Am I manic? Or am I right…

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've been in my relationship for almost 6 years now.. it’s my longest relationship I’ve ever been in. All the simple basic parts are fine, I love him he makes me happy and feel safe all the above, but we haven’t had sex in months….. I’m not satisfied but if I try to talk about it he makes me feel like I’m being selfish. “If you wanna ruin a 6 year relationship over a lull in our sex life…” type of stuff. But this isn’t a new issue it’s been a growing and building issue for the last 3-4 years. First it was a couple weeks between times, then a month or two.. now we’re at 4 months. What’s next.. a year? Idk what to do… I don’t wanna throw in the towel but I feel like my voice and complaints aren’t being heard anymore. He was there for me when I really first started venturing into working on my mental health and knowing something was different about me.. so I feel obligated to stay with him during his struggles. I would have no issue sticking it out and being patient, btw, if I actually thought anything was going to change..... I don't want it seem like I am insensitive. This has been a long road.... I just don't know how to tell the difference in what my brain thinks. What is my paranoia... what are valid thoughts... idk.

    every relationship goes thru what you describe. it's what you learn from it and how to cope is what's important. something needs to change getting treatment or just a get away . sometimes we learn how to make ourselves happy while adjusting to difficult mood swings of those we love .
