I tend to overwork myself and it’s really taking a toll on my mental well-being. I want to learn a lot and prove myself to my superiors so that they recognize me/see value. Now my work has a sense of dread to it. I watched my parents be workaholics growing up, so it’s all I know. I’m also goal-oriented and driven, so achieving a lot scratches that itch for me. But, it’s making me want to quit cause I’m burned out and depressed….im not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Yikes Ella lol

Once a week is fine for some people.
Sounds like you’ve got some communicating to do… What other couples do is irrelevant, what’s relevant is you’re not happy with the frequency.
4 months in a relationship. Have it almost every time we are together, several times we had 4x in 24hrs (2x in the night and 2x next morning)
Aka honeymoon period
This is a very common problem, and it is usually not an exhaustion problem, it is an emotional problem. Something is lacking in the relationship which is causing this. It could be she doesn’t feel love in the relationship, or doesn’t feel like burdens are equally shared, or doesn’t feel respected. Solve the emotional problem, and the rest will solve. Don’t wait too long. It will get cemented
Pro
Been married for a while. Average once a month; I want more; communications have failed; she is always tired and thinking about kids. Says a lot of women go thru this challenge 🤷
This is pretty much me and I have to beg for it but it’s OK because my wife is really hot and I’m just average so I’ll take it.
Married for five years, no sex for four years.
@M2 I see Reddit said open marriage is just a fast track towards divorce. So just don’t want to bother.
I am a new immigrant, have no family here, and feel scared about staying in the US just by myself.
I can relocate back and still enjoy global pay in an international law firm. But I think it’s not worth it.
Rising Star
Just had a baby - once a week now that we have the green light to go again. Hopefully more in the future. Hubby sort of lost interest in me when I was Prego and I get it - I was huge and had a bowling ball in the way. Hoping his interest comes back to pre baby levels in the near future.
7 years in a relationship. 1-2x a week
8 years and over the last 2-3 years it varies. We could go like 3 months no sex or then have sex a few times a week. But I have been on birth control for the entirety of the relationship, and it really decreased my libido. So I have recently came off it and already see a difference But now it’s like I’m afraid to get pregnant, we still sometimes forget to use a condom after almost 10 years of not using them, so every time we have sex I take a pregnancy test and that makes me not want to have sex 🤣 lol so we are at a learning curve right now
Reading these comments is sad and makes me want to play the field, forever!? 🤦♂️
Seriously, wtf
At home not very often. Outside maybe twice a year
Married 3 years, sex ~2-3x a week
Pro
1x a week when she’s on her period (usually towards the end when its lighter)
3-4 times a week otherwise.
We’ve been together for almost 6 years
Well aren’t you special
Been together for 5 years.. nowadays we have sex 2-3 times a week and I’m gonna eyeball that I give him head at least 1 a week ??
Together 6 years, married for half. It varies, sometimes 3x a week for a few weeks, then sometimes nothing for 2-3 weeks. Typically linked to how we’re feeling health wise. But after 2 weeks of no sex it starts taking a toll on our relationship.
Supplement with "self-care"
When I was younger (think college) and with someone it was 4-6 times a day. More recently 1-2 times a day when with someone, although I've been single for awhile now so 0. 🤷♂️
