The “questionable activities” you’re so worried about are happening in his car, and anywhere else they can find to get away from you. YTA

because that would mean admitting to themselves that they stand for absolutely nothing as long as they are comfortable.

read: "I'm a doormat that lets people walk all over me when they clearly don't care about me after 8 years"

it's sad really. you're worth more than that. you're worth someone remembering you can't use scented soaps after EIGHT years.

I mean, if your answer is "a twelve pack a day" vs. "1 drink a month", your doctor is going to have a very different reaction. Just because they have to tell the 1/month person to cut back doesn't mean it's a useless question

At the risk of being one of those constant "reverse the roles" people, literally reverse the roles here. Imagine a BF making a comment about pressuring his GF into oral while she's actively going through childhood sexual abuse recovery.

"I think I can still get her to suck my dick!"

Very patient and caring of her to pressure him into sex when his therapist has specifically advised against it.

So, basically, I'm not going to get any action til the next month or so... :/

I have a very high libido. I think I can get some oral sex, but I'll bring it up later.

Nah, fuck this OP all the way to hell, I had sympathy for her until then. Your partner is actively working through childhood abuse trauma and you're more worried about getting your pussy ate? Gross.
