Lack of intimacy in relationship is killing me
I have talked to my girlfriend about how important sex is to me… multiple times, nicely and politely. I have been very patient with her and very patient waiting. I have held my composure for so long. Again I bring this issue up to her even more direct and even more serious. Sounds like she’s listening and finally acknowledging but still lack of Intimacy and it’s really starting to sexually frustrate me to the point where I feel so much physical pain in my chest and stomach. My mind is racing. Im laying in bed next to her and I pretend everything is fine but inside I’m literally on fire. I hate porn but that’s the only damn thing I could do for a release but it’s not the same as real intimacy. Porn could be addictive and numbing too but I don’t want to go out and cheat and I don’t have it in me to go do that, so I’m in this dilemma that really is making so sexually frustrated that my entire mood is changing for worse, I’m a lot more agitated and aggressive than normal. Im losing sleep I have so much emotion inside and I can’t even cry it out or even let off steam. I feel drained from the inside I keep telling myself to let it go. Let it go, talk about it tomorrow again for god knows how many times but I can’t shake this feeling off of me. It’s 2 in the morning and this is probably the third night in a row where my sleep quality has been trash and so wide awake. I can’t even play games to drift my mind away from this because everyone is sleeping and now I’m wide awake stressing over this.
