    I am almost 32 and my boyfriend is 6 1/2 years younger than me. We have been dating for 13 months and living together for 6 months. He has always let me think we’re going to be intamate but we never are. He won’t talk about it when I bring it up. He gets defensive or angry and quiet. I’m pretty sure theres something physically wrong with him and have reassured him that I love him no matter what, but i need him to talk to me about it. And our relationship is the same. We can’t talk about it at all. It leaves me extremely confused at times. How do i get him to open up and realize that a normal relationship has communication? I have to decide between a job I really enjoy that pays well, for a job closer to home, for him mainly… I would really appreciate some feedback.

    Why are you dating — and living with — a man who hasn’t wanted to have sex with you in 13 months? I’m not sure what here is confusing to you. I know you’re focusing on why he won’t communicate with you, but the better question is why you’re interested in this relationship at all. 😯

    I dont know if other people are supposed to reply here, but I dont agree with this responce. Sex isnt everything, and there could be a handful of things he is insecure about, and he will open up in time. Like for instance maybe he is religious, or is a virgin, or is afraid cause your are older, there are tons of reasons. It is actually a good thing that you have discovered that you have trouble communicating before having sex. Just let him know that you know he must have a good reason and you are there to talk when he is ready. Sex is great, but it complicates things, especially when someone isnt ready. If he loves you, be greatful you dont have a douchebag who only wants sex. Just be patient 🙂

    What an interesting response! 😀

    The problem with waiting for him to finally tell her why he hasn’t had sex with her in over a year of dating and six months of living together, or for her being patient (more than she has), is that at age 32, when most women are thinking about a marriage, having children and a commitment that will last, [b]cariboomedic[/b] has possibly wasted a lot of time with someone who takes a year to discuss what is normally discussed in the first few months. This isn’t about virginity or having sex. It’s about knowing who and what you want in a relationship.

    Clearly, [b]cariboomedic[/b] is writing because she thinks she’s in the “weirdest relationship ever” and she can’t get her live in boyfriend to tell her why he won’t have sex with her. This isn’t normal. If it was important to him not to have sex until marriage or some later date, then it would be right for him to tell her. If he has a medical problem, then it would be right for him to tell her.

    Yes, sex does complicate things — but it doesn’t have to, and not having it for over a year, at age 32, when you’re living with a man you’ve dated for over a year — and not knowing why your boyfriend won’t have it with you because he won’t tell you — is a lot more complicated than sex could be! 😳
