When you’re in a relationship, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that it’s just a relationship: there’s no pressure or expectation for sex. Sex doesn’t mean longevity, but rather a lot of pleasure and companionship in your life. Sometimes, when two people have been together for a while and aren’t in love with each other anymore (often due to outside circumstances), they might be able to talk through their issues with boredom or other problems within the relationship and decide not to continue it once and for all.
You’ve hit a wall, and that means you’re in love. You’re thinking about a future together, and you’ll do anything to make it work. But the problem is sex isn’t happening. Periods are missed, less often used because of excuses (like sleeping too much) but enough to let you know something is wrong. The relationship doesn’t feel complete, even when you think everything is fine. You sit down with your partner and ask what’s the matter. He says nothing’s wrong, he’s just not interested in sex at all anymore. Not talking about that gaping hole in your life can make it worse, so you should leave while things are still good between the two of you before it gets worse and you regret staying later on down the road.
A sexless relationship is one in which you and your partner have not had sex for more than a year. While many people want a life of sexual gratification, some don’t want children and others find themselves enjoying the lack of intimacy. If that sounds like you, here’s how to walk away from a sexless relationship without hurting yourself or your partner.
Finding a relationship is hard and sometimes it even hurts. But to make things even more difficult, relationships can turn bad and the trust you once had in each other might be completely gone. The reason why relationships may start to become less enjoyable, less pleasurable, and less attractive is because of something called “sexual boredom.” The feelings that you formerly felt for your partner, which were once so exciting and attractive, change into a sense of nothingness.
If you’re in a sexless relationship and wondering when to end it, you’re not alone. A lot of people wonder when is the right time to walk away from a relationship that isn’t fulfilling their expectations. Most couples struggle because they aren’t aware of each other’s needs and desires, but there are steps you can take to improve your relationship before deciding whether to leave or just spend more time improving it.
If you find that your sex life is struggling or non-existent, it may be time to end things. You should never pressure your partner; however, there are times when you should take action.
One of the hardest things to do in a relationship is to walk away. But once you have left, whether it’s a serious relationship or a casual encounter, it’s important, to be honest, and work through any emotions surrounding the decision.
