[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how do you know she isn't just keeping you on as a friend? are you living together? How do you know there is no one else? Why are you in therapy with a GF? Get rid of her.[/quote]

Thank you for the advice, but I'm not looking for relationship advice. I'm just asking if anyone else out there has been in a similar standoff. It doesn't have to be around sex. But just some non-negotiable that has changed in a relationship, but neither side is blinking, even though fixing that element of the relationship if a pre-condition of moving forward in the relationship. Yes, we live together in a very nice house that she owns and pays the mortgage on and I'm sure there is no one else. She's an entrepreneur who works 70+ hours a week. Otherwise she's home with the new puppy.[/quote]

yes you do want relationship advice. there is no general answer. 1.5 yr standoffs don't end well especially if it is over sex. you all are roommates and she's NOT THROWING YOU OUT on your ass. That's what you are missing is her compassion for you. You need to leave.[/quote]

I have my own place actually. Don't want to give more details. But I do have housing I could leave easily if I wanted to. Again, I care about her and I want it to work again. Obviously I wouldn't have tried couples counseling if I didn't care about trying to revive things. And no, I don't want relationship advice in the sense of I'm asking "how can I make things improve?" Rather, I'm asking if anyone has had a stand off before? And, why do people think (given the info I've given) she hasn't blinked, given everything she stands to lose?[/quote]
