Hi,

I am in a same sex relationship (female) with a friend who has a hard time accepting her own sexuality due to her beliefs in Christianity.

I accept this and we are friends now. We have not been sexual since 2012.

HOWEVER - (clearing my throat and nervously giggling)

We still KISS - we still very rarely sleep and cuddle and snuggle. (no sex) but lots of touching.

And - after three years ... when I attempt to communicate with this person about, where do want this relationship to go? (or what can we anticipate from this relationship?) I get shrugged shoulders, and i don't know type of answers.

But, this person, wants to be super close to me... (without sex) and wants to speak with me almost every day. (as do i)

But honestly, after three years of this... I am thinking of moving forward and breaking away. I am really not fulfilled with this relationship and think we would be better off just friends.

I have tried to break free - but this person reels me back in, with the cuddling, kissing etc. (especially when I express even remotely the need to start afresh and new)

Not sure how I can break free and keep it as just a friendship?

Thanks for feedback and sorry cuz I know I left out a bunch of stuff.

- Shiloh

I think that you are very wise in thinking that it is time for you to move on. Your friend has issues with her sexuality and until she faces them and understands those feelings she will not be able to have a fulfilling relationship with anyone.
