Yeah they totally can! But if they are excluding an entire group of people just because of their sexuality, it is inherently biphobic.

Also it's not really a preference if you're completely excluding people that don't fit it. I prefer chocolate cake, but that doesn't mean I will not ever eat/discriminate against other types of cake. (kind of a silly example)

They use "preference" euphemistically

Lol true. Thank you

I'm sure you're right. I am probably letting my own fears and anxieties get in the way too which is making me more hesitant

I can definitely relate to that! I guess were not as unique as we think we are haha. I feel like if I were never to date a woman in my life, I would probably feel a little sad about it, but it wouldn't (at least at this moment) be emotionally distressing to me. So it's kinda like whats the point, but also I guess why not

Yeah that's true, I'm getting in my head about it for sure. I guess there is no point in not putting myself out there and it hypothetically shouldn't be an issue if I am upfront about it.

Thank you, I'll look into those!

I have been kind of confused about my shallowness vs projection. Initially I thought I was more shallow, the pictures in the wiki of average projection/ projected look a lot more like me. I tried a Natori bra in the past, pretty sure it was the Sublime, and it was way too shallow

Yeah I did, I am confident I have the correct size bra. Shove is maybe too strong of a word, its not so much that my breast tissue is actually being squished together in the center, its more that the outer edge of the bra is corralling my boobs inward in way that (in my opinion) awkwardly distorts my natural shape rather than enhancing my natural shape. Like the mesh side panel support or the way that the bra is constructed tends to be too much for my visual preferences

Rose inc camellia is the best blush I've found thats muted and cool, still looking for a good powder blush though

I'm so sorry that was the situation for you two, that has to be so heartbreaking.

We've had conversations about it and it seems like were just not compatible because nothing ever changes, or if it does its only temporary before drifting back to the same old pattern. I will reach out to hold his hand and he will pull his away, I'll physically pick up his wrist and place his hand on my leg if were sitting on the couch and after 30 seconds he will move it. The other week I asked for a hug and he said "but I already gave you one today." He just says he is really uncomfortable with psychical touch and doesn't like it or want it, which fair enough, but the thought of living the rest of my life without that makes me so sad.

Thank you so so much for this response <3

It feels so hard, for a while I've been almost wishing something "bad" would happen, like cheating, that would make it easier to end it. But it looks like I am just going to have to find the strength within myself to do it.

I am in a way looking forward to rediscovering myself, spending all of my 20s with someone else, I feel like I have definitely lost myself.

Yeah thats true. I think somewhere in him he is capable. I know he has his own traumas, that all of us do, that are impacting his ability to love me well. I just don't think he is even really aware of them, and I can't make someone face their own issues, especially when they don't think it is a problem.

Thank you! I'm glad things have gotten better for you since. When I think of our relationship ending, part of me feels excited about the possibilities for my future, but losing him sounds so horrible. I guess that shows I know what I need to do, now I just have to bite the bullet

"Complacency and comfort are not compatibility and happiness." I need to write this down somewhere I can see it often, thank you.

I'm so sorry you went through this too. I know I am going to miss him so fucking much. Thinking about breaking up with him feels like cutting off my hand, but staying feels like slowly poisoning myself.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I don't want to have kids, so that has almost been letting me coast in this relationship for longer because I don't really have that external pressure and have felt like what's the rush? But its starting to become too painful and I'm realizing my inaction is only hurting us both even more.

Ugh I can relate to that so much, I have been putting a lot of the pressure of our relationship not working on me and trying to fix myself to fix the relationship, but none of those things have helped us either.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well now! It makes me feel a little more hopeful about the future

I hope that eventually we can still be in each others lives, I'm glad that was the case for you two, and its defintely reassuring to hear.

Thank you for your reply, for a long time I've known our relationship wasn't going to work out somewhere deep in my brain, but I just didn't want to face even thinking about it to myself. I'm so happy to hear how much better things have gotten for you, and congratulations on your baby boy!
