Not unless there was some catastophic reason for the lack of intimacy such as major illness or injury.
|
|
|
|
it can if you choose to deal with that

|
|
if you lose intimacy in a relationship, I say you better check what really went wrong!

A relationship can only starts with a bit of intimacy and is based on intimacy. It depends on the depth or level of intimacy that is lacking.

Take you are talking about physical intimacy.
Think it depends upon the people. If that is the only thing the relationship is based upon...then no. If it is based upon emotional intimacy...then yes. |

I was going to say, as much as I love the sexual intimacy of a relationship, it's the emotional intimacy that makes or breaks a relationship, not sex. Lack of sexual intimacy, except for medical or physiological reasons, usual is a result of the lack of emotional intimacy one feels with a mate, not the other way around. |

It totally depends relationship to relationship.
Some women in my past I have had a relationship I parted ways with once in for all while a few are still my friends platonicly. It all depends on how you come into the relationship and how you go out. If it ends badly chances are it is better to keep your distance. If the two of you just walk away together and you don't have your emotions driving you insane why destroy a perfectly good friendship? I got plenty of female friends who are just that, friends. There is no shame in being friends! The shame is if you do not get along at all any more but then again such is life. You just cannot have everything you want. Right now I want a cookie but I am all out. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Chocolate Chip with walnuts.... Hot Chocolate.............. Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg........................ |

I would think liveing without either mental or physical intimacy would be a very empty relationship and would eventually wither and die.

You're not going to have a sudden loss of physical intimacy without the loss of emotional intimacy first. |
