Hey man, I get it—this sounds like a tough situation to navigate. On the one hand, you’ve got a girlfriend who’s clearly crazy about you, but on the other hand, it’s putting a serious strain on your physical and emotional health. First off, let me say that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with needing a break. You’re not being ungrateful or weak; you’re just human.
It’s great that you’ve tried talking to her about this, but from what you’ve described, she doesn’t seem to fully understand the impact it’s having on you. You might need to be a little more direct. For example, let her know that while you love her enthusiasm and attraction to you, your body physically can’t keep up with this pace, and continuing like this could cause long-term harm. Sometimes people don’t realize how serious something is until it’s spelled out for them.
You might also want to set some ground rules for when and where intimacy happens. Spontaneity can be fun, but if it’s happening at inappropriate times or places (like the club or while you’re doing dishes), it can become overwhelming. Let her know that you still want to be intimate, but you need some structure to make it enjoyable for both of you.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of compromise. Maybe she’s looking for more connection or reassurance, and sex is her way of expressing that. Finding other ways to bond—like quality time, thoughtful gestures, or shared hobbies—could help her feel secure while giving you the space you need to recharge. Relationships are about give and take, and it sounds like you’re both trying to figure out how to make that work.
