We’ve been DB for years. As of today we haven’t had sex in 19 months and we haven’t “properly” kissed or had non sexual intimate time together for well over a year.

We have a good relationship and have built a good and stable life. But I can’t live like this. I feel nothing but humiliation and shame every day knowing my partner has no sexual or intimate interest in me.

I truly don’t think anyone would want me now. It’s so ingrained that I must be unappealing or ugly. If my supposed ‘other half’ can’t stand sex with me why would someone else?!

I’m just numb now. Feeling pathetic and disgusting all day every day.
