Everything in the relationship is great, except sex. One person wants it, the other isn't too interested.

Do you think it is a doomed relationship? I do

Unless you're allowed to go fuck other people, and want to fuck other people, that seems pretty doomed.

I was in a relationship with an asexual woman. She allowed me to fool around with other women, so not exactly sexless, but we never did it more than a handful of times. Ended up splitting up due to her never being able to keep a job and she never really looked for work too hard

Of the handful of people I've personally known in my life who are/were asexual, at least half of them I suspect have never had a good sexual partner or have some trauma involving SA that they haven't worked through.

I recognize that this is a shitty and dumb assumption to make of all ace people. It leads to me wonder how representative the ace people I've known are of the broader ace community.

Sounds pretty awful and they should find more compatible partners.

Unless both parties are asexual, sounds like a recipe for disaster. An activing and loving sex life is a very important component of a healthy and mature relationship.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Big no. Sex builds intimacy. Even if you're allowed to get it from others it wont be the same because the emotional connection wont be there or you will build that emotional connection with others and youll be emotionally cheating on your significant other.

While generally you are correct, in reality it's entirely dependent on the person. There are people who are able to compartmentalize sex and love. Case in point for me are ace people. They generally do not like sex to varying degrees. Going by your definitions above, they are not capable of developing emotional bonds with their partners.

compatibility is key. if you don't want it, find someone compatible. if you do, find someone compatible. i've been with people that have sex drives but i still wasn't compatible with, and it was a drag.

Like with open relationships, it's possible to work out if everyone is onboard from the start, but probably going to fail a majority of the time.

I would prefer to have sex but it isnt required.

I do require at least some sexual component in my life though. I imagine life is hell for those people who have a partner who doesnt want to have sex anymore but also considers getting sexual arousal from other sources as cheating.

when couples get older the sex drops off. I cant imagine my parents still do it but they arent going anywhere.

It works if neither partner desires sex, otherwise that's a compatibility issue. It can lead to a lot of frustration for the one not being fulfilled

Do you think it is a doomed relationship? I do

I think that second sentence would be the problem.
