    we cannot give you any constructive advice with so little info

    from the two lines you have given us, I'd say, move on and forget about her.

    it's the same as saying, 'I don't like my haircut, what should I do with it?' just not enough details.
    but would agree with Beruthiel, break up if it's no longer working.

    Fighting, not having sex, she's unsure - can you see yourselves together in 20 years? doesn't even sound like fun as a short term thing (as in short term from here forward, obviously there was the 3 years).

    Again, not enough info - there's probably a reason why ye're fighting which we don't know about and this could be solveable and everything'd be cushty.

    so little info......

    id say that your relationship has run its course, and is coming to an end, your feelings for her are strong, and hers were probably too, but over time things and people change, her feeling may not be as strong,

    she could be saying she isnt sure due to this , she wants it over(hence the fights, probably over nothing too am i right?) but just doesnt want to hurt you too much so says she isnt sure.

    best thing to do, is to sit down with her talk to her, and ask her about her feelings for you for your relationship, is it just a phase?, will it pass? dont fight over little things while talking about this stuff, at the end of the day you may love her, but you might have to love her so much youll have to let her go.

    maybe a break and in time ye might get back together, but it may just be over

    If the relationship has gotten to the point where yee just cuddle, you are arguing with each other / one gets moody with the other, and your sex life is next to non existant then im afraid yee have gone a step over the end of the line, speaking in terms of the relationship. the best thing to do is call it off and just agree to be friends, this provides yee both with a bit of free time to see how yee feel. who knows, maybe one or the other just feels cramped.

    anyways, thats my view on it.

    Why can't you have sex anymore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭Peace


    I have plenty of non sexual relationships with people... I tend to call them mates or friends.

    Non sexual with my girfriend would mean i'm dead.. which i am clearly not.

    I don't mean to be so cut and dry here, but it sounds like staying together now would just be postponing the inevitable break-up (a month? a year?)down the road.

    I've been through a very similiar situation, PM me for more if you feel comfortable.

    cant or wont have sex?
    That's the question. If it's a problem of sexual dysfunction, i.e. you'd like to have sex, and try, but it doesn't work, then consult a doctor.

    If you just don't feel like it anymore, and your girlfriend doesn't excite you, then it's over, break up.
