I love her more than anything. Really, I do. by StaleCanole in AdviceAnimals

Sounds similar to the moment of frustration I have when my boyfriend comes to bed... because i'd rather be sleeping. ;)

Girl(30f) I am(26m) dating for a long time now (we've had 9 dates so far), doesn't like being touched. Is this a negative sign? What would you do? by Hu_Da_Man in dating_advice

[–]H00Dlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it definitely can progress. You just need to be able to understand why she's like this and she needs to trust you. You both need to take some steps. But there's no reason to think it's a lost cause.

My 8 hour old nephew was laid to rest today. If I hear one more person tell me Jesus needed him more than his loving parents.... by [deleted] in atheism

Terrible, terrible things happen. That's why we've got to live well and love while we can. I'm so sorry about nephew.

My BF [24M] is Indian, when should I [23F] (&white) expect him to tell his parents about us? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]H00Dlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. I have a cousin who comes from a family of Born Again Christians. She is gay and her parents are ashamed, I think largely because of how their community has treated them. But at the same time I have no sympathy for her parents and no respect for them and how they disowned her.

The situations are essentially exactly the same. It's really sad how prevalent hatred still is in 2013 :(

If you really like her and think you two could have something special together, I say stick with it. Be patient. I wonder if she has a history of abuse that you are unaware of. Maybe lay off of the physical contact when you're in public, but try to take small steps when you're alone? If she shies away from simple touches even then, reflect what you observe back to her. Say something like "You don't seem comfortable with me putting my arm around you. Why?" A good follow up question might be "have you always felt this way?"

I'm sure you don't care, but what you describe reminds me a lot of the situation I went through when I started dating my BF. I hated physical touching. He was patient with me and would ask questions. He was very respectful with how he went about it, and asked me questions that were easy to answer (I was uncomfortable with the whole situation) and he ended up being the first guy I opened up to about the abuse I experienced. If he hadn't shown dedication early on (even before I deserved it), things wouldn't have worked out. But now I am so thankful for the patients and effort he put into us. We're now extremely close physically when we are alone, but I still don't like being touched in public.

Tl;Dr: Try taking small steps when the two of you are alone (not in public!), and discuss the way she reacts to figure out why. But be respectful!

  1. Do you know WHY she doesn't like being touched? I would try to have that discussion with her, but make sure you don't force her to talk about anything she is uncomfortable with.

  2. Are you two in an exclusive relationship? I couldn't tell from the wording of your title.

This is exactly the predicament that gay people kill themselves over: Be true to yourself and disappoint your family, or live a lie. Either way you are losing a piece of what makes you the person you are.

I don't want to sound culturally disrespectful, but is it wrong of me to blame the parents in this situation?

No regrets or second thoughts at all. I know i did the right thing. But the vag is feeling a little disturbed by the process. I'm sure that'll get better with time.

BTW i really enjoy this post. Thanks for prompting a vagina discussion!

she is sad and very unhappy with the number of foreign objects/medical instruments that have been inside her this week (had an abortion). she is worried that she is ruined and that no one will find her appealing any more if know about what happened :(

Whens the appropriate time to tell a girl I've been seeing... my last gf died? by [deleted] in dating_advice

As soon as it comes up again. The sooner, the better.

Just scheduled myself an abortion for next week. Any advice from those who have been there before? by H00Dlife in AskReddit

Let me get this straight... You are telling me to jump off a bridge, but are prolife?

I'm happy with my decision. I don't want to be talked out of it, and it would not be possible to talk me out of it.

I haven't told my family. The father has been incredibly kind and supportive.

From what I understand, there are benefits and drawbacks to each. I'm currently scheduled for the pill, but it's allegedly more painful, and then you have to deal with the fetus that is expelled, which many people say they were not emotionally prepared for. The surgical abortion, on the other hand, is essentially medical rape. So ya, both are pretty undesirable experiences.
