I (24F) am no longer sexually attracted to my (26M) boyfriend; resorted to other forms of indulgence.

Throw away account for secrecy. My boyfriend and I have been together for over 4 years. About 2 years ago, I found myself no longer sexually attracted to him. His advances would fill me with an "ugh" feeling because I didn't want to be sexual with him. For about a year and a half, I made excuses, blamed myself, and would be sexual with him strictly because he wanted it and I didn't want him to feel inadequate. I was so un-aroused that the sex would be physically uncomfortable, and I couldn't wait for it be over. About 6 months ago, I stopped trying to fulfill his needs and focused on what my body was telling me, and would deny any advances. I tried to talk to him about this, but because of his self esteem issues he would tend to make excuses and blame my body, saying I needed to see a gyno. When I explained that it was emotional, he would get defensive and put up a wall. He wouldn't talk with me about it and would shut down down the conversation, or use the g...

Why are 3am booty calls a thing??

I honestly can't understand what even goes through a person's mind that, "you/I should go and fuck someone, who's an hour away, at 3 in the morning!" seems like a plausible and good idea. I'm really raging right now, the audacity of Man to create such BULLSHIT like this. TF do I look like driving some weirdo's home an hour away... FOR A DICK I'M NOT EVEN SURE I'D ENJOY?!?? Nuh uh, no sir no thanks Submitted September 04, 2020 at 11:55PM I honestly can't understand what even goes through a person's mind that, "you/I should go and fuck someone, who's an hour away, at 3 in the morning!" seems like a plausible and good idea.I'm really raging right now, the audacity of Man to create such BULLSHIT like this.

I got ghosted by the person I love after 10 months of dating and it still hurts.

July 2019, I met up with this girl. She's really beautiful and she's fun to be around with. We exchanged a lot of kisses and hugs, but we didn't have sex because she doesn't want it. She's still a virgin and wants to remain one until marriage which I respect. We dated every week until the lockdown happened. We decided to follow the guidelines in California to play our part in slowing down the spread. March to May we just texted and texted and on my birthday, May 6, she even insisted on ordering pizza for me (my favorite food) and get it delivered to my house. One to two weeks after my birthday, she didn't reply for 24 hours. When she did, she told me she was busy. I got used to her slow replies, she usually replies once every 1 hour, she never replies when she's at work. That day was different. After that, her replies now takes 2-3 days. Then a week or two. She was never answering my calls. So I decided to call her job and got myself directed to her phone l...

Would you date someone who has a best friend of the opposite sex?

And would you date someone who has friends of the opposite sex? I worded this question like this because I wanted male and female answers This has nothing to do with anything I have going on. Just was curious on other peoples answers. Most of my friends say no and personally I wouldn’t either. It has nothing to do with insecurities, thats just my dating preference(I know there’s girls out there that prefer female friends and that’s the girls I go for relationship-wise). I’m a guy and I know how guys think. Not to generalize all men but I know a lot of them would have sex with their female friend if she gave them the chance. Sometimes that can also be a case for men as well. So to me its like, I don’t gotta deal with that.

Bless my soul for I shall try again ... Any last minute words of advice? Survival tips? Or am I dead already and these are the words of the dead?

My heart mind and body have been broken over and over again every time I make a new profile. It's been a few years since the last one. Here's what I'm going to do. 1) Take a lot of medication to remain calm (I'm pretty loaded up right now). 2) Get my hair cut to the ideal shape (i have it extra rock star long for fun right now but I know it's not appealing and looks better shorter). 3) Dye out my grey hair (yeah I'm in my 30s now that's a thing). 4) Take some pictures. Target ideas: - 1 standing smiling outdoors chest and up with trees/nature. - 1 playing an instrument, not looking at camera. - 1 wearing a stethoscope and smiling looking like a doctor in my office but hopefully not looking like a "Linked in" picture. - 1 skydiving. I wanted to have one of my torso and abs but I'm still 5 lb of fat loss and 10 lb of muscle gain away from looking impressive there so this will have to be good enough. That will be for next try in 3 months...

Is being comfortable more important than being fulfilled?

Tl;dr we’re realised we have fundamental differences but have a lot of love for each other, should we make it work or continue on in comfort? It’s something I’m currently struggling with. I got married really young (22F he was 31M) and my perspective has changed a lot in the nearly 3 years we’ve been married. He’s a creative, and I work in an offshoot of engineering , I am really passionate about my work and am very determined to climb the ladder for my own goals (non-financial). We’ve been arguing over the same things for the last two years or so, he believes he’s passed his peak in his field but wants to just work at it full time (don’t want to say exactly what field), but financially we’ve been surviving solely off my income for the past two years. For context my role is an apprenticeship so I study PT and work FT, more and more lately I’m finding myself really satisfied with my work life and the personal aspects of my life gym, sport (which he chooses not to engage with me in) a...

I'm [22F] unsure whether to break up with bf [24M] to deal with personal issues.

TL;DR Want to end relationship to work on building sense of self and experience independence Ever since I [22F] was a child I have struggled with autonomy and identity. I'm an only child, and my parents were very overbearing and fearful. I never really had any privacy, and wasn't allowed to do things for myself because everything was 'dangerous'. I wasn't allowed to see friends outside of school really, or even catch a bus until I turned 18. I also was my mother's prime source of emotional support. As a result I lack confidence, a sense of autonomy, and am not very assertive. After moving out of home I moved in with my bf [24M]. We've been together for 3 years and lived together for 2. We have a pretty healthy relationship, and are best friends. He is pretty set in his views and ways however. We live together, but I feel no ownership over the house. Almost everything in the space is his, while I just want to live minimally. When we go on holiday, he does ...
