I (26M) have been with my girlfriend (25F) for 6 years. About 4 years ago, while we were on a break, I sexted someone else. She found out 2 years ago and considers it cheating, but chose to stay and try work through it. Since then, things haven’t felt the same.
Lately, the relationship feels forced and emotionally draining. A big issue is intimacy—we’ve always struggled with it, but now it’s worse. I’m always the one initiating. If I don’t, we can go months without sex. I’ve communicated this multiple times, but she usually says she’s stressed or depressed. I understand that, but it’s been a consistent pattern and I’m starting to feel unwanted and undesired.
I put effort into the relationship—dates, thoughtful gestures, being present—but it doesn’t seem to translate into any effort from her side when it comes to intimacy. Physical touch is important to me, and this imbalance is starting to affect how I feel in the relationship.
I love her and appreciate that she stayed after what happened, but I’m starting to question whether we’re truly compatible or just holding on out of history. I’m considering ending things, but I’m torn.
Am I wrong for wanting my partner to initiate intimacy and make me feel desired? Especially when old flings are always trying to hit me up.
