Is there any difference between a sexual and intimate relationship in terms of how a guy treat his girlfriend?

I have an intimate but not sexual relationship with my boyfriend of three years. This is because I want to wait until I鈥檓 married before I make that step. The problem is that he does not treat me the way I deserve to be treated most of the time or at least I think so. This has been his behavior from the inception of our relationship.



He forgets most of the special occasions; he is always working and rarely does anything special. When he comes to see me he is nice but seem to be out of it most of the time. He hardly calls me and when he does its for short periods. We don鈥檛 go anywhere unless I request to do so and I suppose that comes to the positives.



If I ask him for anything he will try his utmost to get it. He is always polite and nice and never tries to make me feel uncomfortable. If I don鈥檛 like something he just doesn鈥檛 do it.



My question: Is he behaving this way because we have a non-sexual relationship? Is it because he has someone else? Is it that he does not think I good enough? What do you think the reason may be?



Can you guys be brutally honest with me on this one? I really need to know.Is there any difference between a sexual and intimate relationship in terms of how a guy treat his girlfriend?
IF YOU'VE NOT HAD SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS OF YOUR DATE,HE MAY BE SEEING SOMEONE ELSE.BUT I THINK HE IS A NICE GUY, IF HE DOSENT INSIST ON HAVING SEX WITH YOU.DONT SAY HE IS NOT TREATING YOU THE WAY YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED, DONT ASSUME HE OUGHT TO KNOW, TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT,HE WILL TRY AS ALWAYS TO DO IT FOR YOU. MEN ARE NOT SO EMOTIONAL, DONT EXPECT HIM TO BE DANCING AROUND YOU. MEANWHILE,KEEP SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP OUT UNTIL YOU SAY ''I DO''. GOOD LUCK.Is there any difference between a sexual and intimate relationship in terms of how a guy treat his girlfriend?
there is a lot of difference between sexual and intimate relationships, but i dont think his behavior has anything to with either. His behavior is most likely based on his character, and if you have issues with his behavior now, your issues will only increase.
i really think that ur bf is going for the long haul in terms of how he treats u in ur realtionship... it seems to me that u two are past the totally 'infatuated with each other' stage and that you ae pretty mature as a couple...NO i dont think he has somebody else...i think he just is respecting the boundaries you've set for him as far as intimately...some guys are not exactly experts in the romance department...my bf forgets special dates, occasions, anniversaries...etc. its just who he is...i feel that in your case it doesnt have anything to do with if you have sex or anything... its just who he is...dont worry too much about it, but if it bothers you that badly...talk to him about it...that you want HIM to remember things...or to make the plans for once, or even just to spend more time with you. If he really loves and respects you, he'll understand and try to change, just remember that there are limitations as to how much a person can change for someone else...its definitely not you he seems to be really happy being with you...but he doesn't know how to show it...



Good luck!! %26lt;3
