foolsinlove Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I used to be able to really make love the way you see it on romantic movies. I used to look at my bf's eyes deeply and kiss him passionately and so on. I would really give him my all, all of myself. Over the last year or so, I can not do it anymore. I keep my eyes closed all the time. I'm not even comfortable with kissing anymore. Sex became more of a physical activity then something like soul connection and intimate love making. Everything is fine otherwise in my relationship, nothing has changed. I am content. My bf is not complaining about anything. I doubt he even noticed it. But I feel big change in me in sex area. I don't know should I be concerned. What could this mean? How can I figure out what happened to me that I became so cold and mechanical in sex, psychological distant, not allowing myself to feel emotions during sex, but being on guard? I can only let go physically. It really feels weird to me. It isn't me. I miss it. Is it healthy and normal to have just sex with no heart in it with the person you love? Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 When there is this much stress outside of the sexual/romantic relationship, resentment builds and you start just going through the motions. This is not about romance movies or closed eyes, it's about unaddressed issues in the overall satisfaction in the relationship. Work on that aspect. Reflect and consider how happy you really are. My advice remains the same: https://www.enotalone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=549835&p=6990351&viewfull=1#post6990351My boyfriend and me are not living together. He sometimes hangs out at my place. I clean after him when he leaves mess after he goes away. But once he pointed out my dishes are not washed right. He even talked about that to our mutual friends when we were all hanging out. I thought it was rude. I thought if it bothered him so much, he could have washed the dishes himself, since he doesn't clean anyhing in my place anyway. When I told him that, he didn't understand why I'm mad and said he didn't do nothing wrong. He thought I'm making a big deal out of nothing. I told him I dislike being criticized and treated that way. I don't act that way towards him. This really turned out to be ugly and I rejected his calls and didn't bother to explain to him anymore. When I did answer, he was mad and didn't apologise as I expected, but he said he'll try better. Link to comment
foolsinlove Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Please, that is from over a year and a half ago. We worked on our issues. We don't argue anymore. Like I said, everything is fine now for a long time. I do not resent him. Link to comment

Like I said, everything is fine now for a long time. I do not resent him. Well, I'd say that subconsciously, you probably do resent him. It seems once the honeymoon period ended, you lost any passion you had for him... or is it the emotional connection you had with him? What do you think? Does he clean up after himself now or are you just thinking that you don't resent that he doesn't clean up after himself? As for your question. New relationship energy never, ever remains throughout the course of any long term relationship so if the two of you aren't doing anything together outside of the bedroom to keep your passion going, then you're not going to have passion in the bedroom. Does he make you orgasm during your love making? Link to comment

I really don't know what is the cause. Link to comment

Do you still want to have sex with him or are you just doing it because he insists? Keeping your eyes closed in itself during sex is quite common and not a detriment to you or him. If you are pleasing him and you are enjoying your O's then what is wrong with any of it, really? Link to comment

Now I don't anymore at all. That's a big change for me. I just don't like feeling that way, not being present completely. Something is just off. I know it's not a big issue, but it is for me. I can't fix it, if I don't know why. Link to comment

foolsinlove Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 How many relationships have you been in where your "expression of love" falls into this negative state for you? Almost all of them after some time, but that was not the reason for breakups. Maybe I'm just out of love? Maybe it's normal in LTR? Link to comment
Wiseman2 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This was my point about the relationship as a whole eroding and not the sexual passion per se. Maybe I'm just out of love? Link to comment
LaHermes Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 "Is it healthy and normal to have just sex with no heart in it with the person you love?" Quick answer is no. "Maybe I'm just out of love? " So, either you love him or you do not. Is there some reason, you think, that your affect might be flattened? Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Almost all of them after some time, but that was not the reason for breakups. Maybe I'm just out of love? Maybe it's normal in LTR? Like I said, the passion and love and lust (also known as "new relationship energy") will never keep going for the duration of any long term relationship. That lust/passion organically wanes and your bonding becomes a more mature and calmer version of its former self. So: If you are expecting that which you had in the beginning to be there and like that forever, then it's no wonder ALL of your relationships have led you to the same conclusion after a time. I suggest you quit showing your love through sex and expecting the same from your partner and you may find a LIFEmate that you are happy with even when you can no longer open your eyes when you find yourselves wrapped around one another. I don't think you're "just out of love" I think you just don't know what real love actually is. What was the name of that group that sung "Don't Confuse My Lust For Love?" Link to comment
Honeycomb8 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If he's still being lazy and unreasonable, it's no wonder you're going resentful and it's coming out in other ways. Link to comment
