Boyfriend doesn’t want to have sex

My (30F) boyfriend (40M) was extremely excited and in love with my body once we started dating, six years ago. I could see from his eyes that he adored it, he couldn’t get enough of it, and even if we were having sex once a week, he was still very into it, very into me. We were both new in a new city and it was mostly the two of us at the time.

Until 3 years ago, he met his now best friends, a group of men. Progressively our sexual life started getting worse. Now we reached a point where we had sex only twice this year. He says it’s because of work , he has no time, but for some reason he finds time every week to go and drink with his friends until very early in the morning. I thought multiple times maybe he’s not attracted to me anymore, but he still initiates some sexual things, such as grabbing me and praising my body.

Two days ago things got somehow sexual and we did some foreplay before we met his friends. It was maybe the best night of this year. I completely forgot how it is to feel pleasure how it is to feel wanted, a woman, how it is to share an intimate moment with the person you love. Im writing this with tears in my eyes as now we invited over his friends and im alone in the room and he didn’t even think of coming to me and doing it really quickly.

I feel like im missing out big time. But at the same time i cant imagine my life without him. I love him and he loves me, but this hurts me a lot.

Would you in my case just accept a sexless life and stay with the love of your life forever ?
