Should You Leave A Partner That Doesn’t Want To Have Sex With You?
It all depends on one thing.
Once upon of time, it was believed that all sexually mature individuals wanted and needed sex. This is not the truth any more. For some people, sex is irrelevant, they don’t want it, and they don’t need it. But asexuality is not the main reason that people end up in sexless relationships.
One of the reasons that my marriage ended was because of sex. Actually, the lack of sex. I learned my lesson. In my case, I should have left my partner that didn’t want to have sex with me. I did the right thing.
For most people being in a romantic relationship means having sex, and if the couple is not having sex, this should be communicated and aligned before the start of the relationship to make sure that the couple is on the same page.
As long as the two people in the relationship know why they are not having sex and agree with this decision, all is good. The problem is that when you are in a romantic relationship assuming you are going to have sex, and you don’t have it.
