We've talked about the lack of sex many times, and according to him, he's always been this way. He thinks it's because his parents had a very unphysical relationship, and his father in particular talked about sex like it was dirty.

My problem is, I've always been a very sexual person. In my opinion, sex is one of the things that separates a friendship from a relationship. Right now, we're just roommates who happen to sleep in the same bed. I'm still incredibly attracted to him, and laying next to him in bed is torture.

Each time we discuss this (about once a month) he says it's his problem, and he will work on it. He refuses to see a counselor and refuses to implement things MY therapist has suggested, like making time to cuddle. He says it feels too fake, so he won't even try.

Yes, there's always masturbation, but I'm getting really tired of that. I want to feel his arms around me again, but I don't think it's going to happen. We're just not compatible in that area. I'd settle for a couple times a month, even once a month, but given the length of time it's been and his unwillingness to do anything, I don't see it changing.

I'm laying on the bed crying right now, have been for the past hour. He's watching a movie in the living room. This is depressing.
