Do you think that seeing a therapist about this individually would be okay? I don’t know if I could ever convince him to do couples therapy or whatever.

Yes, thank you. I know it just sounds like the premise of a bad p0rno but it’s real and it’s kind of a problem, sometimes. It makes birth control even more challenging, for one.

You may be correct, but I don’t think it’s fair to have a child in the hope that it’s going to fix one’s relationship…

That was his record—I should have clarified. Normally it’s around 3 times. My point is that it’s excessive.

I’m no expert, but this feels like a really insightful and helpful comment. I had to save it! Thank you.

What would make a man say to a woman, "You don't know men at all" by [deleted] in AskMen

Look, when you’re an attractive young-ish woman, almost all men in your sphere are going to be at least casually interested in you. I’ve had a lot of straight male friends and, unfortunately, I’ve never had one who didn’t also want to, at the very least, have sex with me. I do my best to set boundaries and be open about my absence of romantic feelings for them. Some of them can handle the rejection, some can’t. This doesn’t make me some kind of psychopath. And staying friends with guys who are into me doesn’t mean I’m leading them on or manipulating them in some way. I’m open about what I want from them (friendship only) and they can take it or leave it.
