When Intimacy Fades: Can Love Survive Without It? 💔

Hey there, I never thought I’d be the one asking for advice about my own relationship, but here I am. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years, living together for four, and honestly, it feels like we’re just roommates lately. We used to be all about cuddles, kisses, and late-night talks, but after he went through a tough time with his mental health and started new medication, things changed. His sex drive disappeared, and suddenly, intimacy became this awkward, tiptoed-around topic. I tried to be understanding—love is more than just sex, right? But as time went on, the romance faded, and I started to wonder if we were just coexisting. We both got caught up in work, anxiety, and just… life. Now, he says he wants to try again—gym dates, candlelit dinners, the whole nine yards. But I’m scared. What if it’s too late? What if I’m the only one who still wants that spark? Has anyone else felt like this? I could really use some honest advice. 😔 #relationshipadvice #intimacyissues #emotionalstruggles #couplescounseling #RomanticRelationships
