Hi Lucia,
My boyfriend is impotent. That's okay with me as I'm not really into sex anyway.
The thing is, he always wants to spend the night but I don't like sleeping with him. He snores, tosses, talks in his sleep and sometimes punches me in the back when he's dreaming. Why does he so much want to spend the night when there is no sex involved? Joan
Hi Joan,
Believe it or not, it’s not always about sex! At times, it’s just about companionship. He wants to replace the intimacy that sex brings by sleeping together – literally! However, it’s not just about what he wants, it’s also about what you want. It’s supposed to be a two way street. This is where you will need to compromise.
Let him know how his sleeping affects you (if you already haven’t) and see what can be done about it. I don’t know how often he sleeps over, but you may have to cut it down to something acceptable to you, like once or twice a week. The other option is to sleep in another bedroom (if you have one) or on the sofa.
