Well GEL,
Our finances are kinda shaky right now, which could play a role. I started a new job which of course lapses a paycheck but that don't seem to play a part being that whether finances are good or bad, it stays the same.

There are no apparant physical difficulties, we both consider ourselves fairly confident and attractive (undressing around each other, using restroom with no need for privacy , etc.)

I am 27, she is 32 if that even is a factor.

You are right, I am SEVERELY missing intimacy and I have actually sought it elsewhere a few times , without her knowledge.

The intimacy we do share outside the bedroom seems to be WAY to proper. Pecks instead of kisses, moving my hand away, the "I'm too busy" to even hug sometimes, etc. It was great the first 2 or 3 monthes of our marriage then it just seemed to fade.

I don't do as much as I used to as I did in the beginning of our marriage/relationship but when i attempt to work on these things, I get NO recognition or nothing seems to change on her end.

I've bought flowers, wrote letters, even showed the scriptures that she follows, of how depriving a husband sexually, only opens the door to temptation wide open, etc.

I'm so frustrated and hurt, it's sick.
