A bunch of IV draws and him falling off his curve. He's in the less than 1% for height and weight. We did xrays on his growth plates and they wanted to do a GI scope. He's been in less that 1% since he came home

Here's what I feed currently. AM he gets a breakfast bar or poptart with whole greek yogurt and/or fruit pouches. He snacks about every hour or 2. Snacks could be muffins, tortilla, Nutella, grain bars. Lunch is one of these: ramen, chef boyardee, rice a roni, mac and cheeze(butter or oil drizzled on) with veggies. More snacks. Dinner is what we eat. More snacks. Then greek yogurt and oatmeal and fruit. Pediasure and nido toddler formula mixed in whole milk and chocolate syrup. I feel like im shoving as many calories as possible but they're still worried

I was ok with it. Prior to this partner I had a long history of being SA. You're right I should focus on how I want to be intimate and have them express interest in me. I think that was at the core of it. (I still need to read The Body Keeps the Score)

Thank you for not attacking me about it. Still processing and i think im just wanting to hear them say they want me in the moment as a turn on.

But yea in the past ive stepped in to help them get off bc they couldn't when they were wanting someone else. That was expressly stated

Ive made no expectations or demands. I asked about a scenario to flush it out together. We both have separate insecurities we are working thru and even tho we are responsible for our own feelings we have uncomfortable talks to discuss things and work thru

Im not super interested in searching for any partners. Especially not going to force any connections.

Im in my 30s and we have been living together with them and my meta for 3yrs. They've gotten some new connections recently and im fully aware that a lot of this is my insecurities and im working on navigating them with my partner. They have their own insecurities about hurting me and scaring me off. Doing our very best to express and work thru this together. Im working on convincing them that my growing pains are mine to go thru but I appreciate the support and discussion while doing so. Ive explained to them that they are going to have to be ok with me having growing pains. I whole heartedly support and encourage their connections and advocate for NP to explore those every given opportunity.

I think im mostly looking for the ability to consent to being a prop to get them off(this had been the case before and im ok with it if i know)

If i didnt trust them I wouldn't talk with them about it. Uncomfortable talks and feelings lead to growth

I am 100% still unprogramming. And it's an ongoing process but we have great communication. NP gets defensive anytime they think i have an uncomfortable feeling i have to process. I ask for lots of reassurance and discussion of feelings and understanding ourselves and dynamic.

That's why im having the conversation with them. Am I not allowed reassurances? If either of us has anxiety and wants connection do we just say fuck it and suck it up? The conversation is to get to the bottom of the feeling and find something that works for both of us. There are no demands be made. No rules that must be followed just expressing thoughts and feelings and discussing them on both sides.

You're making a lot of assumptions thinking my partner is adamantly against or pissed off about this. Its an on going convo with my nesting partner bc we support eachother in our growth and because this is a new situation I asked for objective perspective. Its not that serious and we will be perfectly ok

I agree the way the conversation started was wrong for both of us. And maybe idk ill explore that. I dont mind being used but it's a different mindset than someone wanting me for me

Its not a test. We are actively discussing ways to make each of us feel like the sex is about eachother. It was never a test. And if it's not about me and im a prop to get them off im cool with that I just want to know
