Lack of InterestTue, Feb 29th 2000My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half. For the first few months of our relationship, he couldn't seem to get enough of me, he was quite affectionate (though not publicly) and our sex life was great. After 3 months or so, he lost interest in me, and has ever since. Our relationship is an emotional one, and we love each other very much, but he doesn't seem to understand the importance of sex in a relationship. To him, I think he finds it annoying and distracting. This is making me feel unimportant, and now he's refusing to kiss me or hug me, turns away from me in bed. I've done everything I can think of, from quiet seduction to blatant invitations; and sometimes he'll respond, but drops it half a minute later. He is friends with many females, and gives them more attention than me, though not sexual. Am I wasting my time by staying with him? I've tried to talk to him about it, and he say's it's his fault, but nothing ever gets done about it...
