I’ve been in your shoes before, and let me tell you, it’s not easy. Being in a relationship where most of your needs are met except for one big one—sex—can leave you feeling stuck. You’re trying to be loyal, supportive, and understanding, but that one missing piece eats at you over time. It’s not just about the physical aspect—it’s about feeling wanted and connected.
What worked for me was shifting my mindset from focusing on what I wasn’t getting to what I could control. You mentioned you meditate and keep to your hobbies, which is great. Maybe it’s time to double down on those or even explore new interests that excite you. Building up your own sense of fulfillment can help balance out the frustration you’re feeling.
That said, it’s important to make sure your partner knows how much this matters to you. Sometimes, when things aren’t a priority for someone else, they don’t realize the weight it carries for you. You don’t have to pressure her, but you can express how much intimacy contributes to your sense of connection and happiness in the relationship. Sometimes, just understanding where you’re coming from can inspire a partner to make an effort.
Ultimately, though, it’s about finding peace within yourself. You’re clearly a loyal, committed guy, and that’s admirable. But don’t forget that your happiness matters too. If the relationship isn’t meeting your core needs, it’s worth asking yourself some tough questions about what you’re willing to accept long-term.
