I just want to get some impartial advise really. I've been with my male partner for 6 years, we have a home together. I love him, but I feel unfulfilled. Sexually it is okay, good at the beginning but not really for the last 4 years. I'm now 27, and as I have gotten older my feelings and fantasies about women have grown. They have always been there but I didnt care so much when I was younger, I was having fun, but now I am older they seem to have got more intense and I find myself obsessing about them. I've never been with a women and there are people I like but no one in particular and I haven't been in a position to experiment. I really would like to, but i'm nervous and scared. I also hate myself as I love my partner and he is so important to me and my best friend. We get on so well in every other way it makes me feel sad that sexually I am not attracted to him (kissing and cuddling fine). I didnt think that was the be all and end all of a relationship but feeling unsatisfied + my unexplored feelings towards women is slowly driving me mad. I feel panicky, anxious and sad a lot of the time. Has anyone been through something similar? I feel like I need to act on my feelings, move out and be alone, but I don't want to throw away what is aside this a great relationship.
