Bf doesn’t want sex

Thoughts please:
Been together 10 months. Both mid-30s. We get on really well, have similar views on things and aims in life. But we haven’t had sex in 5 months. About 6 weeks ago, I talked to him about it and he said he hadn’t realised. Since then, nothing has changed. I’m getting a bit fed up and feeling unwanted. He’s happy enough for me to “lend a hand” when he asks but never reciprocates, and is happy to have a cheeky wank when I’m downstairs. I’ve given up initiating now because he either falls asleep or just ignores me. And I don’t want to be a sex pest.

This is dead, isn’t it?

Didn’t notice my arse. You are dating, you know the period of time when you see if you are compatible. Now you know, you are incompatible on a fundamental issue. Move on already!

You spoke about it and it didn’t change, unless he has short term memory issues to explain the lack of action, he told you a bare faced lie. The lack of sex isn’t the only issue, lying is also part of the mix now.

OP get rid.
It's easier to empathise with a woman, being a woman. Double standards need to be accepted on that basis. It's how pp feel. Experience is always good.
OP just needs to know why and that's the purpose of the thread.

Where's the double standard? I wouldn't recommend a man stick out a relationship where the sex has dried up within 10 months. This is supposed to be honeymoon period where you're both giving it your best and should be excited & loved up.
