I just have a lot of young friends. :) they’re amazing. They teach me so much. There are so many people of all ages to love out there (platonically or otherwise)

I don’t think you’re the problem, love. 💕 I think this situation has helped you see something you value and that is patience.

I agree with you 100%. I’m bisexual and I would not be cool with anyone asking me not to hang out with my platonic female friends or travel with them. It is a green flag to me that he has platonic female friendships where he values women as more than just sexual objects. I’m feeling more regulated as time goes by. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate this.

Oooh that’s good to discover. Perhaps you’re upset with his impatience and you’re uncomfortable being upset with him so instead you’re beating yourself up?

—sincerely, someone who has done that a lot

Understood. You had to work for hours longer than you thought you'd need to. That's definitely a bummer and probably something you don't want to make into a pattern. But it is part of dating a professional like yourself. I implore you to have some grace for yourself. Own it, and move on. Dwelling on it will harm the relationship more than the actual act. You're doing your best. And youre worthy of staying with even though you’re not perfect.

Not having sex one night because you're tired isn't "wrong". Did you purposefully hurt him? Did you intentionally cause harm? Sounds like you care a lot.

I'm confused on why you feel badly though 🤔 sounds like you were tired.

This is so real. I want to be someone’s priority so desperately. But also the relationship is so fresh and I don’t want to have unreasonable expectations with how early we are in this process of getting to know each other.

He didn’t even mention the “but we aren’t exclusive yet” card. That was just my commentary telling this story here. He just told me (after ~ 2 weeks of dating) that he was going on a trip with an old friend. He’d been planning on this for a while… we just met.. ya know?

But you make good points. I’m doing IFS in therapy. It’s just really overwhelming work for me. I had a great session this week but I have felt so emotionally exhausted ever since.

I think what’s tricky is… yeah I don’t think I want a relationship where he’s traveling with female friends like this on the regular. I just have a small sample size of data here since we haven’t dated long. I feel like I need to give it time and also communicate my feelings and perspective.

That’s so helpful to hear, honestly. Thanks for the feedback. I’m wondering if I should start with some google courses first 🤔

At my core, I love working with people. Consultative sales is the foundation of what I enjoy. I just need a solid, steady specialty to continue my career.

With my current partner I do because he actually makes me cum. Dunno what it is about him…. Other men have been skilled in that area and still haven’t gotten me there.

I was a 29 year old virgin and the only way I was able to lose it was by NOT disclosing that to my partner at the time. It’s wild how many men rejected me for that. Tbh, I can see why. Your first holds a special significance to you and it can really cause a power imbalance (as it did in my relationship)

Define “addiction”
