/u/LeaveMeAndMyCakeBe on My asexual friend thinks allosexuals are gross, and it’s upsetting.

I'm a Sex Repulsed Asexual, but I would NEVER say that to a friend, I mean yeah, my friends know I think sex is gross, and that I find the results of it (children) aren't cute, but I wouldn't ever call someone a bad person for having sex- after all, 99% of the population does, it's just strange to me I'd say sit down and have a talk with her, explaining that you're more than open to her talking about her opinions but that her critical comments are hurting your feelings and that you'd like her to stop, if she understands then she's a good friend I'd say March 17, 2020 at 12:14AM

/u/ningenshikkakuu on What was your biggest Aro/Ace/Demi moment? And did it tip you off to the fact that you didn't experience attraction/experienced it differently than your peers?

Thanks for the encouragement!! I actually don't mind sex as it is and I'm not sex repulsed, I aporeciate it for the intimacy hahaha I just don't feel sexual attraction so the thought of doing it with someone makes me feel weird. It's good to have it figured out tho. March 16, 2020 at 11:58PM

This guy is always pressuring me to voice chat and I said I didn't want to today, so I said there's plenty of other people who can with him. He removed me from his friend discord and is being really rude now that I won't anymore...

My boyfriend [30M] abuses alcohol, says verbally abusive things to me [30F], but most of our relationship is good. Please be objective with me.

It’s happened a few times in our 18-month relationship. I’ll tell him his drinking is unhealthy and that I don’t like it, and he’ll swear at me and call me names. He’s said I’m garbage, a piece a shit, a dumb bitch, that I’ve been “getting fucked,” that he has them “lined up” and I’m not the last. The last time this happened through text, I didn’t respond. The next morning he texted me a long paragraph about how he’s “lost respect for me” and that I don’t really love him because I don’t stand by him. Oh, and that I’m not a “real woman” because I won’t stand by him, that I don’t actually love him. I have never talked to him like that and if I did, he would never talk to me again. The drinking involves driving, general stupidity, breaking things, swearing at me (“fuck you, bitch” is slurred often). 90% of the time, things are good, but the other 10% is made of toxicity. The good: He is invested and involved in my emotional, physical well-being. The bad: all of the above. What do you...

How do I [25F] stop being so bitter towards my family over something trivial?

tl;dr: How do I [25F] stop being so bitter toward my mother who gave away a free car to my younger brother? I live with my mother and so do my two adult siblings (31F and 10M). The good part is that I just got a new job so I’ll be moving out but I still need help with getting over the resentment I’ve been harbouring toward my family, particularly my mother. I was born deaf and because of this my mother is extremely protective of me. I know it’s natural for parents to be more protective when their children have a disability but it’s getting in the way for me. I’m an accountant and got an amazing job at a major institution. Since I became a teenager I have always wanted to drive a car. I hounded on my mother who by the way is a single parent and she said she enforced a rule that all of my siblings must be 19 before they could give their permit and that the elder sibling gets a car first. I respected that rule. Until my brother turned 18 and got his permit already. Of course I was ma...

Dad Won’t Let Me Hangout With Friends Outside of School

I’ve been dealing with this issue for quite some time. I’d like to start off by saying I have good grades and I am rarely in trouble. My Dad rarely lets me hangout with my newer friends outside of school. I am usually only allowed to visit friends that I have known since elementary school, and I am now a junior in high school. I haven’t really hung out with the friends I’ve made in high school outside of school, and it’s caused my friendships to usually be short because I never get to see most of the friends I make. Whenever I ask my Dad if I can he always tells me he needs to meet their parents, but is unwilling to do so 98% of the time. I asked to visit a friend once and he hadn’t met their parents, he was angry at me but still took me there but refused to leave their house and made me come home early. Before you start saying my Dad is a narcissistic or something, he’s not and he’s great but when it comes to friendships this bothers me. If I try to talk to him about this he shuts me...

My [28 F] boyfriend [29 M] of 7 months wants to Social Distance

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 months, it's serious, and now because of the crisis we're both teleworking. We both understand the need for social distancing. We both stocked up on food and are avoiding leaving our respective apartments. My boyfriend wants to avoid us seeing each other until it's safe and I'm respecting that. He's suggested phone calls and watching movies together like we're long distance. But what happens come May? What if this goes on longer than anyone would hope? Because it isn't lost on me that social distancing doesn't mean families split up. I've only been dating my boyfriend 7 months but we've said we love each other and I honestly wouldn't have a problem moving in together now. He's said he doesn't want to move in together until he gets a better job and a larger apartment than his studio. He's also worried about us not really knowing how it would work for us, if there would be conflicts over...

My friend (35F) only cares about her ex (25F) and it's taking a toll on me (25F)

My friend is very inexperienced and in the summer met a guy on tinder after years of negative self talk and belief that she would always be alone. They never met up but they messaged and video chatted daily, but things took a bad turn when he had to move back to his home country to look after a sick family member. He told her he was stressed out and couldn't hurt her by not being able to give her the time and attention she deserved, so he called it off. She handled it very poorly, and went back into a spiral of seld pity and catastrophising. She waited for a few weeks and then continued to send him messages, the exact frequency I'm unsure. He eventually messaged back after a month to say he doesn't want to and hasn't been talking to anybody. She is convinced he is self sabotaging and is going to continue to message and even send things in the mail. It's taken a toll on me personally because I hear about this almost daily and she's delicate so I'm afraid t...

