who would?

stay in a sexless relationship. I feel like a real bitch even
contemplating this. There are many other things going on that if they
were ideal I wouldn't even think about ditching over that. But it's 8
months going and now due to several reasons, sex is out when it was a
strong point. If I go, it will be for many more reasons than just
that, but, it's hard dealing with this too.

I'm a bitch, so I've been called many times in my life.

if you are bitch, then maybe you have to be one. i'm an asshole, so we'd
get along great.

you should hold out sex and loving until your partner *earns* it. don't
give it away for free.

i respect women who don't give it up on the first date.

i get it by the 2nd date, or i never get it at all, and it fizzles out, lol.

Packrat,

you are the master of giving good replies to short questions. i read every
word.

i don't know what to say. i am not an expert at relationships, in fact, i'm
the opposite. all of mine fail for whatever reason, and i usually don't
care much, except it's kind of lonely drinking beer and playing video games.

i'm probably better off alone than with a woman.

anyway this is about you. you will have to have a big discussion with him.
you are going to have to vent these feelings. he might get pissy with you,
but keep on telling him everything, and if he won't listen to the full
thing, then dump him.

good luck!

maybe try couples counseling. it ended my engagement, but it was meant to
end anyway. counseling just sped up the process.

my relationship was a bad thing (albeit my most passionate one so far), and
the counselor pretty much said end it to my fiancee, and i am much happier
without her.

Not to justify the times when I really am a bitch....which I am. Other
times, I'm just standing up for myself, but feel like a bitch because
it pisses the other person off because I'm standing up for myself
instead of just taking whatever shit that's going on.

That being said, I plan on keeping your reply. I've learned to
apologize when the bitch in me comes out unfairly. But there are many
times what you wrote is really true.

Thank you. I love how you word things.

I completely agree with the above. My dad called me a bitch for years,
basically whenever I had an opinion I felt strongly about. He still
does occasionally, and strangely, it still takes me by surprise when
he does it because I am NOT a bitch; it's simply not true.
Apparently,
I was also lazy and selfish. It took years to undo the damage,
and actually I think it's still in process. I get mad even typing this
- calling
people such strong names and generalizing like that is cruel.

No one has the right to talk to you like that. Straighten them out (if
you
MUST associate with them, i.e. co-workers, family) or distance
yourself from people who do this however you can.

I have read your posts today and I hope you sort things out one way
or the other. Does this person enrich your life? Make you happy?
Because regardless of whether people think you are a "bitch" or in
any other way lacking, you deserve happiness. Please take care
of yourself.
