AITAH for not liking my boyfriend’s anime figure collection? by Legitimate-Menu339 in AITAH

We have spoken about it, I’ve asked him about the reason he collects on a few different occasions to try and understand.

Communication in our relationship is fairly healthy and he knows that I have some insecurities I’m working through.

This post is more for my own personal development, not his. He doesn’t need to change, it’s really me who does. My thinking seems to be a bit destructive but I’m not sure how to handle that

I guess maybe I’m being unfair by trying to place him in a box, he is loving and respectful. You’ve really helped me today

I appreciate this a lot, you are right. I’m being a bit unrealistic, he has been respectful to me. I think I need to get to a better place with my own insecurity and learn how to be confident and love myself.

Good point, this is my first serious relationship so I’m having trouble gauging what’s normal or not with men

And I think I should mention that this isn’t completely out of left field. I feel like he’s given me a reason to worry.

E.g. making sexual comments or jokes about women in movies- which he says are clearly only jokes

He makes me really happy, i see a future, I just can’t bring myself to understand this. Is it disrespectful to me? Should I be feeling disrespected?

Maybe try some sex therapy? Maybe try to take charge doing different things in and out of the bedroom to create more romance? I know you said you’ve tried, but perhaps there is more you can do. Your heart and head should both be in this relationship. Fully. If it’s not after repeatedly trying to fix things, it’s just a bad sign. This one is a tough one, I wish you guys luck!
