Many folks have happy, rich, meaningful relationships without sex. Just because you couldn’t imagine it working for you, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work for others — and it may work for you some day, so never say never. (I bring this up because a friend spoke of another friend’s marriage suggesting they couldn’t possibly be happy because they sleep in separate rooms — so much judgment here.) . We put so much pressure on romantic relationships. We expect our partners to fulfill so many needs — from the practical to the emotional to the spiritual to the financial to the social to the sexual. . But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can find multiple sources of fulfillment. You can custom design your relationships to maximize love and minimize social pressure. . Now if you feel you’ve been forced into a sexless relationship, that may be another story. Perhaps you had a sexual relationship in the past and now your partner is no longer interested. This dynamic requires effort, honesty, ongoing conversations and a willingness to think outside the box. But you can make it work. I see it all the time. If you’re both willing to put in effort, there are many ways to navigate this dynamic. More in an upcoming post because my flight is taking off in 3-2-1...✈️
