Short answer
Desire usually returns when pressure drops and you feel like two individuals again — not by trying harder to please him. Focus on your own energy and life, bring back playful attention, and gently find out what has been weighing on him.
Why this happens
- Routine and responsibility turned you into a team, not lovers.
- Pressure or repeated rejection made intimacy feel loaded for one of you.
- He may be stressed, anxious or unwell and withdrawing from everything, not just you.
- Unspoken resentment on either side quietly cools attraction.
What helps
- Invest in yourself — friends, interests, things that make you feel alive.
- Flirt and appreciate without expecting a result.
- Create novelty: a new place, an evening that isn’t about the house.
- Ask him, kindly, what’s on his mind lately.
- Avoid chasing; desire grows when there’s a little space to move towards.

Bring warmth and confidence, not pressure. Being content in your own life is attractive; constant checking for reassurance tends to push people away.
