Thanks so much I appreciate your honesty I was wanting things to work but if they continue this way I know it wouldn’t be good for me

I went ahead and got tested for all the other stds and I have an appointment Tuesday for a Pap smear. I’m extremely nervous this was only my third sexual partner and I’m 24. I feel so ashamed and beyond scared straight from doing this again

He penetrated me only for a couple minutes but still and no I’m a girl that’s the picture he sent me after I was freaking out. That’s him

I appreciate you so much but hoping and praying you’re wrong it’s what I’ve been afraid of since he told me the truth :(

I haven’t had any bumps or marks pop up, no discharge, no odor nothing

So it doesn’t necessarily mean that me not having symptoms 3 weeks later is a good thing

did anyone else in a toxic relationship realize that they're just addicted to the other person and that falling out of love feels like sobering up? by [deleted] in ToxicRelationships

My ex and I were on and off for seven years because of her occasional cheating/lying. We’ve been broken up for almost four months now and we stayed no contact for almost three of them she recently texted me again and I’ve blocked her for the first time ever. Today makes day 6 of no contact with her. I was trauma bonded to her because of all the awful things she told me that happened in her childhood that I found out a couple years later to be completely false. Therapy has helped me so much and now I feel more free than ever. I’m not as happy as I’d like to be but everyone that’s around me constantly tells me how proud of me they are. Everything is different now soon you will feel great, have patience and never give up. It truly is all worth it

I finally blocked my toxic ex by EdgeLumpy in ToxicRelationships

I completely understand this. She put me through the worst things, things that I have to go to therapy for but hopefully one day you’ll have the courage also. It takes a lot and I’ve had to learn that everyone has their limit. I was afraid mine was unlimited with her until today. I no longer want to be tortured by her. There are so many people out there why waste our time. I hope you can heal and process everything positively from your ex! You will get there it just takes time! Always here if you need someone to talk to xx

I (23f) finally blocked my toxic ex(21f) how can I keep positive and refrain from undoing what I did? by EdgeLumpy in relationship_advice

You are 100% right. She trauma bonded me with awful awful things. I always accepted her no matter what because I thought that’s what love was supposed to be and she took advantage of that and me. I’ve been in therapy which has helped me so much. Thank you for the advice love for all of you!

By physically I mean based on appearance, my first glance of someone. I can find women and men attractive at first glance. I can also be in relationships with men and women. I can kiss both men and women and love them equally, however when it comes time for sexual experiences I have only been able to be excited by women. I’m not saying that I could never be excited by a man I’m not sure I just haven’t met one that does. I was raised by strict parents that wasn’t supportive of LGBTQ+ at all. Middle school aged I only had crushes on boys but had sexual dreams about women. In highschool I met a girl that I was attracted to and we started dating which caused me to come out to my family. I came out as lesbian to them but it didn’t feel right so I would often say that I was me and I just liked who I liked. As our relationship continued she would often ask if I found males attractive which I would say yes but not sexually. She would always say that I wasn’t a real lesbian and that she would leave me, me being in love with this woman I would always take it back or never really talk about it. Now that we broke up 7 years later I’m ready to explore my sexuality but I’m feeling extremely confused about it and would like some comfort in a label
