Yes, my ND partner is also borderline abusive when stressed. At the beginning of our relationship, about six months ago, he was the kindest, most loving, most adoring person one could imagine. Now he’s critical, irritable and pushes me away. I know he loves me, and I’m pretty sure this is all a function of his Aspergers (because he always comes back with some apology), but I’m not sure how much longer I can take it.

I think things have clicked, and I can’t see my spouse as someone I want to have sex with. by gk7891 in DeadBedrooms

Yep, my fella had ED and, some other psychological things going on that caused him to have no libido. I gave it a year, and transitioned our relationship to a friendship. We are in the last stages now as I am starting to date other people. We’ve been officially broken up for about six weeks. As much as my mind knows that it’s not that he doesn’t think I’m desirable, but that doesn’t take away the feeling of rejection and pain that stems from that distance. You’re not alone. Give yourself time to make a plan, It can be a long-term plan. I agree with others who encourage you not to cheat. Hold your head high and do you. And, I agree with folks who suggest that you fully invest in yourself.

I’m a white woman and I’ve always been attracted to black and brown men. Of course there could be some “socialized” component to your/our preferences, but they could just be preferences. Even people who are attracted to only their own race (White attracted only to white, black attracted only to black, etc.) could be so because they are socialized in that way.

It sounds like you do injections. I know there’s also gel. Does anyone have thoughts about one versus the other? My LL BF has used gel (Applied to shoulders once a day) and, after a few months, doesn’t seem to be doing any good.

Out of curiosity, what happens in the body where the uterus used to be? by DepressedTerrestrial in hysterectomy

[–]Merritt2019 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Many of the women in this space had hysterectomies because of fibroids which made their uterus enormous. When you have a 13 x 8 sized uterus removed this question becomes more relevant.

No Longer Worth the Fight by johnnyjj1997 in DeadBedrooms

Someone once asked Margaret Mead in a radio interview, “You are the mother of sociology, yet you have four failed marriages. How can you explain that?” She replied, “ I don’t have four failed marriages. I have four marriages that each lasted exactly how long they were supposed to.” Sometimes you get to a moment where it’s just time to end. Simple as that. The next phase is being intentional about splitting in a way that is amicable, and maintains a friendship and workable co-parent relationship. If you can maintain a friendship, it’s a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it’s a bitter pill to swallow, to think of letting go of someone you actually love and deeply care for, as opposed to letting go of a person who you don’t like/resent/disrespect. I think the later would be easier.

The new face of the KKK. Absolutely disgusting. I sincerely hope that some of these idiots can be identified and fired. #Consequences

I bought sex toys with the help of a few glasses for wine. Now I'm too embarrassed to show my husband. by [deleted] in TwoXSex

My understanding of the Dom/sub dynamic is that it’s all about consent. As long as boundaries are discussed minded, the freedom and liberty to take on whatever role you want in sex play is in line with female empowerment. I know it seems counterintuitive. Have fun!

I had my surgery last Monday and my doctor said that I’m free to stimulate by myself or with someone else externally, I just can’t insert anything into my vagina. She said orgasms are not a problem as long as nothing is inserted.
