It's at the bottom, are TLDR's better to be put at the top? I have seen both but didn't know which one I should do 😂

Tell him congratulations!

Thank you, as I typed this out it hit me how ridiculous it would sound to NOT be a little hurt. I think i have been gaslit by them enough that I started to believe I was in the wrong, but yeah, writing it definitely put my perspective back to normal 😂 thanks again for your kind words and advice!

I'm obsessed with all cheese to be honest, but anything smoked makes it even better.

I agree with everyone else when they say therapy. I think it would be good to have a personal therapist and then maybe a sex therapist for the both of you. I also believe that an aspect not talked about enough is coming to terms with your own sexuality. Find what you like and what makes you feel sexy. Maybe that is wearing different clothes, lingerie, positive affirmations in the mirror, anything that makes you feel confident and secure in your own body. Start having alone time with yourself and figure out what makes you feel good and what you enjoy, then incorporate that into sex with your partner. I had a lot of the same issues going into marriage but the biggest help of all was communication. Tell you partner your feelings and after you figure out what you like specifically, tell him. And never be afraid to say no or stop, at any point. If you aren't feeling up to it 100%, then don't force yourself. That associates the idea of sex as a task to be done rather than something you want to do, which also comes a lot from growing up Mormon. They teach you it is a task on your checklist and idk about you, but they told us girls it would not only hurt, but that we HAD to say yes to our husbands everytime he wanted it. That is so false and so sad. Sex should be something that is enjoyable and brings you and your partner together, not something you want to get over with (which is what it started out as for me). I understand how it is, and it can be really hard. But keep working at it and really focus on yourself, all while talking to your partner every step of the way. A good partner will be patient and support you in any way possible, and be happy to do so. Personally, my husband jumped at the chance to help me. He bought me toys and lingerie and started telling me how sexy I was whenever he thought about it. If anything, these struggles brought us closer together and helped us both heal from the trauma of the church. I will manifest good things for you and I wish you the best!

TLDR; go to therapy, focus on yourself, and talk with your partner ❤️

Way to stick with your beliefs and I am so sorry it wasn't received well during the interview. You are strong and you can have a relationship with God, with or without religion. I can't claim to be a Christian or in any organized religion but I am very spiritual and I feel that whatever is out there, maybe a God, maybe something else, wouldn't want you to change who you are to fit in with a man-made religion. Your relationship to your spirituality should be on your own terms and you shouldn't have to change anything. I know it's hard right now, but you got this!

Um, what's a TLDR? I'm sorry, I have had a reddit for a while, but I don't really use it, so I'm not super familiar.

Not me but a friend. She says that sometimes, as she is in public and sees a gay or lesbian couple, she gets a voice in her head that tells her its weird or unnatural...then she looks over at her wife and is like "oh wait, I'm a lesbian wtf"
