Short answer
It’s more common than people admit — many couples go months or years without intimacy. Common doesn’t always mean healthy, though. If either partner feels lonely or rejected, it’s a pattern worth understanding and changing.
Why this happens
- Stress, children and health changes.
- Pressure cycles around desire differences.
- Unresolved resentment.
- Comfort and routine replacing desire.
What helps
- Talk about it without blame.
- Start with non-sexual affection.
- Identify which pattern you’re in.
- Get support if conversations keep failing.
