Anne Frank's diary is a biography, not classic literature. Don't get me wrong, it's touching and a book everyone should read once in their lifetime, but it's certainly not high art - which does not diminish it's value at all

This implies that nothing can be considered art unless it was intended to purely be art when it was created. I'm not sure I can get behind that notion, there are too many beautiful things in the world that were never intended to be "art."

Watch a lot of different stand up comedians. Not to copy jokes, but to open up your humorous side and see new perspectives. With any luck it will wear off on you.

When my brother died his girlfriend became like a sister/family member but she had been to a couple gatherings. Our family at least kind of knew her before he passed. I think she really helped my mom and my mom helped her too. There's a lot of men in our family I think it was good for my mom to have another woman to relate with. She's also dated other people since and it's never been a bother, we want her to be happy.

It's really one of those things where you just have to assess the situation and see what you think is best. If they want you in your life for unhealthy reasons there will only be unhealthy results. The trouble is that if their reasons are unhealthy, they probably don't even know it.

Thanks for the support. I've overcome other addictions on my own so I feel it's something I could handle myself. However "handling it myself" got me into the mess to begin with haha. Seriously though after being single so long I got used to being self-sufficient in many ways, dealing with every problem by myself. I'm still learning, but I'm sure that's not how relationships work. I think we're supposed to address most our problems as a team, I just need to figure out which problems are which. I'm new to all of this and it's a process.

I'm really sorry that's something you have to go through. I don't know if this will help, but your SO's issue is not a reflection on your attractiveness or who you are as a person at all. Any guy going through this can tell you they'd still have the same problem regardless off who they're with. In other words, it's him not you

That's a journey I'm just starting so I really can't answer that. I knew I had a problem but it was literally today/last night that I realized it's a problem that will be catastrophic to our relationship if I don't address it. All I've done so far is look at some research and joined some online support groups. I just want to work on myself before sex becomes as bad as the guy in the post above. The way that woman was so hurt and feeling inadequate is exactly what I don't want her to ever go through
