How often are you having sex? I’m in a relatively new relationship, and feel a subtle pressure to have sex every day (if not more — often morning and night.) I generally enjoy it, but it *is* time consuming, and I can’t help but feel stressed by it at times. Any tips for managing misbalanced libido? (Another factor: my partner is underemployed, while I’m working FT.)

Prior to the crisis basically ever day we saw each other (eg Thurs-Sunday typically but sometimes the whole week if he didn’t travel).

But for advice, discuss it openly with your partner. Unfortunately, very very mismatched libidos May mean you’re not compatible. It’s a big factor in lifelong compatibility

What is the norm for you? I’ve fluctuated and found that it depends on my partner. Some people are more enjoyable and oftentimes it decreases with time.

Share your thoughts with him.

Looking for some advice on how to handle this situation… My boyfriend of 10+ months is divorced (6 years total) with 3 kids. He has a very amicable relationship with his ex. Two of his 3 kids have birthdays 5 days apart coming up next month. In lieu of a party, they asked for a weekend at a hotel/indoor water park. They have done this in the past. However, he asked how I felt about him sharing a room with his ex and kids, with separate beds. Continued…

I'm 23 soon going on 24 and I haven't dated. Ever. I haven't received proposals as well (of dating or going out). I have been working work from home since my professional life started.

I have so many hobbies and a personal urge of having "me time" that I am not bothered much. Do you guys think I may lack something which is not attracting people? Or should I let fate play game?
