  • This happened to me and recently (six months ago) I moved out as I prefer being lonely alone than lonely in a sterile relationship. I tried for a long time to re-establish closeness but was rejected constantly, (four and a half years). Sex is part of communication in a relationship and if it's not there it shows there are serious flaws in the fabric. Try to get your partner to talk things over, not just their feelings about sex but other things. You may find she/he is angry and resentful or depressed and anxious about some things? I couldn't even get eye contact never mind talk from my partner - after 24 years of marriage too! If it's over, it's over, move on. Hard and sad but can be done.
  • If you're friends, you like each other and wish to continue the relationship on that basis, fine... might depend upon your age, state of health and how important sex was/is to you as well! :)
  • Pretty much. Things only happen once in a blue moon. My desires for intancey are huge and I don't get them fulfilled at all nowadays. Not sure what to do to fix this at the moment. Wish I knew.
  • Sex is only 10% of what makes up a relationship, yet if you take it away it makes up 90% of the problem. I don't know the answer and if you asked me on different days I would probably give you entirely opposing views too. Just shows you how much of an emotional swinger this is. Unless, like Rosie says you are friends and have at least that bit of comfort, I'd say Quit x
  • Gosh, I guess it is hard to face the fact that you must try a separation for a little while and see how you feel. Perhaps the old feeling may come back.
