Quote:How important is sexual attraction in an otherwise healthy, loving, affectionate and fulfilling relationship?
Don't ask an internet forum for an answer to this question - only you can answer this, because:
- for some it's very important, for others not so much (so no one can tell you)
- Most have a number of things that are very important to them in a relationship, with different weightings they give to each (eg work ethic, socialness, attractiveness, compatibility, humour etc). Only you can know how many characteristics in a relationship that are important to you are present in this relationship, how important each one is, and whether or not the sex thing is a deal breaker.
- sex enhances all the other aspects of a relationship (but doesn't replace the other aspects). It can't make a bad relationship good. Only you can know how good the rest of it is, and how much happiness that contributes to your life.
Work out what you want. Don't let others tell you what you want.
