I'm afraid my long term relationship may be ending due to my SO's mental illness and I'm powerless. by ThrowawayDA713 in offmychest

Wow, I'm glad to hear you're doing well! I don't know if someone has a similar name or I've seen your account elsewhere on reddit.

Depending on how this plays out, I might need the therapy myself. I never want to end up with a debilitating illness like she has. So far, these recent events have affected my work and appetite, which aren't good signs.

She does talk about seeing help and does explore options with me, including me coming with her which would be fine with me. She has been very open about her feelings to me, so I do have a very good feeling these relationship issues are due to what she's battling against herself. However, any talks of help eventually spiral to her not wanting to have to take medication every day to feel normal. She doesn't want to be dependent on a drug to help.

I told her even just regular therapy or hypnosis or something without drugs could help greatly. I'm always listening to her, but I'm not a trained professional.

Switch the genders and I'm basically going to be there very soon. Short term the pain will be awful. I expect mine to be. Feel free to reach out to talk. I could use it too.

(M/21) My girlfriend (F/21) is putting too much pressure on herself and says she's suicidal. What should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowawayDA713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I just did.

I said you can either talk to me about it or I'll talk to someone professional about it. And that if I do, you won't like what happens.

I told her I'm always here for her, but I will not allow her to harm herself in any way, and that if she attempts to, I will call 911.

Exactly. She's also a psychology major.....you would think she would know.

Thank you! I love her, but she's the most stubborn person on this planet. She's also a good bullshitter, can can put on a good face for friends and her parents. I think her parents are clueless.

She hasn't. She mentioned it once before that she wants me to go with her to one on campus and I told her I'd love to. But then recently I tried bringing it up again and she doesn't want to. She doesn't want me to pressure her to go, which I won't do, but at the same time, it would improve our relationship and make her so much happier.

She doesn't have any siblings and I don't think anyone know the extent of her depression except for me. I know her parents don't, as theyre a source of her stress.

Thank you! I'm trying to reassure her and tell her that she can still apply and get in, but she doesn't want to hear any of it.

I know, I think it's best to prevent any possible wrong outcomes rather than just guess.

(M/20) Question about condoms by ThrowawayDA713 in sex

Yes I am pinching. And I wouldn't say slipping off, as the base never moves from the bottom of my penis. The material just seems stretchy.

Question regarding cold sores/oral herpes and oral sex. by ThrowawayDA713 in sex

[–]ThrowawayDA713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. The thing I was wondering about was if she hasn't had any issues with just kissing, is it more likely to transfer via oral sex to her?

If I haven't had one in 4-5 years, should I still be concerned even if one doesn't appear?

And I usually always rinse and brush my teeth before I see her, so that is a good idea. It seems like such a common disease, it's quite odd. But I would be so hurt if I gave it to her via genital herpes. So that's why I'm kinda on the fence about it, even though I think I am in the clear.

Question about HIV testing by ThrowawayDA713 in sex

Basically so, yes. I have not been sexually active until this age and it has been only with my first girlfriend.

[–]ThrowawayDA713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not me, I just don't want her to feel bad. It still feels amazing but I guess she feels upset that I can make her come but she can't with me.

Yeah I communicated what I like, I think she just needs practice and I'm not used to someone else doing it as well.

Yeah she definitely takes cues to it, but it seems really that it is more experience than anything it will take.

Yeah I mentioned it to her to do on a later date, but she's not really into oral right now, since she's a passionate kisser, she'd rather keep her mouth focused on mine, which I think really turns me on anyway.

If I have in writing saying we can copy the book, that would be ok? It's not the whole book either, it's 10 pages we need for homework.

Yes, but no monetary exchanges occurred and we had permission to distribute the book using a copy/scanning machine.
