I have been in a 7-year relationship with someone I genuinely love and care about. He is kind, supportive, and has also helped me emotionally and financially in different ways over the years, which I truly appreciate. However, from the beginning of the relationship, there has never really been strong physical attraction between us, and our s€xual life has always been unfulfilling for me. I don’t enjoy it, even when it happens, and it leaves me feeling dissatisfied. We also don’t really have the typical romantic side of a relationship. We don’t go on dates, eat out, or do many couple activities together, so it often feels more like companionship than a romantic partnership. Now he is suggesting that we move in together. Part of me wants to, but I feel very confused because I keep thinking about all these long-standing issues and the fact that I already feel emotionally and physically unfulfilled in the relationship. I do love him, but I don’t feel fully happy or satisfied. I feel s€xually deprived and emotionally uncertain about where this relationship is heading.
I’m struggling to understand if love and appreciation are enough to keep building a future together, or if I need to seriously rethink things. I’m 28 years old, and he is currently not financially stable and also not ready for marriage. I find myself questioning if I should continue staying in the relationship just because he helps in his own way, even though it’s not much financially. We are both loyal to each other, and there is no cheating in the relationship. But recently, my desire for physical intimacy has increased, and I’m realising that I need more than what I’m currently getting. At this point, I’m confused about whether I should continue, move in with him, or step back and rethink the relationship entirely.
