Today, it's the five year anniversary of the day I broke up with my girlfriend to see other people. I've not had sex a single time since. FML

Getting laid shouldn't be how you define seeing other people. Relationships aren't all about sex.

I'm sure the OP also broke up with his girlfriend because he felt she wasn't the one for him. It's better than him settling and wasting anymore of her time just to get laid.

Better than him cheating, right? If he was happy being with his girlfriend, he wouldn't have wanted to see other people.

There are plenty of guys who want to see other people, even though they like their current gf. They just think they can get better, or a better match, at least. But no match is ever perfect, and maybe that's why they broke up.

13: The point if breaking up is always to see other people (because you think anybody could be better than the one you're with).

Seems you will still have sex with just the same people: right hand and left hand!

It says a lot about you that sex is what you miss the most, OP. Not the emotional bonding that comes with a loving relationship, the conversation, mutual affection, having someone to curl up with, oh no, just the sex. I'm assuming what you mean when you say that you 'broke up with my girlfriend to see other people' you actually mean 'broke up with my girlfriend so I can sleep with someone new and exciting,' and now you're disappointed because you can't find someone who wants to have intercourse with you. It's been five years since you broke up with that girl, and in five years you have not been able to mature past your penis? YDI.

15- Great point! I do think OP deserved it as well because even though we don't have many details, I too gathered sex being the main thing on OP's mind.

Maybe the reason sex is all he misses about his old relationship is because that's all there was too it?

I always thought it was weird to break up with someone so you can go have sex with other people. Who says those other people want to have sex with you? Besides, sex isn't everything in a relationship.

Why all the YDIs? The OP ended a relationship that clearly wasn't working for him. If that's not the mature, sensible way to handle a situation like this, what is? Would you prefer he'd spent the past five years faking it to avoid hurting the girl's feelings? Would that be fair to her? As for the lack of sex, well, that's just unfortunate.

He broke up with her to 'see other people'. In my eyes, that means dating other people because he might find someone better, or to not be tied down to one person. And since he's never had anyone else since, I voted YDI. If he liked the previous gf, he should've sticked to her, instead of thinking he could raise the bar.

If he broke up with her to see other people than he wasn't in love with her. If he wasn't in love with her, staying in the relationship would have been a bad plan. You don't know if he liked the previous girlfriend, so don't assume you know the situation.

He doesn't like her so he's still thinking about her after five years? And the tone of the whole FML is regret. He obviously liked her.

Who the hell keeps track when you break up? Who cares.

That's what prostitutes are for. Seems like the perfect life for you.
