writes:I am a 24 year old that has a live in boyfriend that is 33 years old and about 102 days ago quit drinking. He was an alcoholic since he was 19. He doesn't want sex and when I talk to him about our sex life and our relationship and how all this makes me feel, he just says he doesn't know what to say back or he doesn't say anything at all. Does that mean he's not in love with me? I don't know what to do. Should I stay by his side and hope he will fall back in love with me or should I just move on? How am I supposed to know how he feels if he doesn't talk to me? It just seems that he is always thinking about something else than even noticing what all I do for him and how much I love him.

 Whoa,
Taking on alcoholism is a major undertaking. It requires a Whole new lifestyle, including new ways of dealing with all of his relationships. There may be links between alcohol and his sexual response. Are you involved with AA's organization for friends and relatives of alcoholics? (someone will tell me what it is named). This is going to be a difficult change for you too, and you may need help from a good counselor. Some times the first counselor you work with won't "connect" with you. Don't be afraid to try another. Don't give up yet. The fact that he is quitting drinking is a very good sign for your future.
