A relationship can only "work out" if there is space between your boundaries and her needs. If you can't stand sex, you shouldn't have it; if she is persistently unhappy not having sex with you, then you've got an irreconcilable difference and should part ways. I realize that probably sounds extremely harsh, but irreconcilable differences will only get more bitter with time. Would you rather respectfully part now, bittersweet but as friends, or in several months when one or both of you has been miserable for some time over an issue you can't compromise? The only other alternative is nonmonogamy, but I struggle to recommend it because it usually doesn't work out well. July 22, 2022 at 12:20AM

To anyone who takes the time to read this. I’m a 25 year old male who got out of the military about 3 years ago. As I transitioned I had a girl whom I was falling in love with. She ended up moving with me to South Carolina to grow there together. Since then the love has dimmed. We show signs of loving each other. However, late night thoughts show that it’s over for now. It has been about a year since we split from living together. Long story short. I’m only asking for advice on processing a love lost and moving into a rhythm to create another true bond. I do well with women who are happy single. Don’t know who else to ask for advice on building real love. Lost all my father figures. Wanna build connection again. Thanks for any reply in advance 🫡🫰🏽 Submitted July 22, 2022 at 12:10AM To anyone who takes the time to read this. I’m a 25 year old male who got out of the military about 3 years ago.

I’m starting to feel super insecure about my looks and myself lately especially when it comes to dating! I have no problems flirting with people but it stops at that ( the flirting is always reciprocated) however no one ever asks for my number or even tries to go further than that. I end up having friends who flirt with me but never do more. Am I just not attractive ( people always say I’m a lot of fun soo I’d like to think my personality isn’t pushing ppl away) To add to this I’ve never been approached on a evening out (unless it’s by a creepy old person) and most of my friends have.

Well looks like I’m getting ghosted for the first time in my life. I (24m) believe I’m being ghosted by (24f) that I’ve been seeing/dating/hooking up with for the past month and a half. Just as things seemed to be heading towards a relationship, I haven’t heard back in days. This stuff sucks. I was finally starting to develop feelings for the first time since my ex after a year and a half Things seemed to be going perfect, but damn this stings Submitted July 22, 2022 at 12:14AM Well looks like I’m getting ghosted for the first time in my life.

You first. July 21, 2022 at 11:46PM

Hi and I'm sorry to hear about your past, but also happy that you're on the road to recovering from it. I also struggle a lot with being around people and getting close to them. If I spend to much time around others I get super exhausted and I'd rather be on my own. But here's the thing: it gets better with time, the more you hang around people, the more you'll get used to it! Only up to 3-4 years ago, when I really started to make friends and hang out with people more, after some time I'd start to hate seeing them, I'd make me feel empty, bored, anxious. I'd often disappear and cut all contact with them for weeks. Now, while I still have those issues and often need a break after being around people for too long, I actually enjoy being with my friends and I call or text them almost every day. So stay strong, get advice from your therapist, find good friends that will support you no matter what and you'll see things will get better. July 21, 20...
