If its any consolation, Dear Prudence tackled a writer's problem that was very similar to yours earlier this week - husband wanted sex daily, sometimes more. Wife would try to keep up, but the effort would decrease after a week or so of constant sex. Not sure if you read her columns or not, but she definitely sided with the wife, saying he might want to try taking his needs into his own hands (literally) when she needed a break.

If libidos do not match, both parties need to compromise. You're having sex with your husband almost daily to try to meet his needs. He should respect your need for a break. I can see how he relates sex with you and your connection/intimacy as a couple. But I'm sure he's not buying you flowers and giving you footrubs every day of the week either, something that perhaps makes you feel happy in the relationship?

Who is compromising here?
