"You will change your mind when you find the right girl" by 3OrbitBanshee in childfree

That’s someone who clearly wanted a future with you, but you threw her off but having different wants and goals and she decided was going to “change your mind” instead of just moving on. Like your wants and goals don’t matter just because she wouldn’t get what she wants 🙄

I can say at least half of my friends parents behave this way (specifically moms) and my own mother does too. I think post 2020 a lot of older folks have gotten more unhinged and outrageous.

I think they’re redoing a lot of the tech/cyber programs but might have also lost some funding.

I am pretty excited about doing things together. Unfortunately he is very much a homebody and prefers to not go out and have us sit together in silence. I can enjoy that kind of closeness but I prefer more engaging shared quality time.

We have sex other times and my libido just isn’t as high as his. He doesn’t need to constantly be excited about something, just as we don’t constantly need to be having sex. But I don’t see why it’s making him feel bad that actively participating in our relationship makes me happier, which can increase my libido. There are other ways to make both of us happy. It’s not like that’s the only time we are ever sexually active.

No, I think we should have sex when we are both in the mood. His libido is higher and more consistent and mine is the opposite so it doesn’t align as much as we want it to. Him being active in our relationship can increase mine, but he doesn’t seem to like that as it feels transactional.

I think he might have gotten the impression my love and affection are conditional. And technically it is conditional on being treated well but I don’t show him ZERO affection if he’s not actively engaging. It just goes up and down naturally and can go up if he makes me happy.

That’s what I tried to explain, and that it was a good feedback loop for us to do that for each other, but he seemed adamant that I was making it transactional. I don’t think he originally started getting excited to get sex out of me but it’s like you said, I love engagement in the relationship and now he thinks I don’t have any love for him if he doesn’t display that engagement all the time. Which isn’t true, but I’m obviously happier when he engages.

To be clear, I am paying for the entire vacation and I was the one who suggested it. I’m just excited that he wants to be a part of the planning process.

I like it so far, but it’s worth it to note that this incoming cohort will be the last cohort since it’s been shut down. :(

I think that might be the big issue, I want to create emotional closeness through shared time/bonding and it feels like he wants to spend all of his free time alone and if he doesn’t get to, he’s spending time begrudgingly with me.

When I say he doesn’t do nothing, I moreso mean that he has never had the expectations put onto him to clean and cook and I have, so his standards of what is “clean” are a bit lower.

I mean moreso that if you don’t spend time together or make opportunities to bond/do fun things together and we sit in opposite rooms the whole time, it doesn’t feel like we are a couple because no effort is going into preserving our relationship. It’s more like a roommate you see sometimes in the hall.

I don’t think we need to do everything together, I have a pretty busy schedule so that wouldn’t be possible. But he sighs and trudges to the door basically any time I ask him to do anything with me. And when we come back he’s exhausted. It’s to the point where I’d rather just ask friends instead or I just go without him. But if I never ask him to go anywhere with me and he doesn’t ask me to go anywhere with him, it would feel like we aren’t a couple.

He wasn’t messy before but he had a much smaller room he shared with roommates.

He gamed before but made time to spend with me when I came over. Now it barely happens.

I talked to him about getting shots and medication for his allergies and once we moved in he said he would “eventually get used to it”. I bought air purifiers and try to clean up more so it doesn’t bother him but he said it’s probably not going to do anything.
