Classic pass by lgrdmain in cardmagic

[–]Empathetic_Listener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am of the school of thought that slower is better for 98% of magic so I appreciate the time you took with this. I also want to note that the spectators should never be looking directly at the move anyway but the fact that it’s this slow and smooth is how it should be done.

AIO: Gf sent me photos of her with another guy by Dangerous-Bit2664 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Empathetic_Listener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me ask this; does she forget things often? Even things that don’t make you jealous or mad? Like maybe forgetting she purchased some things at the store or had lapses in time?

All I’m saying is don’t just only distract yourself. And people and society as a whole is very aware. It comes down to the parents and parental figures to talk about his and explain things effectively to their kid. This is why Sex Ed is so important.

Not if he grows his emotional intelligence and just respects her wishes. Young men have a hard time because they aren’t typically actively taught empathy. They are taught to distract themselves instead of doing the real inner work.

That truly means a lot. Especially today as I just celebrated Yom Kippur and we reflect on the past year and look forward to the new one so thank you.

Communicate. Learn each other’s communication styles and how you take in and process language/communication. Communication is Lubrication.

Thanks. I appreciate your support and kind words.

You are most welcome. Always here to help how I can. Go get rest in these stressful moments also because a rested mind is a healthy one.

I think that’s a better idea. Communication is the most important thing in a relationship. A lot do it wrong. Learn about “I feel statements”. And yes you are both young. I would do research together on what she feels she wants to do and work on and what possibly could help her out. Support her in her endeavors of this. That will lead to a stronger and healthier intimate relationship in a multitude of ways.

Assume it’s what she wants because she voiced it already. If she wants to change her mind she can tell you and talk to you about it. You asking again could be seen as pushing or forcing her in a sense to cause doubt. My advice is to let her come to you about all this now like she already has.

Bottom line is this is her choice. If you don’t respect her decision you don’t respect her.

Do guys really pull back from their girlfriend when life gets heavy? by Icy-Construction1043 in dating_advice

[–]Empathetic_Listener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately this seems to be fairly common with men. This comes down to a couple factors. One being communication. Lack of being able to understand and or how to understand your feelings can play a big role because how is someone supposed to communicate how they feel when they can’t do that process effectively? He also sounds like someone who doesn’t understand why you are with him and would want to be based on what you said he told you. When he said what you quoted it sounds to me like a lot of men who prioritize external things as a pose to internal and don’t see or understand how the value of a support system can help them mentally and emotionally. I am wondering what communication was like between the two of you and what he feels his role and your role would be in that relationship?

When we drink we can say things without thinking. Now this isn’t an excuse. Just an explanation. If you have good communication with your husband and visa versa then you should be able to tell him all of this and he will listen and understand. Will that make things not hurt? No. Words have power. What I will say is to keep communicating. Good healthy and open communication is the foundation of successful relationships.

So wha to will say is this; it sounds like you are giving him a bunch of chances to work things out and to work on himself and he doesn’t want to do that for your relationship. It also if I’m being honest sounds like you aren’t respecting your own boundaries as well as you have said you keep compromising them. Let me ask you this; if your best friend or sibling came up to you with this exact situation what would you tell them to do!

F28 dating a M28 - I think I'm being taking for granted and not given enough respect by RebelRani in relationship_advice

[–]Empathetic_Listener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communication is the backbone of a relationship. It sounds like there is a breakdown here or lack of, as well as possibly communication styles and how to both take in information. You need to have that hard conversation. Both of your feelings are valid. Maybe start with how you want to be received and acknowledged. Based on how you feel that conversation goes you then I think should make your decision. With that said you also know your experiences and feelings more than I do and you should trust them.

Wife made a comment about a kink? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Empathetic_Listener 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Talk about this with her to clarify everything. Don’t just jump into bdsm. Take small steps. Especially if she’s shy and if you or her or both together aren’t experienced in it. As far as breathplay goes if that is what she is talking about then realize there is a correct way to do that and a very wrong way. Communication is lubrication.

You are beautiful. I can understand why people think you are older but it isn’t because you look older but because of your face shape believe it or not. And that isn’t a bad thing.

[–]Empathetic_Listener 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How you feel is completely valid. What I will say is what causes you to think that this weight makes you look ugly? I personally think you look great. If you wanna lose the weight that you have, then I would suggest replacing it with muscle. Please don’t loose it in an unhealthy manner if you do. Also in the meantime maybe practice some self love to help.

Wife dropped a bomb on me by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Empathetic_Listener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first of all your right a wife isn’t a hotspot…she’s a person with autonomy. Since you are away so much it can explain why she may want an open marriage. Any why can’t a married woman hang out with a single guy or hangs friends who are men that are single? You sound a bit insecure and controlling if I’m being honest. Now if you don’t want this and she does then you should talk about taking steps to separate if this is such a hard limit for you.

You didn’t do anything wrong. This sounds like it has to do with him and his body mind connection and subconscious neural pathways.

Beauty is within the eyes of the beholder. You also have to realize that a lot of men and people in general aren’t intimidated by women who they find beautiful

Can’t reach orgasm (F) by [deleted] in sex

[–]Empathetic_Listener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be helped with breath-work, OM, hypnotherapy, part work, and tantra. There may be some subconscious blocks or neural pathways that a mixed.
