My partner is so focussed on her son that she's lost interest in me...

A , anonymous writes:

I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years, and we were living together until her 15 year old son ran away from her ex-husband. Her son decided he would live with his gran and my partner followed.

She said he was her no 1 priority. I did offer a home to her son but he did not wish to. Her son has been very aggresive and spent a night in prison for damaging his gran's house

I see my partner when he's not been abusive. I feel let down, I don't think she should have gone back to her mother's. Our sex life is now gone completely and if she stays she does not want me to touch her. She says I should understand and be supportive and wait for her, but I feel really mixed up and unhappy.

She rang me today and asked me if I would help her with her assignments for college which I always used to do but I don't feel like my heart is in it.

What should I do?

A reader, PersonX +, writes (9 May 2005):

To be honest, I think your behaviour here is selfish. Her son is obviously subconsciously damaged by his parent's break up, and may be feeling as though his mum's new relationship is pushing him away, causing his violent and desperately upset behaviour. Obviously this will worry your girlfriend, causing her a lot of stress, and she needs to focus on her son a lot, she may not be in the mood for sex as she's got too much else going on.

Can you not be supportive of her, or is sex the only important thing in the relationship to you. She's asking for your support and time, from dealing with her son to simply helping with college work that's getting on top of her as she's under stress, yet you're unwilling to give this support unless you get sex out of it.

Personally I think you need to sort your act out, she can do better than you if that's the way you are, why not be a dedicated and supportive boyfriend to her?
