Well, you can take some solace in the fact that this is a temporary situation. In another 10~15 years, you will be hitting your sexual peak about the time he is discovering he has a favorite chair.
Seriously though, the fact that you are having problems does NOT mean you have a bad relationship or that there is something wrong with either of you. What defines a good relationship is how you deal with those issues. No matter what issues you guys are going through, the best advice is to treat each other with respect, kindness, and compassion. When you discuss the problem, don't accuse or say things like "You never ..., You always..., etc". Seperate the actions from the person and use "I" statements like "I feel .... when we....". If you are still in college and have a chance, take some classes in Interpersonal communication, or simply read some of the books on how to survive conflict.
Learning how to work through tough issues in a way that strengthens your relationship instead of tearing it apart is the best skill you can learn. It will get you through this "crisis" and all the rest of the ones that are coming.
It took me 12 years and a divorce to finally realize how important that is and I am determined not to let that happen again with my 2nd wife.
Good Luck!
