I'm sorry you are in this situation. What does your boyfriend say other than he is having stress? Does he say what the stressors are? Does he say anything else?

It sounds like this is not a sex problem, it sounds like a relationship problem. Do you talk? I mean, do you both communicate? Do you listen for his answers, or do you jump right in because you are upset? Something is clearly going on with him and your relationship, because it sounds as if he is withdrawing on every level. Have you asked him if he is unhappy or what is happening with him other than the sex part of it?

My advice is to sit down and have some serious conversation about what is going on in your relationship, because it sounds like neither of you are happy right now. Maybe it is something that you can talk through, but if it isn't, you probably want to know that, too. We have a lot of discussion here on the site about this sort of thing: https://www.empowher.com/condition/sexual-well-being. Reading the other discussions will help you as well.

Please keep us posted and if we can help you through this, we're happy to do so.
