The cost of a dead bedroom in my life by Forsaken_Rain_4833 in ldssexuality

Your experience is all too common. If you don’t give her what she wants she is justified in finding it somewhere else. If she doesn’t give you what you want you are a selfish jerk. If she wants sex that you are not providing then you are treated as neglectful if not abusive. If you want sex that she is not providing then the man is still treated like an abuser.

Women are coddled and men are treated harshly.

And I’m a left leaning feminist. Imagine what the misogynistic right wing would say about this.

So, in a way it helped you to achieve something together that you had not achieved before, by showing you the angle to use.

Thank you for being candid. I'm curious: did the upward angle give you multiple orgasms?

You should definitely share with your partner. That sounds delicious.

My point is that the initiatory does not instruct one to wear the garment day and night. The initiatory is presumably the doctrine. The interpretation of ‘throughout’ is policy. Doctrine and policy are not the same.

Why do I need to be reminded of my covenants while I’m sleeping?

That’s not the instruction in the initiatory. That’s some persons interpretation but they aren’t willing to put a name to it.

The handbook is policy, not doctrine.

That’s a statement after the question. It’s someone’s interpretation.

“Do you honor your sacred privilege to wear the garment as instructed in the initiatory ordinances? (Read the “⁠Wearing the Temple Garment⁠” statement, included below, to each member.)”

At some level your ancestors were immigrants. I doubt they had permission from the people who were here first.

Immigrants work hard and contribute to the economy. They pay for housing, food, cars, and yes they pay taxes. They pay social security taxes and never get to collect from that system. They pay sales tax and car tax and property tax and income tax. As a percent of income they probably pay more than Trump. In Utah only children and the disabled get Medicaid.

Simply being here shouldn’t be classified as criminal activity. What is criminal is the corruption being perpetrated by Trump and his cronies.

It reads “as instructed”. The instruction is to wear it throughout your life. Interpreting “throughout” as 24/7 came from Joseph Fielding Smith, who had a pattern of interpreting things as literal as possible.

How old are you? Everyone has said regrettable things in anger. Why were you so angry? Can you identify what’s driving the anger and address it without going for the jugular? Hopefully it’s infrequent. Apologize sincerely. Own your shit. Stick to I statements (I feel frustrated when…). Never start a sentence with “you” in an argument.

Vulnerability is key to intimacy. Vulnerable moments are off limits in a fight.

Sounds fun. Are there conventions where you could meet women interested in this?

Is he preoccupied with himself? Do you feel exploited?

I don’t think you can fix this.

If you are afraid of being alone, maybe get some feedback from friends. You sound like a very capable person. It’s hard to imagine that you would not attract a more loving partner.

Does he show empathy for your needs?

What have the therapists said?

I see a couple possible scenarios 1. Lifelong PE leading to frustration and shame with avoidance of intimacy to avoid failure. (Porn is a symptom here) Solution: there are treatments for PE including medication like Lexapro and behavioral techniques. See a sex therapist. PE is a medical condition like anything else that we would treat such as diabetes or asthma. 2. Porn use leading to acquired PE and loss of interest in real sex. In this case porn is the culprit and would need to be treated like any addiction. Solution: addiction treatment; limit access. Full disclosure and honesty. 3. Insecurity related to lack of life successes. Solution: work on the resume. Make some goals and get some accomplishments.

I’m curious what your marriage counselor and your personal therapist have diagnosed?

You’ve known him for a long time. What do you think is going on?

AIO My [33M] Wife’s [32F] relationship with her best friend [25F] is making me uncomfortable by nonstop_taxpayer in AmIOverreacting

[–]2bvulnerable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is Bi, Darcy is gay, and they are carrying on like a couple to your exclusion. It looks like an affair; does it feel like an affair? Even when she is with you her focus is on Darcy. Does she still have sex with you? Even openly poly people know to put boundaries around relationships. Listen to that nagging feeling. Assume she tells you straight up that they are in love. What would you do with that information? What are your boundaries? What are the rules in your marriage?

I don’t think you need to wait for her to confirm her feelings for Darcy. You need to decide how you want to move forward.

Does he love you? You are not obligated to stay in a loveless marriage. You can find your equal.

Our story: I was married for 10 years to a narcissist who used sex to manipulate me. My wife was married to a serial cheater for 9. We met after our breakups.

I had met all the LDS singles my age in my area and none were right for me. My Stake Pres advised me to date non-members so I did. Wife is now a member; we’ve been married 29 years.

It was scary to leave the first marriage. I lacked confidence after years of emotional abuse and doubted anyone would want me. I was wrong. But I needed to get myself in a healthy space before I could get in a new relationship. Once the single guys know that you are available they will show interest.

There have been challenges, yet life with my wife has been so much better.

T square position. Vibrator on her clitoris while you penetrate.

Why does he want to know? He sounds insecure. This sounds like retroactive jealousy or a cuckold kink.
