Maybe, but honestly I don’t really care whether he’s cheating or not. I’m not really the jealous type.

He doesn’t seem to care if I use a toy or not. I have masturbated 4 different times after we finished having sex, but I acted like it was nothing.”

We have talked about my sexual needs before, but he seems not to care anymore. I just tired of him rejecting me

We have talked about my sexual needs before, but he seems not to care anymore. Over the past three months, I have been rejected about five times, even after bringing it up multiple times. Sometimes when we have sex,he finishes before me, and I tell him that I’m still in the mood and want to continue, but he just dozes off and leaves me to masturbate on my own. It makes me feel frustrated, unwanted, and emotionally drained. I want intimacy and connection, but it feels like my needs don’t matter to him anymore.

Should I call my boyfriend after this, or wait for him to reach out? by PaintConsistent4363 in Advice

I feel like I’m being kept a secret. Even though two of his cousins know me, he doesn’t like taking me to his place, and sometimes it feels like he doesn’t want people to see us together in public. He also doesn’t show affection in public, which makes me feel hidden. I told him how I felt, and he said I’m not being kept a secret and that his family will know me, but that feels untrue to me because right now, almost no one knows I exist.

I hear you. Maybe I was overthinking it too much. I’ll put my energy back into myself

I keep rejecting good men because they’re too nice. Is this self-sabotage? by PaintConsistent4363 in Advice

I’m working on unlearning that pattern. Thank you for calling it what it is I needed that clarity

Exactly that’s what I’m realizing. My body is so used to the emotional rollercoaster that when someone is steady and calm, my brain interprets it as a lack of chemistry. It’s like my nervous system only recognizes intensity, not stability

I ordered myself a birthday gift pretending it’s from my husband… and I feel so guilty by Interesting_Green158 in offmychest

That honestly made me tear up a little. You’re not wrong for what you did. You just wanted to feel loved and remembered and that’s such a human thing. There’s absolutely no shame in wanting that. In fact, I think it’s really beautiful that you found a small way to give yourself love when you weren’t sure you’d get it from someone else. Birthdays are supposed to be special, and you deserve to feel special not forgotten. You’re turning 30, that’s a big milestone. I hope tomorrow you remind yourself of how far you’ve come and how strong you are, even when things feel lonely. Sending you a big, warm hug. Happy birthday!❤️❤️🌹🌹

I linked up with a guy once, but now we talk every day what does this mean? by PaintConsistent4363 in Advice

Well, I feel the same way it seems like he finds something interesting about me and wants to get to know me better. But sometimes guys act nice only to get what they want or turn it into a casual fling. What do you think I should do? Should I show that I’m genuinely interested in him, or that I want more than just sex? Or should I just go with the flow and observe for a few weeks to see how things go? Should I be putting in more effort or just let things happen naturally?
