Do I settle for a relationship without sex?

A Guest Answers:

Dear Clare,

There Is Something Wrong Besides the Sex

I am sorry to hear you are in this situation. I once had a similar situation. You have to look deeper than the sexual attraction to find out where the real problem lies. There is obviously something more going on here.

Did You or He Change?

What?!! As I said in another answer, news flash, It is VERY likely that she will be less sexually attracted to him over time.

Suddenly, becoming unattracted to someone for no apparent reason is highly unlikely. Did he change in some way? Did your feelings change? Did sex become different (not as passionate, boring, etc.,) If so, those could be the reasons you do not feel sexually attracted to him anymore or do not want to engage in sex with him.

Maybe It Was Infatuation

If those things do not apply to you then you must ask yourself do you REALLY love this person. Maybe it was and still may be just an infatuation. That is when you are attracted to a person, and feel you are in love with them, then as a little time passes, you may become unattracted to them and say to myself "What was I thinking?"

But I DO love him on the inside — he's my best friend.

I describe truly loving someone as loving everything about them. I have even had situation where the only thing that made me sexually attracted to a person was the fact that I loved them on the inside. I loved everything about them. Even though they had faults I could not see them, to me their faults were not faults at all. You need to consider these facts.

Move On Before You Hurt Him

If you think this may be only infatuation, then you need to move on, before this guy gets the wrong idea. You could wind up really hurting him.

Talk To Him

On the other hand, if you truly love this person (willing to give him all your time, love everything about him, make sacrifices for him,etc.), then the two of you need to sit down and discuss this. If you really love him, there is a deeper meaning than just not being sexually attracted to him anymore. You need to talk to him and figure out what it is, and try to work on it and be happy.

Good Luck!

Petite
