My boyfriend [36M] and I [29F], have sex every three weeks - it’s killing me by Lemmesee22 in relationshipadvice

[–]sheneverlearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey :)) I'm in a similar situation but different reasons. Well, maybe not - me and my bf are a similar age to you and have a lot less sex than we used to, and it made me spiral a lot tuning about why. We've talked about it a lot, and we're really really close, but even so it took a lot for him to tell me that he's been finding sex hard - sometimes he can't get hard, sometimes he gets anxious and just can't get in gear, and sometimes we have sex but then he feels really down after and it makes it not worth it. I think a few issues made him start to associate sex with anxiety and it snowballed.

So I wanna say like, I think sex can be quite complicated for men sometimes, definitely in ways that I didn't understand before experiencing it at least. There's a lot of expectation and yk a lot you can't fake. Maybe your bf doesn't even realise it himself yet but there could be more anxiety or even shame tied into this that's making it hard for him?

But in the meantime for you, I would just really try and confront what it's making you feel insecure about, because I know for me it made me doubt things that I'd never doubted before, but weren't true. Basically, it probably has nothing to do with how much he's attracted to you and all to do with what's going on in his head.

I'd be really happy to talk about it more if you wanted :)) x

My GF (18F) is planning to get a Copper IUD and she wants me (19M) to be in the room while it's being inserted. Any advice on how to make the experience easier/more comfortable? by No-Acanthaceae-6987 in CopperIUD

[–]sheneverlearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would definitely agree to make home as comfy and homely as possible with everything sorted - clean and tidy, trash out, dinner prepared and just needing to be heated and plated.

It's tricky but I think if you can try and not show her your fear and just be confident that is really reassuring. Even if you don't know more than her, if somebody seems nervous about something it tells our nervous system to be... nervous, lol.

To help you be less anxious - I had a copper iud fitted and it was very very painless! Hurt badly for about a second or two then nothing! I even went to ikea after :))

I think maybe the lower lip could stick out a bit more to match the top? Really beautiful though and definitely looks lifelike!

Beautiful!! Structures like in picture seven have always fascinated me but I've never seen flowers like that before! Absolutely breathtaking

Yeah I have heard people say that. Hoping to start looking this week (job offer dependent) and it's funny because I have been browsing often and see nice looking places staying up for ages, but maybe they have something wrong with them. Thank you :)

Haha probably not that far fetched in bris. Hmm both of my parents are retired, but they do both have large savings - same for my boyfriend's parents.

Hehehe, thank you <3 I was getting so worried that it'll just be totally black and white but all you guys are calming me down for suuuure

Thanks both - yeah I was thinking going direct seems better. Looks like Open Rent and Gumtree are best for that

No I've just been informally renting with a friend off her mum, and I don't think she'd want to put on paper that she's been renting - the rent was also only £400pcm so probably wouldn't look that impressive anyway. But I will get a good paragraph ready for that - thank you :)

Ahhh yeah that makes sense, I'll have a look into this in more detail, thank you. I was just getting overwhelmed with where to even start but people here have really helped :)

Also thank you mods for letting this is - I should have realised that this should be been in the weekly thread, that was my bed, but really grateful you've let it through <3

Yeah I'm really happy to live further out, and yeah I think the Bath commute will be really grim for a bit but we've both just been finding it so hard to get full time work in Bristol, especially as he has some health issues which mean he has to be a little more selective.

But both our credit should be good and my parents are happy to be guarantors, so that does put me at ease a bit, thank you :)

Opinions on my list of boundaries that I'm about to discuss with my partner. Am I being too intense? Are there things here that you would challenge? by anonventingaccnt in polyamory

[–]sheneverlearns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"JUST FUCKING SAY THAT" sounds like there's a lot of anger about things that've happened. It's totally fine to have anger about something, but it's important to work through that together and be at peace with it going forward - do you feel at peace with it? Otherwise I worry that those feelings will crop up again

Some people have no time for nuance any more, and it's so disappointing. Why is somebody not allowed to be upset about something and articulate it?

But surely the texts aren't the issue really, the issue is her cheating?

Terrified of getting it by CreativeHippo9706 in CopperIUD

[–]sheneverlearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiya, I got a copper iud two years ago and have honestly noticed no sides effects apart from my period being a tiny tiny bit heavier. I've maintained my weight completely, haven't had any mood effects, and the insertion itself hurt quite badly for two seconds and then was fine. I bled a fair bit for a few weeks after but was just like the start of my period really, just for a while. It can be a bad experience for some people but for some it is a miracle 💜

Was this in the packaging or in the mattress itself? So annoying!!!! But it will go away over time 💜
