      It does sound as if neither of you is listening to the other. Stop arguing and have conversations. Learning about each other can be a lifelong adventure. If you don't find each other interesting, why are you together?

      It depends on what your whole relationship is like. Is he still attracted to you? What are the other things in your relationship that have kept you together for this long?

      Could you talk to him about this? It might be that he is tired, or depressed, or has a medical problem, if he doesn't know why he doesn't want sex it would be good for him to talk to his GP. Of course it is possible there is someone else, you really need to talk to him and find out what is going on for him. Hope things improve for you.

      Whoever took the mortgage out is responsible for the payments - so if you took out a joint mortgage you are jointly responsible. If it is in the name of one or the other of you then that individual is responsible. If you need to get your partner off the mortage, you need to talk to the Building Society or wherever you got the mortgage from, probably also to a Solicitor to get some advice.

      I am not sure whether you are not sure if you have moved on from past cheating on him, or whether you have not moved on from his false accustion of you cheating on him? Or perhaps you are not sure whether this is the guy for you? Doubts are good things, aren't they? They make you stop and think.

      I am not sure whether you are doubtful if you have moved on from past cheating on your partner or whether you are not sure you can move on from his false accusation to you of cheating on him? Perhaps you are just not sure if he is the right guy for you? Doubts are good, aren't they. It makes you stop and think?

      The only thing I can think of is that she was being sarcastic if she though that she had already been trying to fix things with you. But I suppose that conjecture is pretty pointless until she can bring herself to begin a calm and rational dialogue with you. Good luck with this.

        New dawn New day New life
        And i`m feeling good.
        Today I have cut of my lines of communication with my ex. I have blocked her from emailing,calling and soon I will be looking to move so as she does`nt feel the need to come around when she wants and I no longer feel the need to contact her. It`s feels the right thing to do

      It does sound irrational, doesn't it? I hope you asked her what she meant? The only thing I can think of is that she was being sarcasatic - perhaps she has been trying to fix things with you for some time? Only you would know if that suggestion had any merit. I suppose conjecture here is pretty pointless and I do hope you get some calm, rational dialogue with her. Good luck.

        Over the last few daays since my ex went away I have had time to myself to have a think about myself and how i`m feeling and though you said that you hoped I would get some calm and rational dialouge I have come to the conclusion that there is no point to it as I just don`t believe that it will get anyone anywhere.
        I have been keeping a daily diary and here are some of the things that are/ were on my mind.

        Most of my time and thoughts in the past was dedicated to making my love life work with my ex. Now I feel I was wrong for wanting that ,mostly because of how things have ended up. When you look back and see all the strain and upset that it`s caused on both sides you start to think "was it all worth it" and was "she/he worth it" and the answer is a big NO. None of the fighting and all of the crying just was`nt worth the trouble and it`s left me with an empty feeling,but on the otherside it`s also made me see that I want a real relationship with someone who wants to let me in and take part/care and not just saying it because thats what your meant to say but supposed to do,I don`t want to be with someone who is emotionally crippled and who constantly struggles to let go of their inner self so as not to let others in and see a vunrable side to them.I want to be able to say how I feel about a person without being made to feel that what I say is always wrong ,I need to know that when i`m wrong that i`m not going to be a figure of public hate just to make someone else feel better about themself in the eyes of others,I want acknowledgemnt from the one I love that" we are equal" in the relationship and that we are together for the" right reasons". I don`t want to spend my time when i`m on my own without that person thinking that i`m better of alone than with them,whats the point in that?
        For ages now everytime when my ex was not staying at my house or we wern`t having sex I would sleep on my sofa although this left me uncomfortable and left with a sense of loneliness quite often and increasingly did the same when she was around .

        I no longer feet lonley but "void" but now after having this space to vent how I feel about whats on my mind, it`s had an effect that has lightened and lifted me from my own self doubt,
        I now go to my bed and sleep and feel better about being me and in the knowledge that I no longer need to tourture myself over someone who plainly isn`t worth caring over and does`nt see my pain.

        I am sick of saying "I understand" then being battered emotionally only to be told told that I don`t understand" constantly". Well maybe in a way she was right because most of the time I could`nt understand because I did`nt know. And that was a lot of the problem and I was left and felt helpless to do anything and was`nt allowed to try either.

        I don`t think I will and have given up the fight . I see her now as my ex and am going to have little or no contact with althugh she is in the same circle of friends as me so it will be difficult.

      How distressing for you - looks like you're going to have to wait this one out. It's not easy though is it? You tried txting and she doesn't respond. I wonder if you could just send a brief txt explaining how you feel - or what you want to hear from her. Is she OK? Does she want time? Or whatever message you wish to send. I suppose if you just let her know that you're concerned for her and ask her to contact when she's ready that might be all you can do for now. Could you manage that or would it be too hard?
