I Think My Relationship Is Over.... Long

:( my problem started a year and a half ago (well I found out about the prob a year and a half ago but I guess it really started 2 years ago.) my bf became friends with one of his buddies female friends. It turned out that my bf felt that we were having problems and he couldnt talk to me. He chose to talk with this girl on the phone almost every night for 5 months. Some conversations were only a few minutes long others were hours on end and sometimes back to back phone calls perhaps when I would call he would hang up then call her back... We live together, have for 3 years now. So these phone calls were all behind my back and im pretty sure all of them were while he was out of the house. I saw this girl at his work one night and my instinct with how they both acted was something was up... I asked, he said no.. I dropped it. But the feeling still lingered. I came home from work one night to see him sitting in his car on the phone. He immediately hung up and said he was talking to so and so (not her)she called back he silenced the ring making some silly excuse. I pleaded with him to tell me the truth he stood by his story. About 2 months went by and I for some reason decided to check his cell bill and found countless phone calls to and from the same number at very odd times of the day/night. I called it... It was her. I went back all the other months and had hard evidence. I confronted him he lied said he let his buddy use his phone and he probably called her.... Yeah... Like I said hard evidence... I cried.. Decided it was over cried and cried. He cried and some how convinced me that it was only phone conversations because he needed to talk to someone about us. It took days for my to get him to admit that he had more feelings than that for her and that he is stupid if she didnt "fall" for him in the process... Hey, im a girl.. I know the easiest way to get the guy is to be attentive to his needs... Say the right thing... Right?? Anyway, he promised that the friend ship and the calls would stop and to my knowledge it did immediately. He has no unaccounted for time since and no odd phone calls. My problem is that I cant seem to get passed it. I dont think about it anymore but I find myself very jealous now and when we do argue it almost always comes up. I hate that it does but I still feel betrayed and cant seem to let it go. I love him very much but it gets worse... In a different way and now I really dont know what to do. Our sex life in the past 2 years has been insanely almost non existant. I used to keep a calander but it got too depressing so I stopped. I try to do fun and sexy things but I get turned down by the "im tired" "i dont feel good" or "im working" stories (he is a busy man holding down a part time job and running his own business.. He also has to study a lot for this business which keeps him busy) but to me sometimes excuses are to often. I have never had a problem with arousing a man and have always had very healthy sex lives with former boyfriends. It has gotten to the point that I really want to leave. I try to talk he clams up (hmmm.....Kinda funny considering why he felt the need to call that girl a few years ago) I finally got him to talk the other night we let it all out in a non argumentitive conversation we took critisism from eachother as well as compliments. It was great. But I told him that I feel the relationship has endured far too much damage and I dont see that it is fixable at this point. He wont seem to let me go!! I know I am in charge of that but it seems that he has the right things to say to keep me from following through with it! Im a mess. I dont know what to do! But I am 98% sure I want to move out and on with my life. I really do love him but the way our sexlife is I cant help but think that if he isnt having sex with me then, who is he having sex with?? C'mon.. No one goes 2 mos or more without sex when they have someone laying beside them every night. Well, except for me that is... Lol I feel so rejected and so alone. He wont even touch me. If he wants to have sex he seems to think i'll just "know" he doesnt try to instigate it and since I have been turned down so many times I dont even try.... Im 31 years old and look much younger. Im very healthy and have confidence in my looks. We have been together now for just over 5 years. Please can any of you offer any advice? Have you been through this or know anyone who has?? Im at my wits end and I cant talk to my friends because we have almost all mutual friends and I dont really want any of them in our business.... Please help

I Can Understand Some of It
I understand how you feel about the other girl thing.
I dont know w hat I would do I nthat circumstance, I would probably want to leave but be scared to at the same time
sex on the otherhand I relate with, I am in the same boat, but reversed.
I am the one who is never in the mood, s ame exuces, blah, blah, and you said the same thing my husband says, if your not doing it iwth me youre doing it with someone else. Absolutely not true!!!
I just dont feel like it, honest to god. I am not cheating nor do I have intintions to cheat, just not in the mood. And I could go for months. I do give in everynow and then so we dont fight

Kimstevie, thanks for your reply. I know it is possible to lose sex drive and I guess for the most part I believe there is no one else but without being overly personal I know he still masterbates... That hurts. I mean if we had a normal sex life and he still masterbated I would think nothing of it but when we dont have sex and he does... It really really hurts. How can I not take that personal?

