Hi
A sudden decline in your husband’s sex drive after marriage, despite having a high libido before, can be due to multiple psychological, emotional, or physical factors. Since he avoids giving a clear answer and blames tiredness, it suggests that he may not fully understand the reason himself or may feel uncomfortable discussing it.
Common causes of reduced libido in men include stress, work pressure, hormonal imbalances (low
testosterone), depression, anxiety, performance pressure, unresolved emotional issues, or even porn-induced desensitization. It’s also possible that relationship dynamics have shifted post-marriage, and emotional distance or routine stress is affecting his desire.
To address this, create a safe space for open, non-judgmental communication. Instead of focusing on his lack of interest, express your emotional needs and desire for intimacy in a way that encourages him to share his feelings. Avoid pressuring him or making it feel like a problem to solve immediately. Also, observe if he shows affection in other ways (cuddling, spending time, compliments) or if intimacy has decreased entirely. If this persists, a medical check-up (to rule out hormonal issues) and couples therapy can help uncover deeper emotional or psychological factors.
If he is open to it, therapy can help address any underlying stress, emotional blocks, or performance anxiety affecting his libido.
