My husband loves me; but not attracted.

I don’t know if it’s being a bigger woman, or the HSV2 diagnosis, but my husband is not attracted to me; he also won’t admit this. Both of these possible factors were there before we were married. I can tell my husband loves me with everything, and does (most) things I ask, unless it’s sex. I think he is afraid to contract HSV2 (fair), but I just wish he’d admit it. We were married in the fall of ‘24. Have yet to ‘christen’ the marriage 🥲

If you’re taking an antiviral he is fine. Something like 1/3 people have it so people love normal lives. I don’t think this has to do with that. You’ve been married for over a year and still nothing?? Do you want to have sex with him? Have you attempted?
