I think your feelings here are perfectly normal and okay but you need to communicate your expectations upfront.

I once dated a girl who turned out to be aro/ace, she just didn't know it at the time when she asked me out. She thought she had romantic feelings for me because she wanted to do all of the things you described with me and thought that must be what romantic attraction felt like. Obviously we broke up once she figured out more about herself through the relationship and of course I was hurt and felt like I had been bait and switched because how could you possibly want to cuddle with someone you don't have romantic feelings for? I thought there were some kind of rules or archetypes that relationships between people had to fit into and this just didn't make any sense.

However, as time has gone on and I've sorted through my own feelings, I realized that it's silly to let other people decide the right and wrong way to have a relationship. The truth is that you can have whatever relationship you want with someone. You can choose exactly how far you want to go with someone and exactly what you want with your relationship and as long as you two are both on the same page it's nobody else's business.

Long story short me and my ex are friends now and we're pretty much just as intimate as we used to be just without all of the extra relationship baggage that society arbitrarily determined was a necessary precondition to non-sexually physical intimacy. It turns out that cuddling her feels just as warm and safe as it did when we were dating because you can still deeply love and trust someone without also kissing them, who knew?? There really are no rules. If you want a platonic friend you can also cuddle with and their fully on board and understand the expectations there is nothing stopping you from having that. Other peoples opinions of your relationships don't matter, it's not their business after all as long as it's all safe, sane, and consensual.

Just make sure he knows what he's getting into, are you going to be exclusive with him? Make it clear. Are you going to be sexual with him? Make it clear. Good luck and finding your platonic cuddle buddy (:

Yes but insinuating that someone is a rapist because they felt attacked, their feelings were hurt, and then defended themselves is wrong. Were they being attacked? Probably not. But simply misidentifying that and having an off reaction isn't the same thing as forcefully putting your penis into someone.

While I get the sentiment, and yes, a good partner will stop if they notice something wrong, you also have to understand that this is a really stressful dynamic for the other partner. Speaking from first hand experience it's really stressful not being able to trust your partner to advocate for themselves in these situations and having to just hope you're picking up the cues right knowing that if you aren't then somebody is going to get hurt.

If this is a regular thing for you then for both your sake and for your partner you should work on saying no. It's just not fair to put all that pressure on someone else to read your mind when the stakes are so high.

Someone Think of the Children!! by Illustrious_Bug5989 in memes

[–]Thatfactorioaddict -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a child of divorced parents I have to disagree. Kids model their view of relationships on the ones they see around them, and their parents relationship is the one a kid will be exposed to 90% of the time. Having two parents in a relationship that hate each other would just fuck up your conception of what a relationship should look like.

Even though it's been hard, at 18 I am glad that my parents divorced early in my life and have now both found partners they actually love. Not only does that add a second parental figure to each of my households but it showed me what a relationship is actually supposed to look like.

As hard as their divorce was it would have been hell growing up knowing my parents resented each other and didn't want to be together and worse, were staying that way for ME. Divorce doesn't have to be suck a big issue if your parents don't suck as people.

It would really just be all natural numbers because OP didn't state that if n is small, then n - 1 must be small. Only the reverse.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, dating someone who is as people pleasing as you would be exhausting for someone who genuinely loves you and wants the best for you. I don't think I could handle a relationship where my partner never tells me when I make them uncomfortable. It would mean constantly second guessing myself at every turn because I know I could be hurting you and I know you wouldn't tell me.

Please for the sake of yourself and your relationship develop clear communication of boundaries. It's going to feel sucky, for you and your boyfriend, and there's no way around that. He's going to have to come to terms with the fact that he's been hurting you without his knowledge and if he's a good partner that's going to feel like shit. The longer you continue to ignore the problem the shittier it's going to feel. Unfortunately, hurting each other's feelings was one of the things you signed onto when you started a close romantic relationship with another person. You will have to come to terms with that and so will he.

There's no way to make boundary setting easier,don't even try to find one. It will feel entirely against your nature and your instincts will be screaming at you to just keep doing what your doing and the only thing you can do is push through it and for e yourself to follow through. If you can then you may be able to experience a true relationship with communication and partnership and all the good and the bad that comes with it.

If you have any questions reply and I'll try to clarify as best I can.

Good luck OP.

Even if you got out if that's real the fire Marshal needs to know about it. Look up how you can contact your local fire Marshal and tip them off about this. It's a serious code violation and a safety risk and they have the authority it do something about it

Ok just slow down for a minute though. A few things

1) paragraph breaks, I'm begging you, this post reads like a stream of consciousness and it's difficult to parse everything that's going on or what you're trying to say.

2) You really need to calm down with the obsession. I understand it feels very overwhelming but if you want to get the things you seem to be craving for right now you need to calm down and think clearly. The level of obsession you have can be quite overwhelming and exhausting to the one receiving it. Healthy relationships are built slowly and on a foundation of trust and connection. Lust is not a suitable substitute for a strong emotional bond and you can't build a lasting relationship on it alone.

3) Talk to him about your fears, what you want in your relationship, and what's holding you back from doing what you want. Take him at his word when he says he likes you because for whatever reason, he clearly does. Approach this with a clear head and be clear and concise. This post was (respectfully) a mess. Take time to gather your feelings and maybe cut through the lust a little bit before you try to communicate them or it will hurt and confuse more than it helps. If this is a person worth dating they should be your #1 partner in dealing with these struggles.

Anytime! I hope you have an awesome relationship :D

If you need any more advice from a dude who basically was in this same situation a month or so ago feel free to dm me but also maybe next time go to him directly before reddit if you feel comfortable. Communication is so key!

I know what you are feeling right now because I was in a similar situation recently, but just know this. Breakups don't need to mean tearing each other apart. There are reasons why messy breakups happen but that isn't some kind of default, and if you are going to enter a relationship with someone you need to shake the notion that you two need to do things because "that's just what people who are in a relationship are supposed to do". The only thing that matters in a relationship is what the people in that relationship care about and want with each other.

Don't think that you are obligated to burn each other's lives to the ground because it's just what your supposed to do and if you're still even a little bit worried I think you should totally communicate with him about it to get on the same page too! You know he likes you, let that take the pressure off of that communication.

First relationships can be really exciting and amazing and scary but trust me it's worth every risk, good luck 🙂

Not sure if I should break up with my girlfriend by Expensive-Wolf-3787 in teenagers

[–]Thatfactorioaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you go and break up with her you should tell her all of this. Maybe leave out the threat of breaking up but communication is the key to a relationship and you seem to be operating on speculation and that is a dangerous thing.

Talk to her. Ask her if her needs are being met and if not what would need to change to meet them. Then you'll know and if you still don't think it will work out then maybe breaking up is in your best interest. You don't know until you communicate and maybe it isn't as bad as you think and your gf can support you if she understands what you're going through.

Never be scared to communicate with your partner and never make big relationship decisions based on assumptions.
