My husband and I seem to only ever have sex. I know that it's supposed to express love, but neither of us waited to marriage...we both slept around a lot. I do love him, and he promises he loves me, and not just my body. But it seems like, unless we're making love, we're not getting along. Is it possible to love someone with liking them? Seriously... I love him, but I don't like him because he's rude to me and not really abusive, but almost. So... what now?
aquababe1 answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 5:45 pm: I dont see how you could love somebody without actually liking them...but it sounds like you should break up with him, or go to couples counsuling or something. All you do is have sex, and then bitch at eachother?? It doesnt sound like a good relationship, that he's only using you for sex or something. He can promise he loves you a thousand times but the true way to know is if he actually shows it. and sex doesnt count as showing it. just look at hookers.

littleblufirefly answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 4:07 pm: I disagree with the other answer. I think it's very possible to love someone without liking them. Do you feel like you love him, but you're not in love with him? Honestly, why are you staying with him if all you ever do is have sex and he's rude to you all the time? It doesn't sound like you're very happy. I would suggest some couples counseling. Just sit down with him and talk about the reasons you don't get along, and tell him that it hurts you when he's rude to you etc. Tell him that it bothers you that all you ever do is have sex. Maybe you guys could make a date night a couple night a week and just spend one-on-one time together. Really focus on one another and get to know each other all over again. There had to be a point where both of you were happy together, try to reconnect and find that happiness again. I wish you the best of luck, and message me if you have anymore questions. <3 Dana [ littleblufirefly's advice column | Ask littleblufirefly A Question ]
spacefem answered Tuesday October 24 2006, 8:04 am: Is this a real question, or one you made up to encourage the kids of this site to abstain from sex until marriage? Because it doesn't sound real, you didn't tell us anything about how he's rude or why you didn't get along, you just made it all about sex, and that's not what real relationships are about, no matter how many people you've slept with. That's why I hate about abstinence advocates... they think about sex more than normal people! So anyway that's your first problem, you're fake. Second problem is that no, you cannot love someone without liking them. [ spacefem's advice column | Ask spacefem A Question ]
