Why wont he...........?

ok so im 21 and my man is 26. We've been together for almost 5 years. Well we went from cant keep our hands of each other for 5 seconds and having sex like 5 times a day to "HE" cant stand to touch or be touched by me and refuses to have sex with me. I beg, I pled, I try making him dinner to eat together (which he still wont b/c hes parked in front of his new 360), masturbating, just about any and every thing i can think of. But still nothing. His idea of sex is the 30 seconds he spends about once every two weeks getting some while I'm usually trying to sleep. I confronted him about this and he said that he just tired. But to me that bull**** b/c he has enough time when he comes home from work to sit in front of the 360 for HOURS on end. Sometimes staying up all night playing and then going to work at 6 in the morning with NO sleep. What can I do? Is it me or him? Sometimes I think that its me. I feel like im not what he wants so he just ignores me. Please help.

Update:

we were together for 2 years before we ever had sex. So the whole thing about our relationship being based off of sex is incorrect. We were really good friends to start with but things just went down from there. Im sure there is no one else b/c we have to many room mates that would rat him out just to see him go. Plus we only have one car and its only used to go back and forth to work in. (it sucks up gas so if he goes anywhere i know without asking) Do you think it could be stress? We were TTC a few months ago and even that hes let go of.

Update 2:

the two words "videogame addiction" have came up so many times with not just me but his family also. He denies it but seriously..... anyone who can spend 18 hours a day in front of a game is addicted. Could this be the cause? What can me and his family do? I guess I never thought about it interfering with sex. Just thought that he was just being selfish. He usually is with everything. Weve only been on maybe 5 real "dates" and he wont go anywhere "normal" with me. He says that all I do is shop and that he hates that. We just moved 500 mile away from where we are from to be with his family and they dont understand how i put up with him. So it isnt like I can just leave or go hang out with the girls. I dont know anyone here. PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm going to go crazy. I got a really high sex drive and its already been a month of laying next to someone who is pretty much null and void.

    Well, if a guy goes from 5 times a day to once in a while, could be he's still doing that same number somewhere else.

    Maybe things will go back to normal once the newness of the 360 is gone. Have you tried talking to him? It is possible that there is an addiction going on here. It is possible for a person to get addicted to video games. Ask his friends and family if they are noticing a change in him. Maybe you can do a group intervention or maybe different people talking to him at different times will get him thinking.

    I am assuming that this is not only about sex. You are wanting a little of his attention and sitting in front of a video game is not quality time. He might as well be off somewhere else.

    I wish you the best of luck on this and hope that it passes. Maybe if you start doing your own thing and going out with the girls he will start to miss you.

    Hello,

    You probably don’t have excitement in your life as a couple any more. That's why you don't see each other sexually as you used to.

    Little details make a relationship grow. You probably don't have details anymore with each other.

    I will recommend that you take the initiative and try one more time, if it doesn't work is probably healthier for you to move out the relationship before you hurt or hate each other more.

    I suggest that you change your ways and dress sexier for him, especially when he comes from work. Have a bubble bath ready for him, cook something different and have a sensual dessert, fix his favorite drink. Teas him in a good way so he can regain interest in you. Leave a note on his windshield saying that you love him, tell him in that note that he would have a surprise if he gets home earlier.

    Have a personal picnic in the middle of your living room with some cheese, fruits and whipped cream chocolate or caramel, some wine or champagne etc.

    Any little detail that you think is not important for you might be important for him.

    People think that little details are not important but in reality little details are what makes the difference in a relationship.

    Let him see you naked or half naked.

    Even if you are upset or mad at him tell him that you love him, just tell him that you are mad but you love him still.

    It is very important that you tell him how you feel. Do it in writing, that way you’ll get all of is attention. Make sure he knows that you want him to treat you just the same way as he wants to be treated and it's up to him if he wants to be treated good or bad.

    Best Wishes.

    This is a common problem when the basis of a realtionship was the sex, and there wasn't time to actually fall in love on a spiritual level. If there was love first (not sex love), and there is no desire, then the love has been eroded by entertaining unrighteous thoughts (basis sin). He is not to tired, but is afraid of the truth, and may not be able to admit it or actually know why the erosion of love happened. It is a dark place to go, but you should get it out on the table and not let it just hang around as if everything is OK. It is better to know the truth of the matter than to just wonder forever.

    When he's not working is home on the 360 or does he go out? If he's home all the time at least you have that.. and when he's done with this game obsession he'll snap out of it. If he's not having an affair, he may be thinking of it.. As him what he wants out of the relationship...

    Man's testosterone levels go down after they get into a committed relationship (see Harvard study). This could be affecting his libido. If you want to help his testosterone levels - act like you aren't "together". Dress like you used to. Stop nagging so much like you used to. Go out to dinner, but don't get dressed in front of each other. Make it a surprise like it used to be. And if he doesn't want to hang out with you, go out with The Girls to keep him guessing ... just a little bit.

    If you're not getting it....somebody IS! He didn't go from wanting sex 5 times a day, to wanting sex every couple of weeks or so. Something's wrong somewhere!!!! Keep your eye on him! He's giving it to somebody!!

    Why continue to allow yourself to be treated like s**t ? He is taking you for granted. You have talked about it time and time again with him, and still nothing. There is nothing else to talk about. Pack all of your stuff, leave and never look back. Don't answer his phone calls, emails, etc. It's time to move on.

    Lesson learned: If you want good, reliable sex...never allow an XBox into the house.
