Today, my girlfriend thinks I'm sex-obsessed because of the number of times I've asked for it. I've asked exactly 3 times this year, one of which was on my birthday. She said no all 3 times. I'm usually too scared of her temper to even try. FML

So, is she a great cook, or good with money. Maybe she opens doors for your career? Why do you stay?

I’ve been on both sides of this in a relationship and both times I was scared to leave, but both times I was glad to go. Just leave, it’s best for both of you.

Wow, I am shocked and appalled by all the “it’s your fault, grow a pair and leave” comments. If this was a woman talking about her male partner, everyone would be a LOT kinder here, but because it’s a man in an abusive relationship with a woman, it’s apparently ok to victim shame. OP, you should never have to be afraid to communicate with your partner about something important, and regular intimacy is important. She is gaslighting you. You are not sex-obsessed. This sounds like a very unhealthy relationship for you. It’s not as easy to cut ties with a significant other as everyone on here suggests, but that might be best for you if she refuses to listen and take your needs seriously. If she won’t get counseling, get some yourself. It sounds like you need someone to talk to and give you advice.

Thank you for this comment, the other comments about growing a pair and it's his fault made me so mad.. It's seems to them it's totally okay to blame the victim of domestic abuse.. when that victim is male.

Time to move on. She is getting "it" from someone else. If she has a temper, things will only get worse. Buy now you two should have talked about the no sex issue.

In Nigeria, sex obsession would be going more than five times in one day. I said Day! five times a week is just regular. not to talk year. one year!!!??

Get a new girlfriend. You shouldn't have to be afraid of someone you're supposed to love.

Sex is important in a relationship. Maybe is time to separate. Just an opinion.

So why are you with her? Serious question. I couldn't be in a relationship with a guy if I was afraid to raise issues with him because I was scared of his temper. It doesn't sound healthy.

Time to grow a set and get rid of the g/f! She will make your life miserable!

If she’s making you feel that scared then you need all the help you can get to get out of that relationship safely. That’s incredibly unhealthy and I’m worried she’s going to do something physical to you. Good luck x

Been there. Ended up in divorce after 14 years. A good divorce and we are still friends. But if it doesnt work it just doesnt and there is no benefit in continuing. A good sign is that you are too scared to approach the topic. Relationships are based on trust. Without it, it wont last.
