Breakup because of sex

I recently broke up with my now-to-be-ex boyfriend for a few months. I always wonder when I was with him for 5 years relationship whether I want to spend the rest of my life with him, lets get to the bottom line, I had an orgasm (when he was on top) ONCE in 5 yrs relationship i remember It felt amazing and the rest of our sex I have to be on the top to help myself come , and after long time no hope of he-is-on-top it did not happen at all. At one point I got so bored it was like you remember where to turn to your office when we are driving. but the thing is I always had problem getting turn on by him I believe my lack of orgasm partially because I was not attracted to him that much. it did not feel nice when he touched my body or kissed me. Ok my question is do i make the right decision to break up with someone who dearly love me so much just because I cant find the happiness in bed and intimacy with him? I can get back to him at any second as I always wonder if i was wrong about my decision, I am sort of indecisive type of girl and I am not proud of this bit, and one more thing I feel guilty more than anyone could imagine of having to leave someone because only one reason I dont feel fulfilling in bed and intimacy.

I think it's only natural to have regrets when you break up with someone, but here are some links that may help you determine whether you did the right thing:

Thank you Stephanie that is really nice of you to send me the links. I still miss my boyfriend everyday and thinking about getting back to him despite the fact that i have been trying to leave a few times but failed because i chickened out and afraid of not being able to find any great guy like him he has all good deeds that girls can dream of but the only thing he could not give me are the orgasm and intimacy. i am in a very bad situation and thinking of meditating because i always feel guilty and resentful of what happened to both of us. it is really sad, and people around me start to gossip that i have an affair which makes thing looks uglier than it should be. i am still lost, i am going to study in abroad in 3 more weeks and will stay there for 2 years i might end up have nobody and never find Mr right, some people told me that Mr. right does not exist there is no such thing which made me feel like i want and ask so much from life can give particularly from my ex boyfriend, I let myself to the miserable and no one to love situations, i already had a great guy before. very sad story I dont know where can i ask for help to get over my situation maybe counselor would be able to help me. Thanks anyway that you replied me.

You're welcome, and I think it's great that you're going to study abroad. Perhaps focusing on that, and the excitement of being in a new place, will help you get your confidence back and maybe your relationship luck will change, too.
