answer: stress lowers libido and feelings of intimacy for most people advice: accept that this is fairly common and normal. offer to help her destress and don't be offended if she doesn't have anything for you to do. reconsider how you frame her stress as hurting you; if you're hurt by this it's the result of unrealistic expectations placed on her
I would honestly say I don’t have unrealistic expectations for her. I’m more hurt by the fact that she doesn’t explain why she pulls away, and that causes me pain, especially when it happens for months at a time. From my point of view I used to receive multiple kisses a day to now I barely receive one a week. I want to support her as best as possible but it’s been a few months and I’m struggling.
