My girlfriend just broke up with me after a great 5 years. The only thing that changed was that we havent had sex for about 2 months, prior to that we were doing it atleast once a week, sometimes more. Is it possible, that as the sex wore off, so did the relationship. This is the only thing that ever changed between us. And we didn't purposfully not have sex, there were just some things that prevented us from it. My question is, is sex important for a good relationship, esspecially after we had been doing it for a while? And could this be the reason that she drifted away from me?

It doesn't make a good relationship but it's important. You know the samething has happened to me. The sex died down and the relationship has hit rocky ground.
Some say sex ain't important but I think they are just trying to justify their crappy sex life.. Sex can keep you both close and ease frustrations

Depends on the relationship. Sometimes you're with someone that you could live without the sex, and in others where you have more physical chemistry its a lot more important. But as you've been together 5 years Im sure that it was more than just the lack of sex - because otherwise you both would have known that you were just in a busy time where it wasnt possible....there had to be more to it than just sex.

No sex isn't important for a good relationship its tears people farther apart. It doesn't make everything better it only makes it worse and worse cause eventually you just get bored of your partner. Its better if you just talk to each other and hang out together so that way you can find out whether or not its true love/romance. Then when you finally think the time has come for sex ask your partner if they believe its for the best.

I would talk to her about it, thats for sure. I believe that the recent lack of sex is not the problem, but rather a symtom of a problem. 5 years is a long time to be just boyfriend and girlfriend, unless you are both very young. Perhaps she is looking for a bigger commitment from you, and feels that its not what you want. If that is so, then she has become a free woman to pursue a possible future relationship that has a future in it.

Sex is good for a relationship because you can connect on an intimate level with Your partner.... But If your relationship was built on sex and not emotions then that could be a reason why she drifted away... Relationships are one big puzzle to me... You have to have the right balance of compatibility on all levels, Chemisrty with each other, And so yeah

Depends on the person. Sex is not that important for me compared to everything else I love about my boyfriend. I don't think anyone else could tell you the reason but her. The only reason I would leave is because something bad happened, cheating, lying or some betrayal. That would kill the sex and our relationship.

yes...yes...Yes...YES YES... lol
My guess is there is some other reason the two of you stopped having sex.....and if the sex is good, its easy to be forgiving and keep allowing yourselves to stay stuck in other bad habits that disrespect ea other....what I mean is she may not have felt valued because you made fun of her job (or whatever) but every time she had sex she believed it would change...and the sex was so good...she'd keep getting it confused with the relationship.....so you call off the sex for a while and you see....no the relationship is broke....I do get treated badly or whatever.....and the only way to break out...is to stop having the great sex.....get it?

If the sex was important to one of you and not the other then yes, it could possibly be the demise of the relationship. You should ask her the reasons
