My beloved girlfriend

[Indecisivecasv]

My girlfriend and I are 6 years apart. Me being 25 and her being 19. I love her tremendously. During good times, we go great and we share happy moments. However, when the relationship first started out, I've always been the sort who incorporates sexual innuendos and I tend to make things sexual once in awhile. She used to reciprocate and it was really nice. We had sex like rabbits. However, it has been a year into the relationship and I feel that sex has been slowing down because of our busy schedules. She's a high achiever in school and gets stressed out quite easily.

 

Whenever I try to make our conversations sexual, she either just brushes it off or playfully says "eww" or something else that sounds shy. It didn't use to be like that and I'm sort of feeling insecure.

 

She also used to reply really quickly in the initial stages of the relationship, but now she doesn't reply as quickly or wittily.

 

I feel that we used to have more intelligent conversations and exchanges but this could be due to the flirtatious nature of the beginning of this. Now it's not that sort of text but the more stable and everyday texts. We do still have sex when we get the chance to and it's still great.

 

Is this whole situation normal?

You can't keep it in the initial infatuation stages forever. You need to let things evolve into relationship mode. Flurries of texts and sex like rabbits can calm down when real life happens and bonds strengthen beyond hormones. Relax and try to let things mature and grow.

Just sounds like you're entering a lull point in the relationship. You can't force her to be sexual especially if it's not on her mind. You can live in the fantasy beginning stages forever. The honeymoon phase is over, that's all it means. If the sex is still great even though all of this is happening, then you really have nothing to worry about. She is just probably just concentrating on school and her future, and just doesn't want to be sexual sometimes. Can't fault her for that right?
