I’m honestly so tired of it... every time I hang out with my friends, the conversation somehow turns into who’s doing what with their partners, and I just sit there feeling uncomfortable and annoyed, like why is this always the topic? I don’t want to hear every detail of their sex lives, and it’s frustrating because they seem so into it that I feel like I can’t even speak up without sounding like I’m judging them. But I think I need to start setting some boundaries, like gently changing the subject or saying I’m not really into those conversations, because it’s not fair that I have to just sit there feeling drained every time we hang out.

I feel guilty admitting this, but lately I just haven’t wanted sex, and it’s been weighing on me more than I expected. It’s not that I don’t care or that something is wrong with my partner I just feel tired, disconnected, or not in the mood, and I can’t always explain why. Part of me worries I’m letting them down or that I’m somehow failing, even though I know deep down that my feelings are valid and normal. I wish I didn’t feel this pressure, because I know intimacy should come from a place of comfort, not obligation, but it’s hard to shake the guilt when it lingers for days.
