If you have a couple minutes.. please read this! I need help, or at least moral support.

I'm dating a lovely woman who is a year older than I am. She's 33. We've been dating just under a year, and she has many great qualities that I enjoy and admire. She is extremely loyal and trustworthy, even-tempered, and detail oriented; a civil engineer.

There are two main things that I have a problem with, and they are becoming bigger and worse as the relationship develops.

One, we have very different sex drives. I love to have sex, and see it as a very important and necessary part of any serious romantic relationship that I'm in. I feel that it is what separates friends from lovers. I would like to have sex every day, in a perfect world. She, on the other hand, is quite unsexual. We have sex on average about once a week, sometimes less. When we do, It is me who always initiates it. The longest we've gone without sex is a month. I've tried to spice things up and be very romantic, but in the end I usually end up feeling like a perv because my sex drive is so much stonger than hers. Last time I asked her to take her pants off, she laughed like it was a ridiculous request, which sort of killed the mood for me. Our relationship started exciting, but I'm finding myself less drawn to her in a sexual way, and it's tearing me up. It is affecting how I act around her, I am becoming noticeable irritated and cranky at times, and I know that she notices. She doesn't say anything though. Sometimes I lay awake in bed next to her with my heart beating like crazy, because I'm so frustrated. She snores next to me.

Two, Our communication hasn't matured over time (I'm referring to the content of our conversation). Our conversation is a little too polite, and void of raw emotion. I am an open person and am comfortable talking about how I feel, but she's not that way. She likes to talk about facts, and not about how she feels about things. We've never had an argument, and frankly that scares me a bit. I don't feel comfortable talking to her about everything that I feel, which is unlike me. I like to be open.

So I'm at a crossroads. I don't expect that she will change. In fact I believe that the longer we stay together, the more these things will bother me and continue to get worse. I care for her so much and don't want to hurt her feelings, so I would do anything within my power to save our relationship. But I won't give up what I feel to be important.. and the sex and communication are two of the most important factors in a relationship, to me at least.

So I have to decide what to do, and how to do it. If you have any ideas, PLEASE share.

It appears you two are incompatible in ways that cannot be changed. You should not feel bad because you are more sexual and she should not feel bad because she is not. You are an open person she is not. It is what it is.
Have an honest talk and end it. It will be better in the long run for both of you.
Or maybe the relationship has run it's course. Either instance, you need to have a talk
