ask: My boyfriend wont have sex with me anymore

my boyfriend for over a year just recently stopped having sex with me, its like it went from 3 or 4 times a week and slowly went to not having it for almost 2 months, every time i ask him why he wont play with me anymore he always says i don't know, i didn't want to make it feel like i was bugging him but i guess it just hurt when he said he didn't know? So i kept asking him and then i finally got a response which i just think he gave me so i would stop asking and he just said i feel like your getting bored of me. I've tried many times to tell him that its not really about the sex its about being with him and he still wont have sex with me.. i feel like i'm not wanted or i'm not good enough. I just want to know what the problem is, sex used to be a big part of our relationship and now its nothing.

I know it shouldnt but this is really making me depressed i've been crying more because of this i get mad easly because he just seems like he doesnt care anymore. Also i know he doesn't have a STD or anything else we get checked.

Hi Anon

If you haven't had sex with your boyfriend in 6 months and he won't talk to you about it, says you'll have sex together soon but it never happens and you are arguing about it, you need to get into therapy together (or alone or both) or end the relationship because you've spent the last 6 months waiting for him to decide how he feels to no avail. If he won't talk to you about it or agree to changes, then staying the relationship seems pointless if you are looking for things to change.

Best,

Susan

Hi Anon

Thanks for your post!

If you boyfriend is watching a lot of porn, he may be substituting it for you and has developed a preference for porn over a real woman - this can happen when someone is actively into a lot of porn.

You might want to talk to him about this.

If he is sleeping a lot, he may be bored or a bit depressed that the work isn't coming in - is he having money problems?

Ladies i feel your pain. My boyfriend and I have lived together for several months. At the beginning of our relationship he was totally into me and we used to kiss, have amazing sex and loved being around each other. Now when I go to kiss him he turns his head and kisses my cheak, rarely kisses my lips anymore and I have no problem being like "hey is there something wrong with my lips?" He just makes up excuses. We fight all the time because I feel ignored and he feels like Im disrespectful. Im 22 and he's 24 were way too young for these "dry spells" and I feel its much too early in our relationships for us to have lost the spark. I love him, and I always tell him that, but hes never once said it back to me, yet he insists that he cares for me more than I care about him. I am at my wits end with this. Im a sexual person whether its full out sex or even just a steamy make out session. I feel unattractive to him now because of the lack of physical contact. I dont know what to do anymore but its making me miserable in my relationship.

Thank you for sharing your story Anon. I'm sorry you are going through a tough time.

At 22, it might be a good idea to move on, being in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way is pointless and cruel. Don't do it to yourself, you are supposed to be your own best advocate, not enemy. Picture your best friend going through all this at such a young age. What would you say to her?

Good luck with whatever you decide,

~Susan
