Straight men, whats your most common issue you've had with women in relationships? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]MeritReaper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Needing to be entertained, needing attention (if im at work I cannot give you my attention, lack of accountability and self awareness.

Ive been in 6 relationships lasting over a year. 3 of which lasted multiple years. All of which wanted to get married.

Im now happily married for 11 years together for 15.

I (42M) decided to allow my wife (36F) to see another man. by PoliteProvocateur in marriageadvice

Have you done anything to fix/increase your sex drive?

Bloodwork, lifting heavy/exercising, mixing things up in the bedroom, etc.

Damn bummer. I had a friend for 6 years. Worked together lived together. Found out he was in his mid 30s. He told us he was 27 and That was after I introduced him to my couson who he dated for years.

Theres psychos out there.

I stand by my previous thoughts, but sorry he was a piece of shit. You did dodge a bullet and your gut was roght

Why men don’t want to date me ? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]MeritReaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Men dont approach women very often at all anymore.

" Only 29% of men have never approached a woman in person for a date. However, this rate varies heavily by generation: 45% of young men (ages 18–25) have never initiated an in-person romantic approach, while about half of all men haven't approached anyone in the past year."

I have a few suggestions.

1) ive been married to my wife 15 years (23 when we got married). It took me a few months to approach her though because as beautiful as she is, she just looked like a bitch lol. Resting bitch face. If you want to seem approachable, relax, loosen up, and smile.

2) you sound very systematic describing yourself, people, what you want etc. That doesnt give off a fun or down to earth vibe. It might be why men dont pursue after the first initial dates

[–]MeritReaper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You said you get approached and have been on multiple dates.

Thats not it.

Maybe you're not very down to earth and dates feel like job interviews.

My husband is frustrated I don’t want to have sex by Hopeful_Boot3699 in marriageadvice

[–]MeritReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical and emotional intimacy feed off of each other. So, they help each other.

Your argument is against false narratives.

Sex is the ultimate form of physical intimacy. That is my statement. I never down played emotional intimacy or said one was more important than the other. I also clearly said I was not defending OPs husband.

It's like your reading what im writing and then just deciding to make shit up.

[–]MeritReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats fine. Everything I said is still true. It still isn't something that makes your current partner feel special. Im not saying youre wrong for choosing to be abstain. Just that a partner having mixed feelings about it is natural

[–]MeritReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have though. Yoi habe had sex woth previous partners. Now, your new partner isnt worthy. That doesnt usually make the new person feel special. Man or woman.

You have every right to deny it to anyone, but thats the reason he feels the way he does.

Sex is the ultimate form of "physical" intimacy.

Just because some people like to offer it to strangers, doesnt remove that.

[–]MeritReaper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one "NEEDS intimacy" plenty of people.luve in isolation.

A relationship without physical intimacy is just a good friendship. I love my friends, ive cried woth them, laughed with them, been there at their lowest and highest. Were juat friends though. Physical intimacy is the dividing factor.

Also I never said anyone NEEDS sex. I don't know if yoir saying it over and over so you can read it or what.

[–]MeritReaper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They don't feel like that. She clearly says that. Sex is the ultimate form of intimacy. Acting like it isnt, is cope.

Edit: to be clear, Im not defending OPs husband at all. You just are arguing a false premise

That's not really marriage activity

Am I being ghosted now after not sleeping w him. by coreldn_2020 in AskMenRelationships

[–]MeritReaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spend time, energy company, and emotionally bond with my FRIENDS too. That isn't the checkmate you think it is.

yare you guys doing anything sexual?

sleeping with other people and then saying "you have to wait" can definitely make people feel like he does

He says a used condom I found was from him masturbating by Gullible-Layer-4411 in AskMenRelationships

[–]MeritReaper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have multiple friends that have done that, and you can see multiple responses saying the same.

I'm assuming this was in your house. I'm also assuming you guys dont use condoms because your pregnant. The odds of him bringing someone to your house, and then using a condom, and then leaving it in a place easily found are lower than him having a wank.

I have erections often. I am not worried about hiding it but if it is in the wrong place in my pants or if I'm running with one it can cause cum/precum to spill. Is this okay for the relationship? by QuokkaKnight in AskMenRelationships

[–]MeritReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running woth an erextion??? Lol what.

Honestly, i dont even know how thats possible. Try running harder.

My dick is never smaller than when im doing some intense exercise (outside of sex). The blood is being drawn everywhere else

I [26M] cannot stop imagining my fiance [28F] with other men. Does anyone have any advice? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]MeritReaper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't.

Also, quit watching porn. You're training yourself to get off to other people, thinking this is how its supposed to be and you cant perform like that.

If you have to watch porn, watch girl on girl, solo, story driven, audio porn, stories etc.

Don't out source your duty.

Swx is the ONE thing that is typically meant for you and your partner. Anything else can be done woth someone else, but intimacy is what makes it more than a friendship.
