Sex File: Getting engaged killed my libido

I have just got engaged to my long-term boyfriend and I’m over the moon, but it seems to have killed my sex drive. Something about the confirmation that this is my sex life for ever just makes me not want to have sex. I don’t think it means I don’t want to marry him, but I don’t know how to get over it. What can I do?

Don’t underestimate the psychological impact of this transition. Getting engaged is exciting but can be hugely stressful, and it is perfectly feasible to be thrilled about being engaged yet simultaneously uncertain about aspects of your relationship.
