My sex life

My girlfriend and i have been together for just over 7 months now, and to start with, sex was a certainty when ever we met up, even to the extent of multiple times over the course of a weekend. But ever since we've moved in together 3 months ago, we've only been having sex once a week. The frequency isnt as much of the issue, more the body language she is portraying or what i think she is portraying, turning her body face down when i rub the inside of her leg, pushing my hands away or turning over to her opposite side when i subtly brush her breasts. Its gotten to the point where i've given up trying to initiate anything anymore. I've even started to notice the fact that she sleeps with her back to me alot more, and tends to edge further away from me at night when i cuddle up to her generally to the edge of her side of the bed, i've spoken to her about the latter 2, and all i get is "sorry i dont know what i'm doing when i'm asleep". Can someone please tell me its just me being paranoid, as she constantly says she loves me and when we do have sex says she loves the feel of me.

Has she recently started on a birth control pill that coincides with this lack of interest?  She sounds like she really does love you,  but she's in complete avoidance mode,  my guess is because she now has zero libido.

Maybe you are reading too much into this. Moving in with one another is a huge step after a mere seven months of being together, so maybe these are the thoughts that she's having at this current time. However, you have to keep trusting her in anything she tells you. So if she tells you that she was honestly half asleep when these thing have been done "against" you, then take her word for it and try and move forward the best way you know how. Having intercourse even once a week is a lot to some people, so just be glad that there is still something there between the two of you... But again, if you don't trust the words that are coming out of her mouth, then I think it's safe to say that you don't trust her all together. You either trust what someone says to you or you don't and it's as simple as that - And as we ALL know, without tust there's no relationship to be enjoyed thoroughly.

I hope this helps, even if only a little bit.

For a couple that have only been together 7 months, the sex should still be plentiful! Especially if you guys just moved in together. You should still be in that "honeymoon" phase. There are usually several reasons why this occurs..

1. She's simply just too tired
2. Lowered sex drive
3. Cheating
4. Medication
5. Children
6. Lack of interest in the relationship

I don't know which of these (if any) pertain to your situation, but I hope you guys can work on it and be happy again! Good luck!
