I have been in a relationship these past couple of months. We both agree that we love eachother. We spend almost everyday together. I enjoy spending time with her. She is wonderfully supportivewhen I'm down.There are some problems, though.
One problem is in the area of physical intimacy. I am quite asexual. I also usually don't like to be touched. She thrives on these things. It comes up often and I have no solutions.
she is bipolar and I'm schizoaffective. We are both suicidally depressed right now. Not a good thing. I wish there was more I could do for her, but I just don't have enough emotional currency myself to be very supportive. I really want to help but I'm so wrapped up in my own issues I can't.
I just don't know what to do. I want to stay together but I don't know if I could handle it.We talked about this last night and I told her about the boundary issues. She told me that she wants to be with me despite all of this.
