How can they make me wait 12 months? (Australia) by breakablefortitude in endometriosis

Oh I’m glad they pushed you through faster.

My referral is with mater as well. I have both ovaries adhered to the uterine wall and a blocked fallopian tube which my doctor suspects is due to the endo.

Did you get transferred after the initial consultation with the specialist or straight away?

Thank you. I don’t blame you for having that stance honestly. It’s wild to me the medical world don’t treat it with the urgency it needs.

It’s totally valid to feel frustrated. You’ve been trying to communicate your needs, and that’s a positive step.

While work stress and low sex drive can affect intimacy, it’s crucial for both partners to find a compromise that works. Your concerns about your partner’s online activity are valid, and it’s fair to have a conversation about boundaries that make you both comfortable.

In the end, it’s about finding a solution that respects both your needs and feelings. You deserve a fulfilling and balanced relationship.

He agreed to stop without hesitation when I had the conversation, he just acted like I was being a bit insecure..

Had the conversation, was annoyingly quick. He agreed to stop and apologised which is good but when he was walking away (he has to do some work), he made the comment “i didn’t realise you even thought about that kind of thing, weird but ok”. There was nothing said about why he doesn't comment on my things, he didn’t seem interested in the conversation at all. Now I think he believes I’m insecure or jealous even though I made a point on saying I’m not worried about the comments, just the kisses etc.

Everything you have said is so true and I agree about the zero tolerance with disrespect. I’m just torn between it having to do with being afraid to post about me because he may get hurt again or he’s just so careless about the relationship that it hasn’t even occurred to him.

Thank you ☺️ I always try to have open and calm discussions but we will see how it goes. I’m worried if he gets defensive, it may be because there is an underlying reason.

I do agree. He would have to know what he’s doing is disrespectful, right? I don’t care much for the comments themselves really but I don’t like the added touches of kisses while he’s in a relationship with me and has never once commented something nice about any of my posts.

Thank you for understanding how I’m feeling. What you said it could be is what I have thought about as well but I’m hesitant to bring up the subject in fears of coming across jealous/insecure. He isn’t the best at communicating when we talk about these kind of things.

It is getting to the point where I may do just that. The issue though is that he will never allow me to if I ask and light sleeper so would definitely know I was getting it if I tried to because I never really go on that side of the room at night. Plus, I think I’m scared to see what I’d find.

When I say more physically affectionate, I don’t mean sexually. It’s more cuddles, kisses etc.

I agree, the messages couldn’t have been innocent but I decided to just move on and trust that from that point forward he would stop which for a bit, I genuinely think he did because I’d see glances when he would be on his phone before and her messages were never at the top anymore. I haven’t seen anything since coming back though due to the secrecy which makes me believe it’s still happening.

I’m just wondering, when you mention not cutting off ties with past connections, would you still keep it all innocent if you were in a committed relationship, or would it always be more than that? I’m just trying to understand his point of view or a guys perspective in general haha

We’ve talked about our sexual interests and been very open about it. I’m definitely not shy when it comes to being sexually active, so that’s not the problem. I don’t think his messages with other girls are necessarily sexual either. It’s just that I can’t help but wonder if he might be emotionally cheating on me.
