writes: My relationship has been full of ups and downs. We have always been there for one another and we always have each other's back. We're best friends. But one day two years ago we broke up and I ended up seeing other people, but I didn't sleep with anyone...not even a kiss. Ever since we've been back together though, things haven't been the same. In two years I haven't felt the same love that I used to feel with him. About a week ago, he confessed to me that I had broken his heart and he doesn't feel the passion that he felt for me before. We've been good, but stuck for a while now. How can we get the passion back in our relationship?? Side Tip: I don't think it has anything to do with sex. I was a virgin for three of the four years we've been together. Sex hasn't changed anything. We have sex often but still feel like something's missing.

I think you two need to talk about the pain and hurt you went through when you were broken up, and try to resolve that. If that can't be done, then maybe you should break up and move on permanently.
