Is it normal for my bf to lose interest/ not want sex

My boyfriend and I have been together a little over a year and have shared our first apartment together for the last 5-6 months (first time living with a bf/gf for both of us). In the beginning he was extremely cuddly and all about me. I know things naturally slow down a little bit after you settle into a rythem and get comfortable but that doesn't mean it should stop. He doesn't hold my hand, hug me, or hold me in bed anymore. And the only time he kisses me or says "I love you" is when he's leaving for work and it's a quick close-mouthed kiss. He always says he just doesn't wanna be in a lovey-dovey mood. Also our sex life was great and he could never get enough of me but now he's refusing sex with lame excuses like "my tummy hurts", "I just ate" and "but you're on your period" when that never stopped him before. I hate to say this but he does have a little bit of a past as far as cheating on one of his exes. Is this behavior normal or should I be worried that something more is going on here?

    I wouldn't be concerned of him cheating, I'd be more concerned of why he's suddenly changed his mood towards sex. I'd sit him down and have a serious talk with him. Tell him how the lack of attention and affection hurts you and worries you and if there is anything wrong. Good luck.

    I have a theory.

    Perhaps he doesn't feel like he needs to put any effort into the relationship anymore because he already has you.
    What he doesn't realize, is that if he keeps this up he's going to lose you.

    Anyway, I would follow up on DannyKanes's advice.
    It's what I would say myself.

    Goodluck.
