I am extremely irritated with my ex/boyfriend/whatever the hell he is... We have a troubled relationship, it's been on and off for five years.

Clearly there are many other issues in your relationship that he is not willing to face. He does not know it all, and he does need counselling. The fact that he runs away from this by saying it's too expensive shows that he isnt ready to truly face himself or what's going on between the two of you. Of course it's ridiculuous to think that cutting off sex is going to solve anything, and add to that the fact that you can now both date, seems to me that he is signalling the end of the relationship. Why are you still there? He's playing all kinds of head games and clearly isn't willing to do what he knows he has to do, communicate honestly, face himself and find out what's really gonig on. It's time for you to now open your eyes and make a healthy choice for yourself.


Best wishes,
