Be patient and understanding with your partner from "summary" of The Sex-Starved Marriage by Michele Weiner Davis

It's not easy being in a relationship where you feel sexually frustrated. You may find yourself feeling angry, hurt, or resentful toward your partner. It's important to remember that your partner is not purposely trying to hurt you. They may be dealing with their own issues that are impacting their desire for intimacy. By being patient and understanding with your partner, you can create a safe space for them to open up about what's been going on. Listen to your partner without judgment. Try to understand their perspective and show empathy toward their feelings. This can help build trust and strengthen your emotional connection. Remember, communication is key in any relationship. By being patient and understanding, you can encourage your partner to feel comfortable discussing their feelings and concerns with you. It's also important to take into consideration that your partner's lack of desire may be due to a variety of factors. Stress, anxiety, health issues, or past trauma are just a few examples of what could be affecting their libido. By being patient and understanding, you can work together to address these underlying issues and find ways to improve your intimacy. In addition, it's essential to be patient with yourself. It's normal to feel frustrated or discouraged when your sexual needs are not being met. However, by practicing self-care and seeking support from a therapist or counselor, you can better navigate the challenges within your relationship. Remember, healing takes time, and it's important to be patient with both yourself and your partner as you work through these issues together.
