The spirit is willing but the bodies are weak.

What do you do in a relationship besides grieve and carry on when one person is no longer interested or capable of physical intimacy.

There’s more to a relationship than that stuff anyway, my girlf and me don’t ever do anything like that and we have the best time together.

It depends on why they aren't capable. That is a very important factor

@Tastyfrzz Ok I understand. She is done with the sex part of life and she is happy. That is hard. Perhaps you should consider getting it from someone else but I know that this can be a whole other problem and maybe very difficult for you because you want with her.
I advise total honesty with no expectation of her.


Tell her of your deep love for no one but her yet you aren't ready to give up physical intimacy.
Tell her that the worst thing would be someone who is not her but also tell her that you can't enjoy relationship without it and then just ask her what she thinks about what you have said.

@REMsleep Not married but I'm not about to get into a mess or the expense and risk of another relationship or an escort service. Not sure what to do.

@Tastyfrzz If your girlfriend agrees then maybe seek another woman in your situation. If your girlfriend doesn't agree then you unfortunately would have to end the relationship in order to be fulfilled. At the end of the day there are many people in your shoes. Maybe seek to speak with some of them. Each of us has to decide what we are willing to deal with.
I am married and my husband is lazy and always has been. I have no desire to get into the details but his laziness is such that it is very offensive and selfish yet I decide to stay. So I made my decision and then I have to deal with it. I still meantion changes that I want from him from time to time ( or he will get even worse) but I took the stance that I don't really expect a miracle change from him anymore. ( maybe you can never again expect regular sex)

So maybe if you insist on staying then you have to change your mindset like I did. I still get angry when he ignores basic needs to lay around or sees me struggling and doesn't help but I have also been surprised by random acts of help from him because I let up with my fussing and moping and just anger. ( Its not enough but my peace is better)
