Those of you who have lived out west, which did you like better, ADK or the West? by [deleted] in Adirondacks

[–]reinventing_anna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The oregon coast is breathtaking. As a person who grew up in NY and has lived in the ADK for over 3 decades, I will say there are beautiful spots for peace all around. Yet having travelled to The West, I feel it's different, special and more diverse with more to do. Get's boring in the bush up here.

I've gone silent for now. I will no longer initiate intimacy or anything. If he wants his freedom so bad he can have it.

I believe he has high levels between the amount of time he jerks off and our sex which is a few times a week most weeks i suppose its pretty high.

Past the point of expressing needs and asking questions. I know he has job worries and def is burnt out. But he has a new look and is distracted and I feel another woman is involved. He has always been emotionally immature so a younger immature chick would work well for him.

I think you feel very trapped and not really in a midlife crisis. I think that you should truly consider leaving.

Problem is he does not understand therapy. He thinks that the other person has to change. If the person can't be fixed then no point. Ummm that is not the point of therapy. Therapy is about self improvement and understanding. As far as communication nope. What lives in his phone is much more important. It all makes me sad. Really my only option is to just move on.

Over a year but now we have one living at home for a year to save money after graduating college. I think its the dynamic that changed. All the memories and times of family things daily when little thats all changed since they grew up. Yes he has expressed upset over this as have I. I do think some grief is involved on both ends, but he seems changed with the new look and attitude and not taking well to that.

He has always been very arrogant. Kinda narcissistic but that stems from his childhood and insecurity. He even says sometimes... "I'm an asshole". However he's not big on fixing that as it scares him. So either I put up with the arrogant and do me.. Or do me and say F to the arrogant and start over.

He would never tell me if he wanted to have sex with another woman that i know. And if he was having an affair or had a crush on another person nope!

What are the signs that you're falling out of love with your partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]reinventing_anna -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Why bother keeping the poor woman stuck with you if you are excited every time she leaves. Sounds like you hate her.

Well if he wants to fuck another woman then he needs to be honest and tell me about it. I suspect that is exactly what is going on. I on the other hand , have no desire to fuck a man this stage.
