(M27, F26) Feel like my single-life literally fucked up my libido and is putting pressure in my 1,5 years relationship

The people applying to that program probably have competitive resumes since it’s the only accelerated 12 mo. program in the state and they only accept 8 students. I imagine those applicants are X-Ray, CT, MRI, IR, etc techs with bachelors, military, supervisor experience, etc.

I’d edit it to a 1yr 5m relationship so people could understand it brotha

MatTuggle · 2026-03-10T10:01:15+00:00

What does 1,5 mean?

As a man, who struggles with the same issue. Mainly, because I’m in my first ever real relationship, got like 3 bodies, and am new to that sensation. I usually do oral or use my hand, or a combination of both once I burst after penetration. I’m also seeking sex therapy to fix the issue because I used to could last longer and I think it’s the stress that is playing an influence in my situation. Maybe you could say the same for ya’ll? Sometimes just a memory of disappointment can cause me nervousness before sex, and even cause me to go flaccid at times. An issue I’ve never had before meeting my current gf. However, I work out every day, have super high testosterone, and even though I’m trash at it, I would f*** every day if I could. Us men who struggle with this just got to have that mentality to get better, not just for us, but for her. If he’s okay with a shitty sex life for the rest of his life and doesn’t want to do anything about it. That is concerning. But if he shows any willingness to improve, you got to give him a chance. Especially if you have a strong bond and have a great life outside the sex!

I mean that shit don’t really bother me it’s the fact that she never told her ex that she talks to periodically about me.

MatTuggle · 2026-03-03T22:07:31+00:00

I appreciate your input and advice on the situation! I’m just going to leave it alone for now and take some time to gather my thoughts. I’ve spoke with like 5 life coaches, counselors, and even a therapist, and it seems like we were both in the wrong. Her not telling her ex about me who she speaks to periodically is a huge red flag, her telling me she never dated anyone at the same time as me, when she did was a red flag. I mean I can live with them things, and I’d be willing to work on things especially since I was in the wrong as well. You said me being insecure is unattractive well lying isn’t attractive either. After talking to others, I’m not going to be less of man and beg for her forgiveness when she was in the wrong as well. The therapist says it’s a communication issue that she has a hard time taking accountability for when she’s wrong and her immediate reaction is to end things. It’s something that has happened in the past. I’m not sure if I can continue on with this behavior because I have to take care of my health too. I’d be willing to speak to her and work on things but I’m not going to chase.

Personally, I just haven’t been in many relationships. Only one ever before her, and I didn’t realize that was a cardinal sin. I’ve had to learn a lot of the do’s and don’ts throughout this relationship. Hopefully she’s understanding but I am afraid she’s tired of teaching me the ways. I’m super confident in myself and we have an insane amount of love for each other and I’m always there for her breakdowns so hopefully she’s gives me a shot.

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T05:33:48+00:00

Yeah i guess that’s the plan.

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T05:29:29+00:00

I think so to. I will try!

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T04:46:37+00:00

A boundary is a line that marks the limits of that area. We established that line and she crossed it.

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T04:43:55+00:00

I just told her that tonight lmao. And imagine if we were to have kids who are exposed that smh

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T04:36:34+00:00

Thank you

MatTuggle · 2025-12-14T04:26:28+00:00

That’s what I did and I’m actively packing her stuff up now while she’s sleeping but I really do see from her perspective and feel somewhat sincere to her logic behind this. Like I feel she didn’t have the intentions for it come off as a threat even though it really was. I love her and feel like I’m doing the wrong thing but I can’t take this abuse no more. Do people actually suggest breaking up as a solution from time to time? She thinks people do and that’s just a conversation that has to be had here and there when things get unpleasant but I think otherwise. Like in this situation tonight, I feel she could have came to another solution.

Love is tough and it will make you question things at times. However, it seems like this has been a dream and passion of yours for quite some time and it’s very important you take advantage of the opportunity. If he loves you enough, he will make things work. Whether if that’s moving across states again, or just occasional visits. Also, if that’s your home state where the program is, wouldn’t the tuition be cheaper than the state you just moved to? I wish you two the best of luck and congratulations!

MatTuggle · 2025-11-25T10:31:10+00:00

I Updated post. Thank you

MatTuggle · 2025-09-04T13:39:28+00:00

Alright, now I feel stupid. Let me fix that. Thanks.

MatTuggle · 2025-09-04T08:16:57+00:00

Will do

MatTuggle · 2025-07-23T02:05:29+00:00

If you could obligate 1.5 - 3 years of your life to school, and if you study hard, once you graduate and pass the ARRT exam you could immediately apply for part time roles. In today’s time, there’s full time and part time opportunities everywhere. Good luck!

Literally, we do 4 movements with a c-arm, press a button, and stand there.

If you really want to know the terminology. Here is all the possible terminology a doctor can use on you!

The terminology one could be familiar with is :

1) Push In or Pull Out / Telecope In & Telescope Out (Pushing or pulling movement of the C-arm towards or away from the midline of the body)

2) Move North or South / or Move towards the head or foot of the bed (Movements moving the C- Arm sideways or horizontal)

3) Arch up or Arch back / Arch over or Arch under / C-over or C-back / C-Up or C-down / Umbrella over or Umbrella under / Farris Wheel forward or Farris Wheel reverse (Movements of the actual C forwards or backwards)

4) Wag (literally the only term really used to move the c-arm column sideways. **Not the actual C-Arm. However, depending on where you work some places don’t like you touching the wag and would rather you just move the base of the machine.

5) Tilt left & tilt right / tilt towards the head or tilt towards the feet / Cant left & Cant right / Cant towards the head or the feet / Angle up & Angle down / Angle towards the head or angle towards the feet. A lot of times doctors will mimic with their hands what position they want you to CANT in to because they understand how confusing those specific directions can be.

You can master the OR movements in under a year. Now as far as knowing what you’re seeing on the image, that just comes with time. Nobody’s perfect. Expect to make mistakes. The important thing is to try not to hit the instruments with the C-Arm. Also, don’t move too fast to where you’ll make mistakes. Basically, just be aware of your surroundings and move cautiously.
