I've been with my boyfriend for five years now and over the last year our sex life has become.... just life... No sex.
For the first two years of our relationship we had a good sex life and after that it started becoming less and less. We haven't had sex for six months now, but we didn't much before that.
I have spoke to him about this and he's made a few excuses over the years, he insists it's not me, he fancies me etc. I've got to a point where I have given up trying to talk because I don't want to put pressure on him and it's become awkward.
He's a great person, and he's loving in other ways... he's not perfect but no one is. We run our house and live together well, he makes me happy, I can trust him completely, he's there for me when I need him most and he does make effort to make me happy. He kisses me and cuddles me, he's loved by all my family, I fancy him, I feel like I am my best self and he's supportive .... but!!
I'm at a stage in my life where I'm thinking about marriage etc, and I always wonder if it's normal to be with someone who is lovely but is essentially just my best friend... It gets me down.
Is the grass greener?
Am I selfish?
We might split and I could have different issues with someone new that are worse!
Please someone just tell me what the right thing to do is!
