I don't feel passion for my partner anymore
My relationship is very good. We are each others best friend. It's just.... the passion is lost. Sometimes I miss that immensly. I don't want to live without passion. It's important to me.
But I also don't want to risk my relationship for it. I can't imagine life without my partner. But I also can't imagine life without passion. And I don't know if I can still feel passion for my partner.
I don't know what to do. Anybody recognizes this?
Yes, definitely! Exact same situation here. Feel desperate about it. Would love to hear other people's experiences.
I have been in the same situation, but at some point did not feel well enough in it anymore and we split up. There was afterwards a period of depressed feelings and trying to find my way again. This is some years ago now. Now we are still very close friends, but are both living a passionate life! Very happy that it went like this!
p.s. Before we split up, I tried therapy. For us this was not the solution, we never had much passion from the start. But I can very well imagine that it can give a fantastic boost and can bring passion back in a relationship!