My (26 f) relationship (26 m) is breaking down due to COVID-19

My (26 f) boyfriend (26 m) have been together 3 years and were planning on moving in together abroad soon. Due to COVID-19 everything is now uncertain and we will lose a lot of money. On top of this I have been laid off for a couple of weeks. Understandably, we are both extremely stressed and upset. I am the one who is mostly taking care of making phone calls, cancellations etc as my boyfriend just refuses to. I have been suggesting different things to get our mind off it - like go get exercise outside, get coffee together, have a few drinks etc but he refuses, says I stress him out and doesn’t want to see me or message me. Over the past week he has been spending a lot of time with friends or by himself. One night he disappeared without telling me where he was for almost 24 hours and acted like it was no big deal. I was worried sick, thinking something could have happened to him. He acts like this whole situation is my fault and I’m a stressor. I feel like in stressful situations a...

I (21F) have feelings for a friend (21M) but I don’t think those feelings are reciprocated

I’m using a throwaway account here :) To keep the story somewhat short, I have feelings for a Male friend and it turns out these feelings aren’t reciprocated... so I think. The situation between us has been so strange for a little while now. Initially, when we started speaking to each other, it was just friendly chatting, and as time went on, it felt like things became a bit more flirty, or at the very least, I got the impression he was kind of interested in me. I also started to feel interested in him too. We text each other everyday, he texts me every night, and he often used to tell me how much he likes talking to me. Eventually we decided to meet up (we knew each other through a friend of a friend type connection), and we went to a concert together. He paid for my ticket which I was surprised by and I made so many offers to him to pay him back but he said no, it’s fine, I’ll treat you. At this point I couldn’t help but think, he’s dropping a big sign here that this could be a d...

What is my issue?

I (27F) had to get emergency evacuated from my school overnight. It was 3 days of mass mayhem trying to get a flight out straight mosh pit of people lined up at airports. I didn’t get a flight for 3 days all my friends got picked in the lotto and I was alone feeling scared in this crazy time for 3 days. so I felt scared and desperate so I ended up calling my ex (dated him (28M)for almost 10 years we broke up a year and half ago but we still talked until this past June). Long story short behind our relationship is that basically I supported us financially and any other ways. We dated for so long that I needed him to show maturity and step up to the plate. Get a job, finish the last 3 semesters of school anything. I understand some of you may attack me for wanting to change someone but I loved him with all my heart I just wanted stability in our future. We’re almost 30. It’s time to move out and be real. Meanwhile I’m in med school finishing up and he was unemployed living at grandmas. ...

Not sure if girlfriend is pregnant, did not have sex

2 weeks ago my(26) gf(22) of 6 months and I were in bed together and she made me orgasm. We didn't have sex but she said that she sat on my leg where some of the residue was. So may or may not that some went inside her. She was on the last day of her period at the time so was not wearing the patch. Since then she's been feeling nauseous and sick every morning, feeling happy then sad and also back pain now and then. She has her appetite back but she can't so exercise without getting tired or hungry. There is a chance that she is, but could this be another illness? Also will we be able to terminate this from going any further because neither of us are ready for this. TL;DR GF may be pregnant but we didn't have sex. Any other related illnesses?

My (25) partner (28) has illness anxiety disorder and they’re driving me insane with the coronavirus

My (25) partner (28) of 3 years is a hypochondriac aka they have illness anxiety disorder. With the new COVID-19 virus going around they’re convinced that they have it and have me reassure them everything is fine and they don’t have it. This can happen 3-4 times a day for the past 2-3 weeks. And I’m over it. They’re now saying I’m being rude and unsupportive when we discuss this. Which I am not being sweet and loving about it anymore, I’m just stating the facts. I love them and I want to help them but I’m at my wits end. This causes my own anxieties to come out even more and I’m already stressed out about everything else happening. Does anyone have advice on how to deal with this or have experienced similar situations?

My [F22] boyfriend’s [M22] mother [F40] has his banking information and regularly takes money out of his account. He has no savings because of her

Anything he puts in she will spend half or more. She is a good woman in a lot of ways who has raised kind intelligent children as a single mother but her entitlement and willingness to hold her son down baffles me. She has not had a job in the 10 years I’ve known her, her youngest kids are now 10 and 12. My boyfriend are servers at a restaurant and are out of work for the foreseeable future. I have enough saved to cover my half of the rent but he does not, not because he is a frivolous spender but because she spends his money to support her household. He shuts down when I ask him about this issue because he feels a lot of guilt about how she suffered raising him. He also feels obligated to care for his younger siblings. Oh and he also makes $200+ a month in car payments for his car, which he bought for himself but which his mom has had at her place 25 minutes away for the past 8 months. She calls it “my car” This is a serious issue with me now and I really want to say something abo...

my boyfriend (25m) keeps shutting me out and I (25f) want to leave

So a little background, we're both 25 and we've been together for a year. Things were going pretty great until he recently graduated and moved to his parents house (few months back). His parents are pretty hard on him all the time and so him being at home is causing his personality to change. He planned to move out as soon as he got a job but the job market is pretty shit at the moment. The thing that makes me sad the most is that he acts like he's disinterested in me, or the relationship as a whole. Like he lacks the emotional capacity to be in a relationship. I have been trying to understand him but he never shares. He said sharing problems is not gonna change anything so he prefers to avoid answering my questions when I ask him what's going on. I feel bad because I know he's in a bad place but I have emotional needs too and he doesnt seem to want to work things out with me but keeps shutting me out. Should I tell him I'm leaving or should I stay until he get...
