Sometimes your bad relationship is what pushes away your partner and causes them to seek elsewhere what they are not getting from you.

The sexual situation between OP and GF is clearly dysfunctional.

I don't think there's another guy in the picture. Re-read the original post. I think she has feelings for the OP but has been seriously questioning his sincerity (and rightfully so). Basically, a test to see if he's only interested in sex. And things just keep going downhill because he's failing miserably.

That's my interpretation anyway.

I disagree - I think it is fine as long as the other party knows what they are getting into.

Staying in a bad relationship for sex on the other hand is terrible.

A forty-five minute back rub? LOL I.m sorry, but if she's in that much back pain she needs to see a doctor. WTH!
And you deserve a medal for your patience. Giving massages is boring that's why there are professionals.

Using someone for sex is a lousy thing to do. But, to me, the biggest issue here is what I touched on in post #48.


"Seems to me he's walking on a very thin line between consensual and non-consensual sex."

You said that already. People disagree.

This issue is more complicated than that.

Yes, and I made it clear I was repeating myself. It's something that the OP needs to understand.

Is it not consensual when someone consents to the action? All she would have to say is no or even nothing at all and nothing sexual would happen.

There’s a nuance here that poster isn’t addressing, and that’s the difference between wanting sex and wanting YOU.

Your GF consented to the act; that’s not even an issue . Even people in marriage crisis will still have sex, sometimes to check off a box and sometimes to just feel better. It’s YOU she’s rejecting, although it’s not clear why.
