There are a few issues that may be causing your husband to have a low sex drive - especially if he used to have a higher one in the past. Depending on his age, he may have a below normal testosterone level that is affecting his libido. However, my best guess is that he is overly stressed with work and working too many hours (based on your comments). Does he talk to you about work? If you haven't in the past, this may be a good time to start. Maybe if there is something bothering him at work then perhaps he will open up to you and then he'll feel better about himself to want more sex again.

But remember that each person is different, and in my case I would probably want more sex if I was stressed out about something in life. This again would bring me back to idea that he may simply have a below normal testosterone level that can be easily treated. Anyways, just a thought.
