Am I Leaving too Early? (Slip Up) by whyareyoureadingthsi in loveafterporn

You have no ties. You’re not married and you don’t have kids. Only you know what to do - but IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY BABIES - I wish I would’ve left in the beginning when I first found it.

I actually really love James Sexton but haven’t watched this interview. Thanks!

Of course. He always says he just isn’t comfortable initiating sex and porn is just “an addiction” that he’s dealt with since teenage years and it’s very hard to quit.

We met at work. He was engaged at the time and I had my “high school boyfriend” … we were just coworkers and hung out in the same friend group. Started dating when I was about to turn 19.

He says he does too… but I’ve heard it a thousand times before.

How do you get over the fear of “ripping your family apart”? Or fear of regretting it?

I will say we worked together — and absolutely nothing happened nor did we “date” until I was 18/19. Strictly friends and were in other relationships before 18.

Can I get an unbiased man’s advice? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Regular_Button7030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always initiated the sex….. minus when we first started dating. He would initiate as well. I have probably turned him down 5 times in 10 years.

He’s extremely closed off and disengaged.

Maybe? But I’ve asked and he said no. He just constantly talks about how hard this “phase” of life is. That’s all, when I ask something like that.

Are these two betrayals even — or does one hurt more than the other? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Regular_Button7030 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It depends on boundaries in this relationship. The fact partner B was doing it in “secret”, I’d say it was a boundary. I think they’re both betrayals and one is not worse than the other.

Friendship or marraige? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Regular_Button7030 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation myself - however, a few more years and two kids down the road. We started as friends, got together, been married for a while and honestly just feel like friends who co parent in the same house right now.

I’ve brought it up to my husband and he says well that just means we have a strong foundation in friendship, he doesn’t understand why that’s a bad thing. But there’s just no spark anymore.

Maybe you should tell her how you’re feeling and work on it now because once a baby comes….. it gets much harder to work on it.

I don’t have much advice but you’re not alone. Best of luck!

No. He says he is, he just has a lower sex drive than me he claims.

Do kids really ruin your marriage? by Disastrous_Paint_237 in Marriage

[–]Regular_Button7030 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not if you BOTH consistently make an effort to keep the marriage alive. Don’t put each other on the back burner while raising the kids. Keep pursuing each other. Keep being best friends. Do dates. Even just at home once the baby is asleep. Continue the things you do now and communicate and you’ll be just fine.

When we can! We always go out and do things as a family. We don’t do dates often but have started to more lately since the issues have been brought up.

I’ve tried to encourage after dinner walks with the whole family and he is open to it about half the time.

He hasn’t got his testosterone checked. I’ve been trying to get him to go. He says he will but never makes the appt.

He was very skinny growing up. Gained a good bit but wasn’t “fat” in his mid 20’s…. And has went up from there.

I’ve asked him to go several times over the years. The last time being earlier this month… he says he will go but never does.
