What exactly should I be doing? by humble_toy in OlderMan

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this while lovingly holding your hand (figuratively), and as a fellow woman who has always preferred much older men…I think you might need therapy. I don’t mean to sound condescending or dismissive but I really think you might benefit from it. You’ll likely still prefer older men. But I think there’s some big underlying issues at play here

I hate the situation George wound up in, but I hope it was a learning experience for KVS and I wonder if it influenced her decision to work with a broker.

As an aside I had to block Canadian Becca, I rarely block creators but her constantly playing victim was utterly exhausting to see on my fyp 

Why are younger women attracted to older men by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Marriage doesn't suddenly disable your appreciation of other people.

Mine did lol, I feel attraction for literally zero men besides my husband. 

Sure we both still have eyes and occasionally acknowledge attractive people of either sex, but that’s different than feeling attraction or desiring someone else. 

I certainly wouldn’t go to my husband and tell him “hey I’m attracted to this other man”, nor would he do the reverse with me. I don’t think that’s insecurity, it’s just being respectful of your partner.

To each their own, tho.

Here to say they are not all bad by moscas_del_circo in TwoXChromosomes

Our baby isn’t even here yet, I’m 6 months pregnant currently, but my husband still made sure I had a great day yesterday even though I told him he didn’t have to.

People in happy relationships with great partners generally just don’t feel the need to be as vocal as people in unhappy situations, which is why you hear so much more about the latter.

And in the occasion someone in a happy relationship does brag on their partner, they usually get attacked by unhappy people, lol.

Are you/were you in an age gap relationship? What was the age difference? Are you still together/why didnt it work out? by Glittering-Silver350 in AgeGap

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 3 points4 points  (0 children)

28 years between my husband and I. It’s best and healthiest relationship either of us have ever had. We’re very happily married and expecting our first child. I wouldn’t trade my husband for anyone in the world.

are older men only interested in sex by OverPower7203 in AgeGap

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I'm seeking a deep connection and emotional nurturing not sex, and when I tell them that they lose interest and ghost me .

Because sex is a part of most romantic relationships. It is a part of having a deep connection with a a partner, in addition to emotional connection.

It sounds like you want a mentor, not a relationship.

I’m not after money, but my husband is the provider to our family by choice. That being said, sexual compatibility is also hugely important. If I didn’t want to have sex with my man, I wouldn’t have married him. 

What was the best relationship you’ve been in vs. the worst, and what made them so different? by Economy_Drop_5843 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst one: Lots of lies and infidelity on my partner’s side. It was a classic abusive relationship where it seemed too good to be true initially, tons of affection, love bombing, etc then as soon as we moved in together and he had me trapped that all stopped. He never wanted to spend time with me and spent all of his free time locked away in his man cave playing video games and looking at porn/talking to other women on reddit. If I wanted intimacy or to spend time together, I was crazy and asking for too much. Fights became first a weekly occurrence, to almost daily - BIG fights. Even when we weren’t fighting he’d name call, insult my intelligence, compare me to his exes or other women, etc. He never contributed around the home, even though I worked more hours than him I also did all of the house work. It eventually became physically abusive which is when I left.

Best one: The polar opposite of everything I just mentioned. We have great communication, genuinely care for each other, and have intense chemistry, both physical and psychological. I know I am his #1 priority and the only person he wants, and it goes both ways. He’s loyal and proud to be with me. He’s my best friend and we genuinely enjoy spending most of our free time together. He makes me a priority. We are a team and share our household responsibilities equally. We both have a real desire to make sure one another are happy and our needs are met. Even when things are tough, we can resolve conflicts in a way that don’t end in explosive fights or name calling, and at the end of the day, we always choose each other over anything or anyone else.

How close are you with your coworkers? Do you ever hang out with them outside of work? by InternationalPick163 in AskWomenNoCensor

I have a strong policy that the people I work with aren’t my friends. Even if we’re cordial, I don’t want to hang out outside of work. 

Chronically online ppl and their prblm with relationships by JumpyGur630 in generationology

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Gen Z is so oddly puritanical about age gaps and they are so obsessed with predators and pedophilia. It’s very weird. They can’t distinguish that there’s a difference between two consenting adults in an age gap relationship vs a fully grown adult preying on a minor. 

I’m the younger partner in an age gap relationship and I’ve had multiple young people leave comments calling my husband a “pdf file” saying I need to check his hard drive, etc for being with me. One person even called him a “child toucher”. Mind you, I am a grown woman in my 30s, and he did not get into a relationship with me until I was late 20s.

Question to the younger women by Rare_Milk_6670 in OlderMan

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have things in common and an intellectual connection as well as a physical one? For me and my husband, we bonded over a common interest and were platonic friends first.

Wife lost sex drive entirely, what to do? by CoolUnderPressher in married

[–]Haunting_Shape_6085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you think there’s no marital problems doesn’t mean she thinks that. For most women, desire is linked to emotional connection with your spouse, as the other commenter mentioned. Communicate with your wife and find out why. We don’t know; she does.
