You’ll probably get plenty of replies talking about how it can technically work if all these compromises are in place, and that is true to a certain extent.
Honestly, libido differences only work out if they’re fairly close, like if one of you wants sex once a week, and the other wants sex multiple times a week, that’s easy to deal with. If your disparity is like once a month vs once or multiple times a week, it’s too much and will cause tension and resentment eventually.
When one partner feels desire all the time, and the other needs cosmic alignment to feel desire and is either not open to accepting advances, or rejecting constantly, it’s very very hot to not breed resentment, for both people. The HL partner will generally be upset and resentful that their partner does not desire them either at all or in a reciprocal fashion, and the LL partner becomes resentful because they feel pressured or objectified. In most of these cases, the “compromise” generally consists of the HL shutting up and dealing with it, and the problem goes away for the LL. You can search around this sub and a few others to find multiple examples.
Maybe it can work out, who knows, but IMO the eventual outcome is that you’d both be better off finding someone more compatible at a basic level.
Trust is earned, not given.
No, they really won’t work.
