Im 21 and my Bf is 20. We have been going out for 1 yr exactly. but the last 3 months we haven't had sex. I really want to have sex with im. but he just doesnt seem interested. we have talked about the issue and he doesnt know why he doesnt want to have sex. He just doesnt feel like it. I have no idea what to do, I've tried to remain positive and hoped it would just be a phase hes going through. But its been 3 months and I dnt know how much longer this will last. I dont want to cheat or break up with him.
he changed his job three months ago, he stopped working out. hes healthy, but stresses about money, which is unnesscery cause we both are financially stable. He also doesnt want to have kids, which is fine cause i dont want any either. But he stresses about getting me pregnant. i have no idea what to do.
