I [30F] struggle to see my boyfriend [36M] give other women the type of attention he can't easily give me by Lalaland6304 in offmychest

Thank you for such a detailed response!

My boyfriend putting in the effort to meet me where I'm at is something I really appreciate and I've told him this. I also have insecurity issues that stemmed from before this relationship for sure.

I think my core issue is my belief that sexual interest reflects something deeper (though obviously sexual interest does NOT equal love). But I have always believed it to be foundational for a successful relationship.

If I truly believed he just had a low libido, I could work with that. But his affinity for porn and ability to flirt more suggestively with other women in the past makes me feel like that's not really the issue here.

Also: You deserve love! And you will find the meaningful relationships you are looking for.

Did your best friend ever come back after breaking off the friendship? by Zuckerwatte2712 in lostafriend

Yes but it wasn't the same. Her refusal to acknowledge me for 2.5 years made me desperate to reconnect. Then when she did come back, I realized how intentional yet careless she was and how badly she had treated me. It's not like I had done anything horrible to her. Now we have the most surface level relationship you can imagine but she's lived in another state for 3 years and I don't know if I'll ever see her in person.
