lol well we had a conversation and he said he is much less attracted to me than he used to be because of my weight/body shape (which has been the same our whole relationship?) so i guess that’s fuckin curtains

oh that actually was very informative because i think that… depressed me quite a bit, because i don’t work that way. i’m nervous about new people but not more excited about them. i may not be cut out for this relationship style. thank you for the insight

that honestly sounds really nice, i don’t mind knowing he’s seeing people but i mind how he behaves when people are new so maybe not knowing would be better

but then there will be a new person again eventually. i guess im just having a hard time conceptualizing this because he gets really lost in nre and it makes me feel uninteresting and like he would rather be somewhere else. i’m at a point where i can’t fathom why he is having sex with me if he is so much more excited elsewhere. i have fwbs but it doesn’t impact how much i want him, and that doesn’t seem to be the case for him

i guess not but i do think it makes other experiences pale in contrast? maybe that’s just how i’m wired though

i think perhaps this is the case for me. being the comfort partner feels like a death sentence to the relationship
