Default Should sex matter

I've been married for 3 years and for the first 2, sex was great!! She was very spontaneous and creative when it came to sex. However, in the past year this all took a complete change. It went from 2 times a week to once every 2 weeks and now once a month. When we do, I have to do all the work. She doesn't "touch" me.

When going to bed she will wrap herself in a blanket and place a pillow between us. Any attempt at reaching over just to put a hand on her results in her pulling away quickly. Now I stay on my side of the bed and think about how great it would be to actually sleep next to someone and enjoy the comfort of being held. Some nights, like tonight, I simply get out of bed and sit on the couch writing my thoughts in a journal or going online looking for some kind of explanation.

I've talked to her several times and asked what changed. However, she has more reasons for not being close than I can write I'm too warm to sleep next to, too tired, has to get up early, it's that time, not tonight - would've last night).

My question to anyone whose been married, is this normal?
Is it wrong to want it more than once a month?
Should I change my view of sex and just be happy I have it?
Should I wonder if she's not interested in me?
I know I'm an old fashioned guy who may seem "needy" in the sense that I like holding hands, hugging, snuggling, and enjoy being close. I'd be happy with sex once every 2 weeks if I could have the rest of it.

I have to say this is not a good sign. Sex/intimacy or the lack of it is a serious red flag in a relationship. You need to communicate your problem to her and start talking. There's more going on here than meets the eye. Have you had a child before the sex went downhill? That can do it. Have your lives become more stressful recently? If none of the above apply then you do need to start talking.

I'd love to help, but alas i am too young and not married. But i will say this, you don't seem "needy" at all, to want to be close to your partner should never be classified as needy.

Wrong to have it more than once are month? You are human!
There does seem that there is something definitely happening; to go from a normal sex life, to having a pillow between you when you sleep and your wife not even touching you when you have sex it seems a little drastic to me.

I wish i could be more help, keep trying to communicate with her about the reasons etc and maybe you will find the answer.

Is it possible she is depressed? Has she changed birth control pills? Is she possibly concerned about getting pregnant?

We went through a drought also. I explained that the lovemaking helped keep us close. She explained she was exhausted from doing all the chores after work. I started doing some of the chores, and being supportive. She began asking if I would be off at lunch! Everything went well after that. Tho we still fell into droughts, we knew enough to fix them.
Maybe try that?
