Hi there
I’ve gotten to the point where I feel this is the only place I can get advice for my situation
I’ve been dating my girlfriend for around a year and a half now, and everything is going well. I am content in my relationship in pretty much every single way except I don’t find my girlfriend sexually attractive anymore. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even want to kiss her passionately and don’t feel like I want to have sex with her, and when I do have sex with her I find myself fantasising over girls that I find sexually attractive who I know in real life. Most of the time when I’m not with her, I just masturbate to porn or over girls that I find attractive to deal with my feelings. We’ve tried different things sexually, but I still feel the same way about her. I feel disgusted with myself because even though I’ve never acted on it, this situation is making me find other girls really attractive and making me feel like I want to cheat. I know I’ll never cheat because my morals would kick in, but at the same time the situation is making me feel unhappy and disgusted in myself. I’ve spoken to a close friend about it and he has no idea what I should do, as I’m satisfied in every other aspect in the relationship, just not sexually. I do suffer from depression, but I don’t feel like that should effect anything as I’m still sexually attracted to people, but just not her. She used to often say that she feels like she’s punching, but I’m unsure if that’s had a part to play. I have no idea what to do in this situation so any advice is good advice.
Thank you for your help
