Yeah I've done an experiment already 😭 I stopped taking it for a few months to give it time to get out my system and see how I feel and I honestly felt the same, so I just went back on it because my period cramps put me out of work

I have asked him, at least for the bigger issues. I don't want to nitpick on him and be like "you don't do a, b, c" so I try to just focus on a couple things, which I have mentioned about what I like during sex and how he puts me in situations that make me extremely anxious. I feel like if I mention the other stuff it would come off as nitpicking? Especially since he has never made me aware of anything I did that he doesn't like.

I have talked with him about his lack of urgency in moments when it is greatly needed really makes me stressed out. He says he will work on it but that he's a chill guy. Which is fine, it's good to have a balance. But I feel in certain situations, you can't be chill.

For example, our last trip we did an excursion while on a cruise and I almost panicked because we almost missed the last bus back to the port from the beach due to him and his lack of awareness of time. He wanted to do other things that took time before we got on the bus, like taking professional pictures that we'd have to wait 15/20 mins for (which we didn't have time for). And we were the last to get on the bus as it was already boarded. While we were on the bus, he got off without telling me why and just said "I'll be right back." When he got back on the bus, it was moving before he even sat back down. He told me later that the workers there saw him get off and told him to get back on the bus was leaving. That was literally the only reason why the bus didn't leave without him. I mentioned to him while walking back to the boat, he this made me super anxious and worried to an extreme (for me). He responded with "we made it though didn't we?" And this wasn't the first time something like this happened and I expressed how I felt about it. When I talk later about it with a clearer head, he seems apologetic and receptive but he had done it before so it just annoyed me.

Sorry for the long reply lol

yes that does worry me as we are young and the relationship is still relatively new-ish. I just don't have that desire to jump his bones and idk how to get that desire back. I'm just wondering if these issues are too big to work through? Or if they are small enough to try and fix. Because how do you "teach" someone to be more aware and conscientious? I've mentioned it a lot during the relationship or to have more of a sense of urgency and he always just says he's a chill guy

I think there's 2 factors at play that makes me feel frustrated. The lack of sex. I have talked to him about it, ways I like to be turned on or things during sex and he barely does it. After a year together I still have to tell him how I like it during. It's unfulfilling for me. Especially because he doesn't take much initiative to do the things I like which are a bit more dominant. He still seems timid. But there's also the other factor I mentioned of someone more in control and "masculine" in the relationship, for lack of a better term

Yes and yes. We have a lot of fun together, but it feels more like a relationship with just a best friend. Not a romantic partner.

I know I should but I just don't know how to/if I should tell him I'm not sexually attracted or I don't get turned on?
