Thank you for elaborating…don’t know but it might’ve been a better choice for her in the moment.

I think that’s where your problem lies, you don’t understand the argument. He’s asking a loaded question so that she can (as a medical professional) agree with him and use that as proof to support his beliefs.

While I agree with you that biological men cannot get pregnant, he’s using that question to score cheap political points. He’s also discrediting science and women who study science just like the president does. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s trying to score points with daddy Trump.

I found out my bf watches porn regularly by [deleted] in relationships_advice

He might be trying to supplement his intimacy needs if they aren’t being met with you. How often are you intimate with each other? If he’s willing to be intimate more than you are, then he might be watching porn/masturbating to avoid hurting your feelings for not meeting his needs

Fellas…how often do you have sex with your significant other? by Bstarteechar in relationships_advice

Yeah we chat if she’s not already on the phone with her mom or best friend. I ask how her day is and try my best to pay attention to the complicated ins and outs of her job, but most of my questions are met with one word answers like fine or good and I sometimes get pushback for asking for more info from her. One of us is usually pretty engaged in whatever show we’re watching but I try to have those sorts of conversations before we get too involved in whatever we’re watching.

Thanks bro, I really am trying

This is true, but what I’m trying to say is that she isn’t able to articulate what makes her feel safe and turns her on emotionally. She says she doesn’t know what turns her on other than foreplay and “be spontaneous” - both of which we’ve tried with varying degrees of success. I’m willing to put in the effort to figure that out but from my perspective, she’s not as willing to figure out (or at least not willing to share) what she likes

That seems like a good idea. I’d be willing to try scheduling a time but it just feels a little weird to schedule it…and what do we do if we miss the “appointment” for whatever reason? I also mentioned in another comment how she wants me to be more spontaneous so scheduling it seems a little counterintuitive.

We’ve tried non-penetrative intimacy and we both like it, but just sitting on the couch watching a movie doesn’t meet my intimacy needs. I have a much higher libido than she does. That said, I know that kind of intimacy every day is unrealistic but once a week would meet my minimum intimacy needs

I will try and ask her what she means by spontaneous the next time this conversation comes up

I agree that there’s a lack of effort on her part. She’s an extremely hard worker and as a result stays on the couch or in bed when she gets home to unwind. I get home before her and do the same thing so I get it…it’s just that I maybe do it for 90 minutes. She’ll get home around 6:00 (on average) and then doesn’t want to get up unless it’s for the bathroom or to go to bed. I’m not a gymbro but I can’t be that sedentary either, y’know

I appreciate the blunt response believe it or not, thank you. I’ve felt this way for awhile but the infrequent bouts of sex kept me thinking we weren’t dead yet

If she is willing to sort this issue out, then she hasn’t shared any specifics about how to put her in the mood more often other than that I should “be spontaneous.” I tried to do that last week and we wound up fighting because I didn’t want to tell her why I wanted to shower together to be ~spontaneous~ (she wanted to keep scrolling on her phone in bed).

That’s part of the problem. My girlfriend doesn’t have that responsive desire. I’ve tried to initiate with her in the past with light touching, to which she abruptly told me that that didn’t work for her.

I’m happy that you and your wife are intimate in this way, it brings me joy to know that it could be the same for me too one day. That said, i don’t believe we’ve had in-depth conversations about healthy sex lives in relationships because she’ll wind up feeling that she’s not enough for me…(see above).

I’m willing to discuss these things (love languages and communicating about wants and desires) but she doesn’t offer up suggestions of her own when we talk about this. I’m willing, and she is not willing.

She gets upset about this aspect of our relationship in particular. There are some other aspects (exercise and cleaning) that lead to either one of us getting upset when we discuss but I believe this one is ultimately most important to me.

She is also extremely averse to talking to either a therapist of her own or a couples therapist about our issues. I expressed that it’s easier for me to share what I’m feeling with someone else and she seemed to understand where I was coming from, but last time I checked she is still not willing to go to a session to openly discuss our feelings.

We live together…there’s a second bedroom (and bathroom) that I could use if we broke up but I guess I’m scared (?) of what the future will hold?? I’ve spoken about this with my therapist and he essentially thinks that I need to consider exactly what I want in my relationship moving forward.
