Is it ok if my boyfriend loves me but is not attracted to me sexually?

[Nimitttt]

He said me that he was attracted to me before a year but now he is not but he loves me and we had many memories so it’s too tough for him to leave me and that he’ll never breakup with me.

Yes, sexual attraction fades with time

No

The question is, are you okay with that? Would you be satisfied without physical intimacy or sexual satisfaction for the rest of your life. How would that make you feel about yourself?

It's like he's saying "I love you but you disgust me physically."

I couldn't deal with that. I'd be miserable.

Sometimes relationships don't work out. Sometimes there are differences that are impossible to live with and even unhealthy. Sometimes you have to recognize that and move on rather than being miserable for the rest of your life.

My advice is to find someone who loves and adores you, brings you joy, AND gives you the kind of ecstatic pleasure that makes you glad to be alive. Find a man who rocks your world and is more than a mere friend.

You're young. You haven't been with this guy very long. Don't throw your life away. You just haven't met the right man yet.

Tell him that it didn't work out, wish him a happy life, and move on.

Then he’s not your boyfriend, he’s just a friend. He might even be gay, and that’s alright too, but do you talk about what or who he does find sexually attractive? That’s not meant to be a weird question. I have a pretty good sense of my SOs preferences (in guys and girls), and she knows mine. Sometimes she’ll even call it out, like ‘oh my god, check out her ass’ or ‘do you those are real?’ It’s true that libido may change overtime, and not every couple is going to try to have sex everyday when they’ve been together for years, but I don’t see that the same as not being sexually attracted to each other. Are you sexually attracted to him? Like, are you pining over him and thinking about him while you masturbate because he’s not on, in or beside you?

Attraction matters as much as the emotional connection.. bond between couples. If a relationship lacks either of the two, it's bound to fall apart after some time because neither of you are asexual or are into open relationship, right? So, he's going to feel attracted to other girls and what if he can't resist his temptation and cheats on you? Also, would you want him and yourself to be sexually frustrated too?

You guys should try to get a makeover and try to spice things up, you know? Also, start going on dates, don't get too comfortable. See, if that works. If it doesn't, then I say it's better you guys end things because you deserve to be happy and content and so does he.

You deserve better than this. I know it is not easy, but it might be time to move on.

[Bricealan]

You are too young for the 'sexual attraction' to have faded.

[Wise4myage]

No, not in my opinion. Id fine that a waste of time.

[Guardian45]

There's something wrong with your boyfriend. Drop him. Move on. You deserve someone better!

[CatVader]

why did it fade though?

[spartan55]

What is stopping you from leaving him?

[Alex-Snow]

Have you had sex with him?

[Anonymous]

No that's not ok
