Having big conversations are hot. But you also don't have to make it sound bad or nude. Something like
“Littlensillybaby's Boyfriend, just wanted to let you know that I really don't like x things (being gone down on and whatever else) and I don't cum with partners. It's nothing personal, and I absolutely adore fucking you, that's just how my body is. Those are my limits, and I would appreciate it if you don't try to push those boundaries. I have some personal trauma in my past that I think is the source of some of those feelings. I'll let you know if those boundaries change, but please don't expect that to change. (up to you if you want to give him more details than that re: your trauma, again you don't have to)
All of that said, I really do fucking love our sex, I love (and then insert all of the things you like doing with him, feel free to make it as raunchy as possible)”.
If you can do it that way, the conversation doesn't sound like you're talking about a cancer diagnosis. You can switch it from, hey these are my boundaries into, but hey here is all of the awesome stuff I DO like. It makes a naked conversation into something that hopefully ends up feeling fun, and maybe a little sexy by the end and might make you feel more comfortable with the conversation inevitably?
Oh jeez. My bf got a vasectomy in September and he's getting his sperm checked in January. I'm hoping to get off birth control in February next year. This is a new fear unlocked.
Just a girl I’m talking to and going on dates for about 4 months put that on her tinder. Gonna talk to her about exclusivity after seeing that since I thought we were on the same page. Only reason I know is bc a friend showed me on tinder
Tell him to hire a financial investor for his investments , investing money is wise but only if there is return. Or another option is a savings account with interest rates.
Anyway, the comments mum has made to me about my partner are completely out of proportion for the quote unquote “offences” that my partner has supposedly committed… this is not the first time that I have had issues with my mother in particular, she can say some absolutely cruel things, and most of those things get said without any accountability and never in front of my dad or anyone else
Honestly leave me alone and stop trolling my comments.
Children do not understand what a whip mark is, nor would be able to point out the difference of a bite or bruise, or understand the significance of a collar which just look like a choker.
The marks also aren't where anyone can see them 99.9% of the time. They are only for me to enjoy. My body, my choice. I refuse to argue about others dictating my autonomy, that is a ridiculous notion.
Okay I see your point. But in a relationship is porn so much more important than just respect your partners boundaries, I feel like watching it is good enough
The sub attracts broken people who want to project their own experiences onto other people. Someone sneezes, this sub says it's a red flag and they should break up.
OK that concerns me about the distance. It’s what people do when they start to cheat. If you’re sure she’s not doing that it may be time to sit down with her and tell her that you want and need intimacy in your relationship. That it’s not an elective it’s necessary. And then work it out. Sex is a really important thing in a relationship.
Your post was removed for the following reason(s):
Your title did not include at least two ages/genders or was not formatted correctly
Posts must:
include details about the involved parties including ages, genders, and length of relationship, and
request advice in real situations involving two or more people
We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles use the following formatting:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two. Here is an example:
I think that you may be right, and I would not believe her about the no sex. If it were that easy, she might not have broken up with you. Personally, I think she broke up with you to have sex with somebody else. Just my opinion, but I would definitely try to get her to be really honest.
So this is gonna sound like a completely unrelated story, but I promise it's not.
When I was around 19, I was going through a really tough break up. With hindsight I know now that he was starting to become abusive, but had love bombed the hell out of me, so I thought he was “the one” and I was devestated that he wanted to break up.
Anyway, I was so distraught from this that I hardly ate or slept for a week. And then, something else very tragic happened in my life; A coworker was at home with his family and there was a home invasion. Two of his children were killed and he was on life support for a day until he passed away.
The moment I heard about the coworker, I literally forgot about my ex. I was trying to visit him before he passed (but couldn't), I was texting him and others, checking in on them, I was spending time with coworkers as broken about it as I was, and then I was focusing on getting through the funeral. There was only space in my life for one tragedy, and I knew without even thinking about it, which one was more important. (The ex texted me three weeks after our breakup, wanting to reconcile, and I remember having a moment of shock when he did, as I had literally forgotten about him.)
This is all to say, that now is the moment you need to break up. Not only is it likely to have less of an emotional impact on her than you think, as she will be focusing more on her father, but on top of that, she will want to lean on her partner for emotional support that you cannot provide.
You cannot put your life on hold to wait for this to go either way. You frankly shouldn't have waited over the Christmas break, as there will always be some reason to delay the breakup if you look for one. But you can do it now, or you can wait for her father to go into remission, or god forbid, pass away. Don't do that to yourself, and don't even do that to her. She's a cheater, yes, but she should be focusing on her dad right now.
Ya you are right, thanks for this comment. I don’t think I like him. It’s just hot to meet people in my town and I guess more then anything I want someone to do things with and have some fun. But no company at all is better then bad company.
