My boyrfriend and I have been together for just a little over 10 months now. We are both divorced and in our very early 30's. Our relationship, for the most part, has been wonderful. We do everything together and talk about everything...we have no secrets from eachother. We have arguments like anyone else but I wouldn't say they are very bad. We have been talking about marriage and having a child together for the last couple months (he brought it up) and I think he is going to propose soon. (I overheard him talking about the ring.) However, our sex life has been the exception to everything else in our relationship. I love making love with him but he acts like he really doesn't care about it. For example, we are both in bed relaxed and i start kissing on him, he will make up an excuse as to why he doesn't want to make love with me, ie im too tired, have bladder infection, headache, stressed etc. It is never about getting in the mood, the idea is cut off right from the start. We had not made love for about 3 weeks and when we tried, he couldn't get an erection. No big deal, we cuddled and I assured him it was fine...it happens. A few days later, same thing, couldn't get erect at all. That was a week and a half ago. We tried tonite and still nothing. I asked him if he is masturbating and he said he has and last time was four days ago. He had no problem getting an erection or ejaculating then, so there probably isnt anything wrong with him. I feel like he is not attracted to me at all. He doesn't look at me with desire, even when I am naked, and he doesn't touch me in sexual ways unless we were making love. He tells me he IS attracted to me and it's not me it's him. I love this man sooo much and I want to marry him more than anything in the world but I am not sure that I can go the rest of my life without having sex. Please somebody give me some advice..I am desperate.

I'm in the same situation with my boyfriend of 2 years. He is 8 years older than me. Sometimes I feel like he is not attracted to me at all. He tells me he loves me and he shows me at times but when he is mad he is a totally different person. When we have sex , it's amazing for me but we. I look at hI'm he looks bored. It makes me think that he is cheating on me or is not attracted to me anymore. I've caught him look g for women on craigslist recently. Therés times when we dony have sex for five days straight. I have to seduce him so we can have sex. I Dont know what to do. I love him and I don't want to leave him.

Honey five days isnt unusual. Over time sex changes in relationships it gets less and less over time. And if he seems bored he probably is. U suggest you just just don't try to seduce him anymore just don't have sex at all unless he insitates it. Then he will start to wonder after about 2 weeks he will gthink the same you do so he will trying if he's actually attracted to you he will try. If you stop insitating it and a month or two passes and he doesn't try to touch or anything then that means he not attrackted to you and he's happier not having sex with you. Guys aren't hard to read if they don't seem interested they normally arent. I'm sorry if this hurt your feelings but someone needs to tell you the truth

I am in a similar situation. we have been together almost 3 years now, we have known each other our whole lives. he proposed to me over a year ago but about 6 months ago he broke up with me because i was struggling with depression and anxiety etc. i caught him watching porn several times and looking at nudes etc but he NEVER wanted me (when i told him from the start i think that is cheating since he is ONLY using porn) he would stay up late and do that crap while i was asleep and when i would try to make a move he would just push me off. He finally admitted that he isnt as attracted to me because i have put on weight since we got together. it crushed me. i love this man with everything in me, we have a home and life together. he is so mean when we fight and i swear it is so i will go in the other room and cry. there is never any remorse for making me feel so horrible or making me cry. i dont think he loves me. and i dont know how to handle it, they say just leave him. but it isnt that easy. sounds dumb, but it isnt.
Please help

I'm in the same boat as you. Ever since I had my son my boyfriend doesn't want me anymore. Yea he says he still loves me ect but he doesn't act like he's attracted to me anymore. He never wants to have sex with me anymore. I don't even initiate it anymore because i got tired of the rejection. Idk what to do I love him so much and we have a son together but a girl has needs and idk if I can be with someone that is lying to me....

I'm in the exact same situation. Except he hasn't admitted to me that it's cause I put on a little weight since we began dating. But when I read what you wrote I felt sick to my stomach. That hurts to think he might feel that way but that's gotta be the explanation for why he doesn't touch me.
November 28, 2015 - 7:23pmI'm just curious what you decided to do about it or how it's going so far?
I just have no one else to talk to.

I'm in the same situation you are, it's horrible that we love them so much but all we seem to be to them is a piece of meat.

Sounds a lot like my situation. Hes constantly watching videos of naked chicks online. I told him it bothers me and he told me something to the extent of too bad. He never wants to have sex with me anymore, i will rarely get it every once in a while lately. I am pregnant right now so maybe thats why he never wants to give me any attention idk. And now all the sudden he doesnt like when i sleep with my hand down his pants just resting on his leg, nothing sexual, now apparently he hates that all of the sudden. I tell him hes handsome all the time but i honestly cant remember the last time he told me i was pretty thats how long ago it was. He often makes me cry when hes mad about something and he doesnt care. He tells me he loves me all the time but lately it just doesnt feel the same anymore. We used to have sex all the time now practically never. I dont think he finds me attractive anymore and honestly i wonder if he even does love me or if its just convenient. Oh we have only been together a year, and we didnt even celebrate because he ruined it getting pissed off about stupid stuff.

I'm sorry to hear what's going on wit hb you and your partner. I know how it feels to go what you are going through. My boyfriend does the same thing to me. He screams and pushes me around and when he sees me cry he starts making fun of me. When I want to leave him, he starts crying begging me not to leave him. It is honestly not healthy. When he says mean things to me it hurts so much but I decide to ignore everything he says because he is just trying to hurt me. I ve learned to just walk away when he starts insult me. I just figured he just saying what he feels when he looks in the mirror. Just know that what ever he says , you are still BEAUTIFUL. Don't let h bring you down becasue you are only empowering him. Dress up , do your make up. Go out with your friends. Show him you are smarter than him.

I have an issue similar to this as well, I seriously think its been 3 months since we have had any sexual contact. I try and try, and I try to seduce or try to look attractive but its goes ignored, or something gets pointed out that has nothing to do with anything. I feel unattractive and unwanted and I don't know what to do. Whenever we kiss its even just a peck anymore. And I hate it...
