Last relationship killed my fetish? Need help?

Hello reddit I'm a gay (24M) and I come to you for advice about something, sorry for any errors, english is not my 1st language

​

I have (had) a hardwired fat fetish, I can't conceive having sex (or even a romantic relationship) with another guy if he is not downright fat/obese, and I'm also into gaining, meaning I want to get fat myself, and it gets me really going.

First off, I have some emotional issues I'm working on because my last relationship was terrible and left me feeling like shit, before I met him I had no problem with my fetish and was happy with the choices I was making, fast forward, I got my ex into the fetish and he gained around 50 lbs in a year period, it was great but as the relationship went forward he became a really toxic person and would often use my fetish to try and get me back with him.

Around 6 months ago or so I finally broke up, feeling like shit and whatnot, and since then my fetish just feels off?

Like I can see fat/gainer porn and I get hard and jerk off but for some reason it feels really off? I dont feel the adrenaline I used to feel when watching it before, It's more like I do it out of habit.

I don't feel happy about my body anymore, I even started exercising and dieting in hopes of losing weight, but at the same time I'm conscious about my body and I just know that if I end up being skinny again (I was fit like 8 years ago) I won't enjoy sex and I won't like my body image and will fall deeper into depression.

I also have the feeling however that it was ruining me, and my life was driven purely by it, everytime I saw an attractive guy my immediate tought was "That guy would be so much hotter if he put 100+ pounds on", I used to eat junk food all the time and just liked being lazy all around, I recall liking the feeling, but now I just think about it and think it was kind of bad.

At the same time, I still dont find average/slim/fit/muscled guys attractive, my body or feelings don't react to them, my dick still gets hard when seeing a fat guy but my feelings feel really off about it, like it is wrong to like this.

So... I guess my question is did my last relationship ruin my fetish? will it come back? is it gone for good? Am I into the asexual spectrum now? Is it good I dont have this fetish anymore?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'm starting therapy with a psychologyst next week How soon should I tell him all of this?

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou
