Ok, so here is my situation... i have been with my wife for 7 years soon. And we had an over the top sex life up untill the point i proposed to her. Here's a break down of what i mean
year
1: 4-5 times a day
2-3: 2-3 times a day on the week, on the week-end, 4 times a day
4-6: 1-2 times a day on the week, on the week-end, 3 times a day
6-present:
after i proposed to here, we had a moment (2-3 weeks) where we went back to year 1 type sex. But after that, it inexplicably dropped to maybe once a week and none on the week-end. i wonder is this normal? Because all of a sudden i feel like i got lured into getting married with false advertisement. Now i know that sex is not everything, but it sure is a damn big part of it!
What is everyone taught on this, or personal experience?
Lmao… ok, love the feedback! But maybe i miss worded what i was looking for here. I know that she didn't lure me for 7 years… and i mean if she as, Wouah! Props to her! But we are talking about what's up with the diminish sex drive and trying to figure it out… i was just really wondering if anyone else as seen a diminish sex drive in their relatioship after getting married or engaged.

If you feel lured into marriage after 7 years toghether and think she used sex to snare you you:
1. are very paranoid and self centered.
or
2. need to communicate about your feelings with your wife.
I would never be with someone 7 years as an elaborate scheme to get married, then laugh and close the vagina for business.
This.
Also, sex multiple times a day, every day, for six years? Maybe she's just sore.
Seriously though, everyone (of any gender, single or married) has fluctuating hormone levels and libidos. If she feels like the change is drastic and unexplained, she can consult a medical professional.
I experienced a complete loss of libido after getting married. It had nothing to do with my relationship, and everything to do with the new birth control pill I was on. I quit it, and it still took my body about a year to get back to normal.

Maybe she's tired.
Maybe things have gotten busier at work.
Maybe she has other things on her mind.
Maybe...
Maybe...
Maybe...
WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE AREN'T HER. ASK HER WHAT'S GOING ON.
holy shit, people. I know I'm no expert on relationships, but Jesus Fuck, try talking to each other about it. Communicate. If you can't have a straight-on conversation with her about something that is bothering you, why the hell are you in a relationship with this, or any, person?
Sex is adventurous and exciting in a new relationship. As time goes on, things become routine. As you get older, your priorities tend to change to focus on tasks of life, not relationships. People get busy and things like shaving your legs and dousing yourself in skin smoothing lotions tend to become more time consuming than they are worth. That has a tendency to cause women to feel less attractive, and reduce the sex drive. High stress situations like planning a wedding, having a baby, changing careers...they all put other things to the forefront of the kind. Try helping her relax and ease her stress.
Cook dinner, draw her a bath, remind her how she enjoys sex. And talk to her about how you feel. And LISTEN to how she feels.
I'm sorry dude, but people are only allowed to have so much sex in their life. You've reportedly had sex 1-2 times PER day for the last 6 year, at the minimum that's 4272 sexings. You're the very reason some people are going to die virgins, because you've had all the sex.
On a more serious note...
Sex drive is affected by a ton of emotional things. Having a large life changing event, such as marriage, will totally affect that. I suggest you listen to Coyote and ask her.
