A weoman shared how she is living with her boyfriend but they rarely get intimate and their relationship feels more like a friendship
Here is the story
My bf and I (both 23) have been together for nearly 4 years. He’s my best friend in life and I’m absolutely comfortable with him. I’m most myself with him than with any other people and he makes me laugh genuinely.
But, one issue with our relationship is the lack of intimacy. We don’t have our own rooms at home thus we can’t even get to do things like cuddling or just staying at home and chilling with one another. We always go out to eat and that’s all we do. Honestly, it’s been frustrating me for a while and these feelings have been building up all the way till now.
And due to our busy schedules, we can only meet once or twice a week to eat go home after. To me, it feels more like a friendship than a relationship this way because intimacy is really important to me and I can’t really keep going on like this with him.
Staycation can’t be done too often as well because of his financial issues. He’s still a student while I work.
I feel so stuck and confused. I don’t see any solution to this. It feels like we’re compatible but due to our situations which can’t be changed, our relationship is this way unfortunately.
Is it silly of me to even think of this as an issue or is it a common thing actually? I need some thoughts please.