I’m confused what the problem is. Are you disappointed in him drinking? Or are you upset he didn’t see you for three days? Three days isn’t a lot. It’s been a couple months. I think you need to chill out and communicate.
It happened on Monday and I haven't brought it up. I'm usually the one who tries ending fights but I feel like he was out of line here again so I just haven't talked to him since.
The relationship started off as a lie. You tried to get over the lie and see her for the good person that she (mostly) is, but lies do have a way of creeping back up on us and it looks like that’s what’s happening now.
You could stay the course and wait until you’re 26 or 27 to have sex again, but then you run the risk of 1. Being sexually incompatible, or 2. Her getting cold feet when it’s time and your dry spell goes beyond the seven years you’ve already committed to not having sex.
You could force the issue and risk being the person you didn’t want to be.
You could also end the relationship and find someone who doesn’t lie about being a virgin.
You’re young so you have several options to choose from.
No she wouldn't. Are you serious? She is not paying for anything. She's covering nothing. She lives there because she's privileged enough to have rich parents.
do you think no one is paying for this place or utilities?
Her parents are paying for the place, and half of the utilities. OP pays for the other half of the utilities, and his girlfriend pockets a thousand dollars a month for sitting on her ass and mooching off her parents.
he is expecting a percentage of that gift. Why?
Because it doesn't make sense to give his girlfriend money for something she isn't paying for. If she doesn't want to on-line with him, she doesn't have to let him. Charging him to online there, profiting off of her parents' handout, is fucked up. Paying for utilities makes sense. Paying her PARENTS the rent money makes sense. Giving the money to his girlfriend is ludicrous. Why should he give her the money???
Having been together for not terribly long?
How long have they been together?
Is he there for her, or free rent and utilities? My guess would be the latter.
This is pure conjecture. There's nothing to suggest this, you're just choosing to view OP through the worst possible lens.
Why is everyone acting like he didn’t agree to this??
I'm not acting like he didn't agree to this. I think he shouldn't have agreed, and I think he should move out. I also think this girlfriend is a greedy, awful partner and he should probably break up with her. She's charging him $1000 a month purely out of principle, even though she herself isn't being held to that principle.
Vaccines aren’t meant to make it impossible for you to get the virus, for any given vaccine not just the Covid one, the point is to give your body the antibodies to fight it if you do catch the given virus.
I don't get what people don't understand about this. Vaccines were shown to reduce the spread and severe infections/death, not stop it entirely.
He's denied the accusations and hasn't said much about if he was living with a woman and her kids. He did however, say he's still talking to this woman and is possibly leading her on.
Fully agreed. And I’m not sure if it’s some sort of breakdown but I’ll try to talk to him from that perspective and see if he’s willing to consider it. Don’t know if he’d even be able to know if he was having a breakdown though. I personally am aware when I’m cracking apart under stress (like right now! Lol) but I’ve never done anything on THIS level. Crying in front of my thesis advisor is the worst I’ve done lol
If its a serious issue he should accept it genuinely makes you uncomfortable.
You can approach him and say, “Hey i know you just find it funny and dont mean anything bad by it. But its a stressor for me and its beginning to cross a boundary. No big deal rn but please stop”
You, yourself, need to get counselling. Sugar-coating suffocating behaviors with “trying not to be controlling” doesn't make you sound any less controlling. You are controlling. And you need to work on that alone. I stopped reading at the part where you said “now why is that???” You lack sense and empathy. I hope to God she gets the support and love necessary to get through such an Earth shattering experience.
Sorry, not everybody is going to wait around for you and hang on your every word, you're creating problems out of literally nothing. You rejected this guy multiple times, he got over it and started dating someone else. Maybe you should get over it too
I understand that, and I've said this to him. Before having seen what was said, I asked if he'd spoken to his friends about what's going on as I said I was feeling anxious about what he'd said (as much as he can talk to his friends about whatever, I'm wary of having my business discussed with others when I'm not involved to speak for myself). He told me that he would let me see what he'd said, and that he was a little anxious too about what I'd think about what he said, but overall didn't think he'd said anything wrong or that would paint me in a bad light. Obviously that wasn't the case.
He has a lot of issues himself. This is the longest and most serious relationship he's been in and he doesn't know how to navigate certain things. I can understand that to a degree, and he's learning so he can do better, but at the same time I think it's common sense to not talk shit about your partner behind their back..? There isn't really any other reason for why he did so other than 1) he has an issue with sharing details about his personal life with others, and 2) he didn't want to look like a bad guy in front of his friends. Unfortunately however, in doing so, he made me look bad.
I have seen what he has said to his friends to rectify the situation. One of them had called him out on what he'd done and for being stupid; the other one however, is still incredibly skeptical of me and thinks that I'm the problem.
Reach out and apologize for being such a coward. Admit your failure and ask if she'd still be willing to talk. But let her give you a hot time if she decides to do so. After all that, if she still wants to talk to you, be understanding and supportive.
I guess just wanting confirmation that he is as bad as I think because I was always guilted into thinking otherwise by my mom.
Having big conversations are hot. But you also don't have to make it sound bad or nude. Something like

