I've been with my gf for coming up three years, I love her and the relationship is good, but recently things have been going in a direction I don't like. For the past several months, she is distracted and withdrawn when we hang out. It's not intentional like a silent treatment or anything, more like she's too comfortable and doesn't put in any effort to engage. Sex became less frequent and she falls asleep right afterwards or by 9:30, whichever is first. We finally talked about it and her solution was to cut down our time together, which is already only for a few hours in the evenings between our work schedules, because she hasn't been able to put in as much free time into her hobbies since picking up extra days at work. She also told me that she doesn't want to have sex as often and from now on, just won't when she doesn't want to. I'm not happy with either of these changes but I agreed to them because I didn't know another solution. Any advice?

That's why you stay within your league.
Better start advocating for anti frigid spouse laws.
>because she hasn't been able to put in as much free time into her hobbies since picking up extra days at work.
Let her enjoy her hobbies for a little bit, if she feels like it. Sex won't always be on the table and you should learn to deal with it. This also may be a test of sorts, to see how you do without frequent sex, which women tend to do a good amount of time.

yeah you can
something is seriously wrong with that relationship
if your gf depressed ? maybe she needs meds ?

She is too which is why shes cooling down on you and trying to carry on the relationship in her terms. You need to start working on yourself and implement some dread game, or things will continue to deteriorate until she leaves, starts cheating on you or both.

She i starting to take you for granted. You should let her know that a cutting down sex is a dealbreaker for you. Don't be a pussy, you can find another girl in that league. Show her that she can't take you for granted, this might actually turn her on again.
Nothing is a bigger turnoff for a girl than a guy who they can take for granted.

So you're gonna let this girl shit on your needs in the relationship because she's just a fine piece of ass? I think you need to have a little self-respect, anon. Would you rather be in a relationship with a gorgeous porcelain doll that you can't touch, or a regular woman who wants to be with you, and fulfill your needs?

If you're positive you can't do better than someone with this attitude, than why are you here talking to us? If you believe you deserve this kind of lackluster interaction and lack of respect and interest, you should be asking us how to improve yourself.
Improving yourself is actually the right thing to do. She also believes she can do better than you and you can't do better than her. She's showing her true colors, which is to do the absolute minimum to keep you in her life.
Whether or not you want to keep this woman, your response is to improve your value. Make more money, have more friends (especially female ones), get in better physical condition. Her interest and desire for you will return once she begins to fear losing you.
As long as she has no fear, her behavior will only degrade.
Try /fit/. Try to avoid /r9k/.
You need hobbies and stuff too it seems. Both of you should still be working on yourselves with work school or hobbies. You can gauge her commitment to you by establishing a date night once a week. If she flakes out on these 2/3 times you are fucked. If there is no resemblance to your first few dates you should also be worried, you dont have to be all over each other but the years that went by is no reason for dates to feel stale or unsexy.
I agree with trying new hobbies and improvement.
1. You will distract yourself, instead of sitting in your livingroom, pining.
2. She will find you more interesting.
I would go to the lengths of starting something you enjoy so much, YOU will be the one demanding less time together, not out of spite, but because of your overall gains. If you start working out, or take classes or join a club or whatever, she'll feel like she has to work to get some more of your time, in no time. Either that, or you break up, but not in a way that makes you feel you're losing something, but freeing up time to spend on people who actually appreciates your company (new and interesting women still standing.)
Also, try and re-ignite your passion for each other by actually going on dates. Have fun together. It's ill-adviced to spend all your time together on a couch.
