i have experienced it , but i think most ppl do. i do find your lack of intimacy and the length of it , to me would be very off putting.
yes it feels like constant rejection . you feel unwanted and lonely. if i had your constant lack of intimacy, i would probably say, it tiring.
i can say that with my hubby i suppose the most of lack of intimacy i have ever had is a couple of months. for different reasons. like you i would bend over backwards. but my hubby keeps or should i say used to keep alot to himself, for his own reasons, it was just him, his personality and character. the situations either involved stress, probs in the relationship at that time. generally off eachother. there are plenty of reason. these are cicumstances of life.
tiredness will also be huge in this detriment for lack of intimacy.
actually my hubby would do a full days manual work and say i had the day of, i up for it. but hubby was just too tired. literally to do n e thing. i just had to be patient .
but to not show n e thing. like i said is hard.
you situation is hard , opposite sides of the week. but why dont u both make a point of atleast once a month going out.
or can u change your shifts atleast once or twice in a month.
you sound very much apart in this situation of just not being around eachother enough. but his tireless shifts would kill me .
i do 10 hrs 3 days a week. thats enough. i dont do overtime. because the money is rubbish. i live on what i have.
maybe have another chat. you need to spend some quality time together.
but your the only ones that can change that.
sometimes when you make a change other avenues open up.
