I would certainly say something. NYE is generally a holiday you spend with your partner if you have one because of the midnight kiss. I guess if he has a tradition with his guy friends it might not have occurred to him, but relationships mean making some compromises when it comes to significant events.

I don't think your bf is properly communicating the reality of his situation. My husband was in the Navy for 10 years; his command wanted to be notified if he so much as went out of town on a day trip. you had to put in a request for leave and outline where you would be going- the command would routinely reject anything too frivolous or risky. They would never have approved of a trip to travel outside the country to see your girlfriend. He may want to come see you very desperately, but that may genuinely not be in the cards for him...

>About 6 months into the relationship, i find myself physically attacked. Oh right, i forgot to mention she's a recovering alcoholic. The angry kind. I've had to call the cops on her several times and the ambulance once. I've stopped her from cutting herself and had to intervene when she recently tried to stab herself to death in front of me because I expressed an interest in leaving the relationship due to all the unnecessary fighting. But she attacks me as well. I have bite marks on my arms and forehead. I have a broken pinky finger. I have scars from her clawing at me. I've never once laid a hand on her to hurt her. Not once. I've only ever stopped her from hurting herself or I've defended myself. The cops and paramedics have always been on my side.

What the actual fuck are you doing staying in the relationship?

> As much as I love her I don't think I see myself in a relationship like this for the rest of my life. I want to bring it up but I'm not sure how to go about it without it sounding like I'm trying to force her into having sex with me, or appear like I'm threatening to leave if she doesn't.

Break up. I know that's cliché for Reddit, but break up.

You are fully within your right to be frustrated if you're not getting as much physical intimacy as you'd like in a relationship. But she's also absolute within her right to take things at her own pace because she's dealing with trauma.

You literally said you don't want to do this for the rest of your life, and you don't want it to sound like you're forcing her or threatening to leave.. but you kind of are telling her that you're going to leave if she doesn't fulfill your physical needs.

If you can't accept her for where she is right now, and you aren't having your needs met, then this isn't the right relationship for you.
