I’ve been having king of similar issue, I guess. I’m a bi guy in a relationship with a woman.
We’re in our twenties, we live together, and we’ve had sex three times in the last four months.

I think she’s semi-asexual or sex-repulsed. She has a lot of trauma from bad past partners and doctors who treated her awfully. It’s something I have a lot of sympathy for, but also... I have a partner who just doesn’t want to have sex with me. We don’t even deep kiss anymore, it makes her uncomfortable.

I’ve talked to her about an open relationship, or an open relationship where I only have sex with guys; and she hates the idea.

She is in therapy and she’s working on the issue but I don’t have a lot of faith it’ll get better, and even if it does, it could be years.

I'm gonna be the rear end in a top hat to say :sever:, you two sound like you'd be better friends than partners

Yeah I agree this. It sucks but having compatible sex drives is important in a relationship.

My ex and I had our relationship fall almost directly into this. I think we would have ended up getting really resentful toward one another if she didn't land a dream job a few states away. It gave us the opportunity and clarity to realize that we would be better friends and to call it there with no hard feelings. I'm with everyone saying sever and try to lean towards friendship, don't let a relationship with a good person become spiteful.

i would also agree. to sever. i would stress that you am still their friend/love them/whatever emotional assurances you sincerely need to make and are not just platitudes, and that you are happy to help how or when you can with their recovery, but that you are clearly not a fit because she is incapable of providing you the support that YOU need. your support and love are not conditional on hers, but her restriction on allowing you to find that support elsewhere and that being so firm on her side is the straw breaking the camels back, not her problems on their own. hopefully this is gentle enough, for her and you. thank you for reading.

I'm not going to straight out say sever but yeah, that's the sort of thing where you need to sit down, figure out your priorities in a relationship, and make a decision from there. It is ok and normal for compatible sex drives to be a high priority in a relationship. I wouldn't be surprised if the end of that is :sever:.

Thank you all so much for your advice and your validation, it means a lot.

I’ve thought about ending things a lot. Right now, I am going to hold out hope for sex therapy - which my girlfriend is very enthusiastic about. I don’t know if it’ll work, but it’s our best chance at figuring out a way for sex to work between us, and maybe with a mediator’s help she’ll feel more comfortable with opening things up as well.

We were actually planning to do that this summer, but then a pandemic happened and I can’t find work and, well... you know.

It’s a long shot, maybe, but I really love her and I’ve never felt more emotionally supported by anyone in my life. She’s also the only person I’ve ever wanted to have children with, which I never thought I’d want.

It’s an awful, awful situation, but I think it’s worth trying this one last resort. She’s really special.

In brighter news, I finally talked to my psych about anti-anxiety meds and I am now on Klonopin and Buspiron, which will hopefully help things!

e: as thanks, here is a picture of our very homosexual cats

I broke up with a chick because her sex drive was higher than mine, great gal but to hell with keeping up with that. I was just as miserable as she was about it. Now that I've settled into a LTR with really compatible drives I've always felt really vindicated in that decision.

This has been an extremely good thread, I hope it can continue for many years into the future. If it can't, that's ok too, I think it's done a lot of good and had some stellar discussion, but nothing lasts forever. Guess we'll see what the future holds.

August is my birthday and if I can be sober for that, I know I've done it.

Mate, taking time off from alcohol, (or whatever else you wish to abstain from), is a good thing, and I wish you well for your sober month and a bit. Also happy birthday!

I personally like to do a Dry July, or Octsober at least once a year because 1)it's good for the body and soul, and also 2) to prove to myself that I can.

A month sounds like a lot right now, but that’s an awesome idea. I’m still at the point of feeling some small measure of happiness in having talked myself out of exposure to the outside world just to get alcohol tonight.
