So I do love my girlfriend, but she’s not fulfilling my need for intimacy. The most intimate we get nowadays is holding hands and that’s just not enough. She won’t even kiss me anymore. She says that she still loves me but she doesn’t show it that much. She is supportive in my choices and there when I need her.

I’m not saying those aren’t enough but I need romance and the feeling of being desirable. I know it’s a bit selfish of me to think that it’s a requirement for ones partner to remain romantic. But she is becoming more like a good family member than my girlfriend.

I’ve been with her for almost two years now and despite me bringing up the issue numerous times it will only get better for a week or two before the old ways return.
