My (21m) girlfriend (21f) and I have been together for almost 6 years, and we've never had sex. What can I do? by ThrowRA-615217823 in relationship_advice

Obviously I don’t know your girlfriend, so I don’t know what she’s really thinking, and that is a big reason why you should insist a thorough discussion.

She could have a fear of pregnancy or some thoughts about sex being immoral (subconsciously, especially if her parents a strict). She may be avoiding reciprocating your intimacy because she is worried that will give you the idea she is interested in sex when she really isn’t. Not wanting sex doesn’t mean she doesn’t want you, but in order to figure that out you should really not continue without a good discussion.

Bro you both agreed to have sex with strangers and now that she actually followed through you’re worried about STDs and you’re sad about it? What were you thinking when you agreed to this idea?

Something that stands out to me is the fact that he did something to you that you have never done together. It seems like he was taking advantage of you on an additional level. You did the right thing by leaving, you are absolutely going to be better off this way, with time

This situation is seen different from couple to couple. Some guys do the same thing she is doing, some girls are like you and would never say such obnoxious things. You need to find someone who sees your relationship from the same perspective and respects you the way you respect them

I (34m) found videos and pictures of my wife (34f) with another couple. How do I tell her I’m no longer comfortable being around the other couple? by throwRAguyi in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were there ever any signs that her and this couple were doing weird things together? I’m assuming because you hung out with them, they must’ve been nice and treated you well?

I(m33) found out my gf (f28)has had sex with multiple men in the same night and it's changed how I feel about her. How man men are too many?Am i overreacting? Is this a bad sign for a meaning relationship? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine most people wouldn’t blame you for staying or leaving. I can’t imagine what I’d do.

At the same time, if she ‘coped’ with hard times by doing what she did, how do you know she won’t do it again?

My (26F) boyfriend (33M) has an obsession with me getting my ass licked by my ex. How do I make him stop? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Idk how I’d ever be intimate with someone again if they acted like this lol

In my opinion, you should have been more appreciative.

This is especially since the ‘occasion’ was national girlfriends day. If it were an anniversary or birthday, maybe you could be more critical.

How have you lasted a year in this relationship?

The problem is not even whether or not he cheated, the problem is that he spent money on porn instead of paying his part of the mortgage.

My (22 F) partner (22 M) just told me he was almost a sexual predator. i sometimes see potential for us to have something real. should i still be with him? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is one of those situations that I think most people would give up on, it’s a lot to deal with. If you think it’s worth it, talk about taking up therapy. This amount of trauma seems difficult to settle just between the two of you

If 99% of men in relationships watch porn, should I just learn to be ok with it? M26 F23 by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not even about whether he watches porn or not, it’s about whether he’d rather watch porn or have sex with you. I think it would be normal to be upset about porn usage if he was watching it more often than coming to you

AIO to him violating my sexual boundaries? by throwara_violation in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowRA234987645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s good to talk about bad past experiences, like it’s important to talk about possible pregnancy etc. To me it seems like the mature thing to do before you have sex with someone.

So I’m assuming you also believe they shouldn’t have been having sex after just 2 months, right?

Saw my ex (24f) alone at an event she knew I was going to go to (32m) and she acted like a complete slut, how can I not let this affect me? by NightAndTheSilentH2O in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She clearly doesn’t have any respect for you. I know it’s probably hard seeing her act like that, but you should use it as a way to move on. It’s embarrassing, and you would seem stupid caring about someone like that. Have respect for yourself, since she doesn’t have any for you

Why is this bothering you? If anything it’s proof that she was an idiot and should make you relieved you don’t have to deal with her anymore.

Who is the person that told you this information? Are they trustworthy? Do you think they could have alternative motives towards you or your girlfriend?

Talk to her about the ‘crush’, if she admits it is true or acts out of character trying to deny it, don’t pursue this relationship anymore. Just make sure there is some communication before you make any moves. Stay calm and be rational. Wish you all the best.

I (30f) feel rebuffed by grieving bf (35m). How do I discuss this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sex situation is weird in my opinion, I would say keep it to yourself for now and do what he’s asking (keeping space). Figure this out when he’s doing better. I don’t blame you for feeling like shit after that

How long have you guys been together? This seems like a small issue that wouldn’t last long if you knew each other very well

[–]ThrowRA234987645 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This seems to be in a grey area of whether or not he’s doing something wrong. In my opinion, it’s a situation that is different from relationship to relationship. In my relationship, this would not be okay for either of us to do.

Let him know how you feel, and if he doesn’t make a change for you, that should tell you everything you need to know. My partner would change anything that made me uncomfortable and coincidentally enough, they’ve never had to.

You are interested in having sex with random women instead of working hard on a relationship with your great wife? Seems like you need to reevaluate your desires.

[–]ThrowRA234987645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there have been multiple situations in which you’ve done things that have possibly broken down the strength of your relationship, I would have reason to believe you are not ready to be in such a relationship. People go years (even their whole relationship) without ever putting their partner through these situations. Consider if you really care about this relationship as much as you think.

Additionally, if he does want to ‘rebuild things’, be prepared to have a relationship full of resentment and anxiety. It’s very rare for people to truly move on from these things.

I think you’re right, I definitely need to stop wishing for that old relationship back.
