How about having an honest conversation with your best friend?

Discuss having an open relationship, break up with her, or be unhappy - you pick!

choose happiness

Please tell her.

Your girlfriend is selfish. You have needs too!!

It is a myth that things get old and passion dies if you still love the other person. You both need to keep the relationship fresh and not take each other for granted. If you do not learn those skills you will be moving on always. Unless your partner has emotionally left you........that is harsh.

what you really want is to have sex with your current girlfriend. For some reason though, that isn't happening. You need to talk and maybe make a decision/choice. You already know that cheating won't be an answer for you. Sex is such an integral part of being "a couple" you owe it to yourself and your own needs to face facts. Wouldn't a real best friend understand that?

I mean, yes you could have the conversation about open relationships and meeting your needs in other ways, which is what you might do in a sexless marriage with kids and a mortgage and other reasons not to detonate the relationship.

But a girlfriend? No. The stakes are not that high. You can't be expected to be celibate. It will be painful to break up, for her and for you, unless you are a psycho. But better now than later.

And she'll want to have sex more. It sounds to me like you're a selfish lover, and nothing is more of a turn off than that. Learn how to make her feel amazing and she'll want it all the time.

You could try this thing called communication. It involves talking to your partner, calmly telling them how you feel, them listening and responding well. Then from there things can be worked on. But sometimes they don't respond well and don't care about your feelings. In that case, love yourself to know she isn't the one for you and end it.
