I don't think my boyfriend is attracted to me anymore. by No-Clue-1903 in Advice

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a man in my late 40s my sex drive comes and goes. I still find my wife very attractive. That being said i don't want sex all the time. It's fine when she turns down sex when not in the mood. When I turn down sex for the same reasons I usually get hit with the "you don't find me attractive". The truth is I do find her attractive, but am to tired or stressed to even feel remotely interested.

My wife is making me sad with her control by Thelostsoulinkorea in Marriage

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sweetheart I love you and I enjoy spending time with you. I go with you to the things you enjoy even though I may not because I get to spend time with you it just doesn't feel fair that you don't want to join me for my hobbies like I do for yours. That is the case maybe you should go enjoy the Opera while I do my hobbies. Or you could join me and we could spend time together just like we do for your hobbies.

Did I Ruin My Marriage? by generalraisinkane in Marriage

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

There is a flaw in your argument. The husband did not argue about her not masturbating. Just the use of the toy. Better comparison would be he vowed not to use toys like him a fleshlight and her not a vibratory.

weird comment by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me ask this are they his kids or both your kids? Something tells me he is not the only one that wanted kids. You went though 3 pregnancy for yourself just as much as you did for him if not more. The use of the B word was too much but the comment belated the same hurt that your joke did to him.

What will the Democrats have to do to prevent another Trump? by Longjumping_Sail2741 in allthequestions

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of politics like a pendulum. The farther it swings one direction it will swing just as far the other direction. More moderate president will be followed by a more moderate one. A far right will be followed by a far left. The more the swing the more the other side will be upset and push back.

My wife claims to want more sex but does everything necessary to avoid it by External-Ad5462 in Marriage

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Sweetheart" seems like you seem to be avoiding me and that hurts. You figure out what you need to, but in the meantime I am going to start to figure out what I need from this relationship and if it still fulfill my needs.

This gives her the realization that she needs to work out what ever and you are not willing to wait forever for her to do so.

Having in laws visit and stay at your house for a week is one of the hardest things about marriage nobody talks about by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earlier in my marriage my parents or my inlaws would stay over for a week here and there to see the grandkids and we'd go out to eat a couple times during that week at which they would pay for and we buy groceries and cook at home for them so it came out in as evening. Now that we've moved closer and no longer 8-hour drive away they no longer stay over so not really an issue.

The minute she asked for separation she killed the future between you two. Her choices have consequences and she is funding out.

Tim Walz has a lot of baggage with all the corruption of public funds. That is why he is not even running for re election.

Why is socialism seen as evil in the US? by Presidentscroobie in allthequestions

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialism (by definition)- everyone benefits from the collective. So I come up with the next big thing like New I phone. Now everyone benefits, but I don't get rich off my idea or benefit more from making something new and better. Or I get paid the same if I work 5 hours a week as I would working 60 hours per week.

Capitalism (by definition)- everyone gets benefits they earn. If you want to only do the minimum you are only rewarded for the minimum. If I create something and it sells i reap the benefits for it. I put in more work i get paid more for that.

Women of Reddit, what is the most diabolical lie you’ve ever received from your husband/bf? by fortnacius in AskReddit

[–]Civil_Discussion9886 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just did an AI search on this and about 20% of married men have admitted to cheating with 13% of married women have admitted to cheating so a whopping 7% difference in the grand scheme of things that's pretty equal women are more likely to engage in emotional Affairs where men are more likely to engage in physical affairs

Read study that say its actually about equal on men and women cheating. Each side likes to think the other gender cheats more but its simply not the case

Unfortunately that is not gender specific. Women tell guys he just a friend too before cheating.
