The reason I am here is my extreme anxiety. Lately, my anxiety has stemmed from my relationship. I have been in a stable relationship with my boyfriend for a little over a year. He is everything I have ever wanted. He is faithful, loving, and hilarious. We talk heavily about marriage and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I have never been happier in my life, but lately there has been intimacy issues. The issue is that he isn't interested in having any, at all. Now, I will say that there is an 11 year age difference between him and I. He is older. When we first started dating, we had no issue with this, whatsoever. If anything, it was too much. It was like he, all of the sudden, just didn't want anything to do with it. Of course, this makes me feel horrible. I feel like he is going to leave me at any moment, to find someone he actually wants. It makes me feel bad about my body. It makes me inadequate. All together, it's driving my self-esteem to the ground. To me, it isn't about the actual act, it's about me feeling like I am desirable enough to keep him. I have mentioned how I feel to him and he assures me that he loves me and that it doesn't have anything to do with me, but that doesn't make me feel any better about it. I love him more than anything in this world, but I feel absolutely awful about this all of the time. Besides this, our relationship is almost perfect. I just don't know what to do about this. I can't think about anything else. This is triggering my anxiety to an extreme.
