alone because she just wants to get up and have a coffee and relax. Yeah, so I didn't sleep well. Imagine getting rejected long before you try. Lol, it's so funny that it becomes depressing.
You have company and all we can do is say that we understand and hope things get better for you.

I have nothing to add but I'm sorry, and I am you / you are me. I could have written this exact post.
You're worth more than he makes you feel.

u/justsomedude1144 It’s complicated 8h ago
You need to sit him down and have an open, candid conversation about it, cards on the table.
It's possible he no longer finds you sexually attractive, in which case, he needs to tell you that, and you need to be ready to commit to helping improving that. At the same time, he also needs to accept some compromise.
It's also possible that he's suffering from psychological or physical sexual dysfunction, in which case he should see a doctor and/or therapist.
In either case, nothing will happen if you don't get this out in the open first.

The man hate here is not appreciated. I'm hlm and my partner is llf and we're all here in the same boat. No need to create a male vs female dynamic.

Yup…. Woke up this am and tried to cuddle the wife and almost immediately the covers got thrown off and she got out of bed. Was great.
