I need help. I’ve been w/ my bf for almost 4 years. I love him and he’s one of the good ones fs. But I don’t want to have sex. We’ve done it in the past plenty and it’s been good but more recently in the last year I just don’t want to. (cont. in comment)

We’ve tried talking abt it so many times but he seems to just get mad/frustrated when I say I just don’t feel like it. I don’t do anything to myself or fantasize about it or anyone else I just don’t feel like it’s something I need to do. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t left me because I think we are at 1 year since we’ve done anything now. I feel so bad and I want to want it but it just feels forced. I really love this guy and we’ve envisioned a future together, but this WILL be a deal breaker

Maybe try couple's counseling. Sound like you both are committed but from his perspective it can be isolating and demoralizing. A counselor could suggest ways to "rekindle the spark" so-to-speak. However, if your stance is firm, he'll either have to adjust to this new norm or accept that perhaps this relationship is not salvageable.

Thank you for your input. I’ve thought about counseling to get “professional” help and he’s even said that. But he said he think I should do it and I don’t think he would. We haven’t really talked about counseling but Its always been about “fixing” me so I’m not sure how he will take that. I definitely will bring it up
