Married for about 8 month now.....
It seems as if i'm always wanting the sex and other physical intimacy in our marriage, but he is always tired. I don't know how to tell him that i need him more sexually. I feel almost a bit selfish because i know he has had a very long day, but there is hardly even anymore physical intimacy so that also makes me want to have sex more or place more importance on it because there hasn't been any in between touching, cuddling or kissing or anything like that. I know he loves me with all his heart, but i need him to show me more. Am i the only one out there with this problem? Any advice would be great. And just recently he started working in the next state over so i only get to see him for about a day and a half now on the weekends 
Re: Married for about 8 month now.....
Definitely talk to him about it. PP is right. If you can't talk about your sex life with your husband (or anything else for that matter) then you shouldn't be married. Communication is key to a healthy relationship.
My husband works very long shifts and is always tired when he gets home. In order to get some intimacy when he gets home, I send a little text message letting him know what I want, and by the time he gets home, it's not a problem.
Hope this helps!
Agreed: you need to have a very long and frank talk with him. It's something you need to work on together.
Were you and he sexually active before you were married? If so, what was your sex life like then? (more backstory will help)
If you weren't -- and if you and he were both virgins --- this is why I don't advocate a couple's first time together happening on their wedding night. Often as not, abstinence due to religious reasopns screws it up for the both of them.
