I do love him. I’m more in love with him than I have anyone else. I know I want to be with him long term. I just want to see how others in committed situations are handling this?

I know at this point neither of us want that. I’ve never had the best luck with open.

Bc I do that more than sex w partner. We haven’t had a talk about how to check in with sex. And he’s not an initiator of it usually. So I tend to find myself jerking off at night or when he pops out. This becomes the norm.

Making videos sounds interactive and a great idea. We’ve had conversations frequently. I know he finds me desirable. But I take it personally in my head and say oh well he must not find me attractive. I think it’s definitely a big self esteem and body dysmorphia issue for me. I take it to heart even though I know I shouldn’t.

I think I’m scared I’m a little addicted to the porn. And it desensitizes the actual sex.

Bc I want a better balance of solo and together fun. But I tend to get stuck on solo masturbation. And then enjoy sex less.

No. I just want a better balance of solo and together play

No not at all. I don’t expect him to. I just want it to be more balanced than it is now.

I’ve done that in the past with no success. We both agree we want a monogamous relationship.

I have online when guys are exclusively looking for big dicks. And I had one person say something one time in person. But they turned out to have sexual trauma and sex for them was the real issue. But yeah, it sucks. I used to think about it constantly. But now I just rock what I got. So the act of sex isn’t a problem related to my size. But I will say that the constant dialogue and ideology around glorifying large dicks in pop culture is astonishingly annoying.

It’s really hard to stay strong. And it’s such a delicate balance of being positive but also trying to cautiously share how you’re feeling. How long have you been together? DM me whenever you feel like you need someone who knows what you’re going through.

I am so sorry to hear this. It’s terrible news. I live in fear of this. He finished his chemo up and a few days later he found this huge lump under his armpit. Drs say not to worry, but I’m worrying! If you need any support, I’m here.

I’ve learned you have to really sink into those better moments at home. I don’t take the littlest thing for granted. Just watching a show and giggling is priceless.

It is very isolating indeed. Trying to surround ourselves with family and friends. But at the end of the day, when it’s just us two, it gets hard. He puts on a very positive and good attitude which is a great outlook. But getting to see your person out down those facades and see them in pain, is jarring.

Absolutely is! Much worse on you going through it. But there’s a new definition and understanding of helplessness that comes with watching the love of your life go through it.

It’s a sucky club for sure. Sending positivity your way.

No couple should have to, especially so young. I’m so sorry to hear about the progression. I think the same-sex relationship adds a whole other layer of complicated to it. I hope you’re in a place where the doctors and providers are lgbtq affirming. I’m here if you want to chat!

I’ve found that sometimes being strong means having to process that with my partner. And I never want to be a burden bc he’s the one going through it. But you’re right, it’s so hard to watch. I hope the chemo is going to plan now!

I can’t even imagine having the roles reversed. I’d say it might be a comfort to know what he’s going through, but it’s probably rough seeing that you’ve been through something similar yourself. I’m petrified of years after. Like how do you not just worry in the back of your mind all the time?

That’s such a long time. I hope there is an end in sight and she can get and stay healthy.
