My Woman Says There Is No Passion In Our Relationship

My Woman Says There Is No Passion In Our Relationship
Posted By: Candace Williams on February 02, 2007


Dear Ms. HeartBeat:
My girlfriend and I have been together for 3-1/2
years now and the other night she told me that the hot attraction for me isn't there. The way she feels about me is like as a good friend.

We do love one another and this is the girl I want to share my life with forever. How can I move from the good friend position to the boyfriend spot and kindle a flame within her for meand just be happy together?

Please do help me. This is my last chance at a lasting relationship.

Yours Truly,
Sam

Dear Sam:
Its not your last chance dude. I know you think that now, but believe me, it isn't. Every relationship is not meant to last forever. And since a "hot" relationship takes two people to make it work, you wanting it is not enough.



The romantic feelings that she had have faded into comfortable familiarity which sometimes happens between a couple. Then all they have is dependence as each is too afraid to let go and move on to what COULD be, too stuck on keeping what they have now that isn't working.

Both of you deserve to have not just love but passion and desire in your life. It makes it great to come home to and gives you a reason to work through fights and disagreements. Its hard to accept right now but if you really think about it, you will come to see that her honesty has freed you to find the love and passion that you deserve to have.

Give her a kiss goodbye and tell her that its been a great 3.5 years; that you hope she finds the love she is looking for; that you wish her the best and will always remember the times you shared. Then let her go.
