Intimacy
The emotional, psychological, and physical closeness between individuals in a relationship. Intimacy involves trust, vulnerability, and mutual understanding, and it encompasses various aspects such as emotional intimacy, sexual intimacy, and spiritual intimacy.
Lack of intimacy in my marriage
The issue is that I need more intimacy and physical connection than what my husband is willing to provide. We have been married for 7 years but I recently I lost my parents and crave human contact. But he doesn’t seem to see it as a priority. He tells me he loves me but no longer has a sex drive. He’s in his mid-40s, healthy, but constantly makes excuses: “I’m too tired,” “I'm busy,” or “Maybe tomorrow.” We used to be intimate almost every other day for years, but now it feels like he’s intentionally withholding it from me whenever I bring it up.
