I'm 27 year old and have been married for 8 years. And my husband has never wanted to have sex with me. We were both virgins when we got married, and maybe have sex twice a month. This has been a problem ever since we got home from our honeymoon. He has never initiated sex and doesn't really seem to care. We have a good relationship, he is kind, loving and sensitive and is wonderful in every other way. But has no interest in making love. I am young, attractive, I work out, dress nice, and do my hair and make up every day. I take care of our children, keep the house clean and cook all the meals. I have read many books and have talked to him about this many many times. He says he loves me, but he's lazy and sex is just too much work. I don't know what to do. Our marriage is more like a friendship and i want more. I want passion and a man who thinks i'm sexy. We haven't even kissed in two weeks. I feel ugly, fat and disgusting and i don't want to feel that way anymore. What should i do?
