    It might help OP if you give a bit more detail. When relationships are in trouble sex might not be the only thing to be suffering. e.g. affection / treats / pda's. Posters might need a bit more to help you, eg are you both under pressure in work, pulling extra shifts, is stress a factor, health, alcohol (or other substance) abuse.

    I think it is different for everyone OP.

    For some no for some yes. I am not prying of course what you share is up to you, you should only share what is benefiting you, but you might find it useful if posters had a little more detail or context.

    For some people it doesn't and some yes. I suppose you can take steps so that it does not. It might help if people knew whether this was a worry for the future or a situation you are in already?

    I think its quite easy to let the mundane domestic pressures take over: Did you pay the esb? Can we afford the esb? Shall we get a new suite or go on holiday.

    All of this stuff can suck you in if you let it - more so with kids too.

    You need to be strict about not letting it take over.

    In my opinion it shouldn't.. if anything it should get better as living together usually means a movement in the relationship and some sort of commitment.. then again I think sex is very important in a relationship so wouldn't let it suffer regardless of circumstances...

    It shouldn't. But in my last relationship it did. The pressures of being independent of parents (we had lived at home previously) and each others expectations of the state of the apartment, he wanted it less and less. Ideally it shouldn't be an issue but it can be a drain living together and it can effect you in the bedroom.
