Well here goes... recently my relationship with my boyfriend has changed dramatically! Yes, relationships do change over time, but what I mean by that is he's gone from a complete sex maniac to having practically no contact of that nature at all now.

These days he is constantly up the pub and anything I say seems to bug him! Our relationship to begin with was such a loving one!  We were always out and about wouldn't go anywhere without each other!  Everywhere I went he went and vice versa!

But now we hardly go anywhere with each other and if we do then I have to get an invite first.  Instead of just going out I actually need to be invited these days, because if he doesn't invite me and I go out anyway there’s always a big argument and it’s a case of "no one even invited you out."

A couple kissing

It’s breaking my heart to even think that he could be cheating on me or even up to something that’s dodgy!  I just feel absolutely useless and helpless sometimes!  Every time I try to talk about this to him he always says "Aw, not this again" and walks away!

I don’t know if anyone out there knows the answer or wants to try and help me solve this problem, but all is welcome thanks x

To the original poster: I know how it must hurt for him to say what he does and walk out. I would stop saying anything to him and I'd find a new friend who treated you with respect and cared about your feelings. You don't have to have anything other than a respectable, platonic relationship with the new friend. This can be someone who is willing to understand you and be nice to you and be on your side--someone to go out with, have lunch with, etc. This will make a world of difference in how you feel. Lots of love and luck to you and wishing you the best!

Hi. First of all, your story's too close to a lot of us. It's tough when it comes down to this but to me, the bell's definitely ringing..the bells of change that is. You have to put on your seatbelts & accept reality when it stares you in the eye. My niece & her husband, both psychiatrists, maintain that "once a cheater, always a cheater". I'm not saying your boyfriend is one, he may not be but this can be a start of sorts because he sure does manifest "the moves". You can keep trying (& waste time), but in my opinion, girl, love yourself little more & just move on. There are better ones out there. The hurt is just temporary. Good Luck!

oh my...this sounds exactly like what I have been enduring for the past 2 years. our relationship was exactly the same, we were so close, we did everything together, he confided in only me, he would turn his friends down for me...we were just an insanely inlove couple for years...then things changed. a couple years a go I got really sick...i think I started noticing how unsopportive he was then and noticed that everything was cool as long as I was the one compremising. well that seems to be the go now a days. for many months leading up to a couple of months ago I tried talking to him, I wrote him letters and asked him straight out what was going on...but to no avail. all I coped was a mouthful of inconsiderate verbal abuse. he would turn things arounf to make it all about me, make it like I was the one with the problem, not him. I kept persisting ...when I finally asked why we hardly ever had sex anymore... ..basically...i ended up coping more insults, verbal abuse, name calling, finger pointing...all to take the attention of of him. I eventually found out he was up to no good... he was cheating on me... and now 5 months later I am still getting his temper and disrespect. I truly believe he has fallen out of love with me, I have tried really hard to fix things, but it seems like a one way street., with me doing all the work and him running away.. and yes I get the same comment "oh no, not the S**t again". very nasty and hurful as I am usually crying and hurt about his actions. he just has no care in the world for me now...and that is why I am now leaving him. a man is meant to be there for his women, respect her, protect her, desire only her, confide in her and talk to her... if any man is not valuing his relationship by talking things through, then in turn he does not respect his women!

It doesn't matter if he's cheating or not.
You're NOT HAPPY!
You have tried talking to him and he walks away.
That's a clear sign that he's not emotionally invested in the relationship.
When someone loves you they want to know what they can do to make you happy.
It's time for you to move on to a man who will love and appreciate being around you.
Time heals all wounds and bad experiences make you smarter.

My girlfriend of three years and I have virtually no sex life (usually 2-3 times a year on average), due to a medical condition sex is extremely painful for her and multiple doctors have said that short of expensive surgery that may or may not work, nothing can really be done about it. Unfortunately the pain has turned her off to almost all forms of physical intimacy, she has no sexual desires whatsoever and usually leaves me to deal with mine with the help of Playboy or the internet.

My friends and family all think I should leave her because of this. I won't, I love her more and more every day, and I have not a doubt in my mind that she's the person I want to wake up next to each morning for the rest of my life, and have a home and family with. I can see where they're coming from: we're both 23 and cuddling is about the only physical contact we ever have and that in their opinion is not normal. Don't get me wrong, it is VERY frustrating not being able to have any real intimate contact with the woman I love, and its even more frustrating that it really isn't her fault and the situation is likely never going to change. I've accepted it for what it is, and just wish my family and friends would get off my case about it.

I found out recently that my so called devoted husband has been cheating with slappers even before our marriage. It was a shock as I trusted him all these years. Now I just don't know what to do. All the memories I once treasured mean nothing now. I think I'm heading for a breakdown. I never knew he was such a sleaze.

There's no such thing as love anymore not with the internet.

"We’re a leading women’s weekly ...........

Not very plausible.

A bit like these Niggerian scams where the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Nigeria writes from a Yahoo.com email address!

Have you moved in with someone too quickly?

Was it not long after meeting them?

Did it ruin your relationship?

If the answer to the above questions is yes,yes,yes, then we want to hear from you.

We’re a leading women’s weekly looking for people who’ve moved in with their partner within a week or so of meeting, but later found that the relationship was doomed.

You’ll be willing to share your experiences and explain why the relationship didn’t work out, and in return you’ll be rewarded for your time.

So if you or any of your friends have taken the plunge with a new partner and it’s turned sour, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email a brief outline of your story, a contact telephone number and a photo of you and your ex to:

rebekah.scanlan@gmail.com

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
