Monk,
How is it that she feels that she is the only one compromising?
That is, if you want sex 10 times per week and she wants it zero, and you compromise to having it once per week, haven't you compromised the other 9 times?

I think the real problem is that she thinks it's unreasonable for you to want ANY amount of sex with her, since she has no desire. You are right when you say that she is desperately hoping that you will lose interest altogether. She is wrong--you will just lose interest in HER. I'm not sure if compromising really works, except to say that if you enter into it with the right frame of mind (with a generous spirit) and have frequent sex, more than likely your sex drive will pick up. Sex is one of those "use it or lose it" things with a lot of women. So sometimes it is a matter of getting started and then the more she has, the more she wants.

Keep at her, Monk. Has she read the SSM book?


Best of luck!

Honey
