Intimacy and guilt

My DH (probably late stage 4 or into stage 5?) makes comments and wants to be intimate alot!

I on the otherhand have not wanted to for some time, just no desire. I feel guilty for not being intimate with him, but just can not bring myself to.

DH has always had a higher drive than me. I keep thinking this will probably get worse since he always was that way.

Just so tired of putting him off and making excuses and wishing his desire would fade.

Even more tired of feeling guilty about it.

Thanks for letting me vent. A bit embarrassed to discuss this, but this is the only place I feel I can.