whether you use your gut feeling, astrology, or even spider sense, you should have an opinion on things like this and write about it!
Oh jeez. My bf got a vasectomy in September and he's getting his sperm checked in January. I'm hoping to get off birth control in February next year. This is a new fear unlocked.
Just a girl I’m talking to and going on dates for about 4 months put that on her tinder. Gonna talk to her about exclusivity after seeing that since I thought we were on the same page. Only reason I know is bc a friend showed me on tinder

do you go on dates often?
He’s made mistakes, we all have made mistakes in life. It doesn’t define us.

Polygamy. He's calls it polyamory so it doesn't scare the girls away.

Sending love ?
Again, again, again, NO ONE IS ADVISING AN ACCUSATION.
She shouldn't fuck him because he's awful. She also shouldn't fuck him because he might be worse.
It happened on Monday and I haven't brought it up. I'm usually the one who tries ending fights but I feel like he was out of line here again so I just haven't talked to him since.
Then by all means find someone who isn't a hoe and a liar. Be better off (and happier) instead of wasting your energy slandering him on-line lol
The relationship started off as a lie. You tried to get over the lie and see her for the good person that she (mostly) is, but lies do have a way of creeping back up on us and it looks like that’s what’s happening now.

Kids who get handouts like this are the worst.

I don't get what people don't understand about this. Vaccines were shown to reduce the spread and severe infections/death, not stop it entirely.
If you wait for the right time, you will be 48 years old to her 65.
Gtfo. Make her problems, hers, not yours.
He's denied the accusations and hasn't said much about if he was living with a woman and her kids. He did however, say he's still talking to this woman and is possibly leading her on.
So why would you bother with this guy?
Yeah no your brother and his partner did a shitty thing that took away from you and your wife on your wedding day
He's laying the groundwork for serious abuse. Leave.
Yeah well – he cheated. Period.
Drugs are never an apology but may I ask what he took? Often we think that the control-loss on drugs is much heavier than it really is.
you didnt do anything wrong. you don’t talk about your future kids when you know you don’t want kids. your fiance fucked up
That would be like me saying my friend is like brother to me and I’m going to spend the night with him
This has to be a troll post. Someone can’t be this awful and terrible of a human being and this stupid all at once.
lol you got playyyyeeeeeddddd! and you still want to take the high road. you dumb? yes…..the answer is….yes.
Fully agreed. And I’m not sure if it’s some sort of breakdown but I’ll try to talk to him from that perspective and see if he’s willing to consider it. Don’t know if he’d even be able to know if he was having a breakdown though. I personally am aware when I’m cracking apart under stress (like right now!

Then you hire a nanny and a housekeeper seeing as you are comfortable on 1 wage, the 2nd wage can pay for them
That’s enough Reddit for the night
Reporting it as odds vs percentages won't make you right. You'll be incorrect either way. Just Google the two if you remain confused.
The comments are more civil than that unhinged animal your boyfriend keeps in his pants

I mean, we all notice pretty people when we see them. That part is reality, but none of it falls on her for accountability.
I understand that, and I've said this to him.

Honestly thank you that makes me feel a lot better… Because our relationship isn’t bad I was just driving myself crazy with the whole title thing.
I hope u noticed question mark (?) at the end of my comment.
So you’re saying I took part of their breakup?
But why does she have to message him though? It’s been over a year.
A lot of guys use them for masturbating apparently (I learned that in this sub!)
you’re right, should i just make him go to the doctor? i’ve been asking him to go for months now