Jusagirl,

omg! Your story sounds like mine. My fella was texting one of my friends and phoning her, I found out a year later and it broke my heart..It went on for about a year. I dont think they did anything but I know the texts got a bit raunchy. When I first met him he was the best...Tall, dark, handsome and my best friend! We were together for 4 years and in the last year he changed, sex was cr*p, he lied about finances and he was texting my friend! Out of all the cr*p he put me through the texts hurt the most. It made me feel sick to my stomach, even though he didnt do anything with this girl, the intention was there and that was enough for me to end the relationship. Once the trust is gone its gone. I may have taken it too seriously but i'm not prepared to be taken the mikey out of, there will be someone out there who will treat me like a princess!
I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I really feel for you, when I found out I cried so hard my eyes swelled up and I looked like i'd been beaten up!!!!!!!!!
I'm the same as you, highly charged in the bedroom department. My fella was a bit older than me and I dont know if age was the issue and he wasnt in his 'peak' or because he was getting it else where...Or just simply wasnt interested in me anymore. Towards the end he wouldnt hug me or kiss me...Only when he wanted sex, so it made me feel like sh*t!
I'm a firm believer now that guys are just on another 'wave length' to women, I think they are sexually programmed to flirt with the opposite sex, I dont think its their fault...I blame it on mr pinky!!!!! (**sorry to all the guys out there who are nice and dont cheat..If thats u drop me a line coz their aint many out there!**)

good luck I hope you work it out!

P.S. Being single is sooooooo much fun!!!!! X

I have been with the same guy for a year and 3 months. Then in march we broke up. He went his way and I went mine. I dated this guy named jojo and had sex with him multiple times and after jojo, bruce came along and I had sex with him once. While I was out doing my think, he was with some nasty chick. It worries me because we are back together now, and I don't feel like having sex with him, just because of the fact that he was with that girl. I'm thinking maybe I should get back with jojo because he treated me good. Maybe you should go and find someone new. I know that sex is a big part in a relationship. A woman wants to be loved and cared for and the best thing a man can do is treat you right and prove it to you. :o

Courage
You already know what to do don't you?
You just need to summon enough courage to do it...
You will be proud of yourself later if you take action to do the right thing for your happiness now

I Know How You Feel
Trust me I know how you feel I have been with my husband for 4 years married almost 2 and we don't have sex hardly at all. Im lucky if its once a month. The sad part is, is that he is 26 and I am 22. Theres something defiantly wrong with this picture right? It all started after we got married when we were dating it was awsome. Almost everyday now its maybe once a month. We have had a lot of other problems these last few months and this whole no sex thing just tops it all!! I don't know how much more I can handle. We have talked and talked about it and its always some excuse like im tired (thats usually the excuse), i've got a headache or my stomach hurts!! Okay that cant be the case all the time right? I've asked him if he's cheating and he swears up and down that he isn't and that he never would cuz he's had that done to him before and he knows how it feels. I don't think he is but what else could it be? I mean hes 26 for gods sake. He takes our wedding vows very seriously, but I don't know how much more I can handle. What do all of you think I should do?

Im a male and ill tell u exactly what you should do, dont think he is sleeping with someone else, reason..

He will be pressured and not annoyed with it, pushing him futher away from you

if you are *offering* sex its just not that fun when youve been together that long, try n look gd, get a spray tan, new outfit, show it to him but do not instigate sex, tease him, its natural for people to want what they cant have,
if he get up n gives u a kiss and trys summit push him away n look sexy, get him relay frustrated until he cant go with out it, trust me it will work, mabye not for a month or so,

basically
do not speak about it.
Look sexy but dont show what you trying to achieve
reject! Yes reject him.
Create compition, talk to other men in front of him, flirt a little, this will make him mad but make him want you more,
human nature to want what you cant have.

Trust me ive been thru this, my girl played me right, yup my sex drive went from around 3 to a 10 in like a month, really follw them rules and trust me he will be at ur feet
