I'm sorry to read this... very sad for such a young couple.

Generally when women go off sex it's because they don't feel connected emotionally to their man. I know it probably sounds daft to you but that's how (most) women work. I would suggest there IS something she is feeling resentful/hurt/angry about. You may feel you are being the best husband in the world but if you aren't meeting her needs......you aren't meeting her needs!!

You also need to make YOUR needs clear to her...she needs to be aware of how rejected and unloved you feel. Your expectations are not unrealistic or unreasonable. Fight for your rights.... otherwise this will get worse...just read the posts around here from people living in loveless marriages for 20+ years...

You don't want to be one of those poor people do you??

Open communication is the key....
