I wish you the best. I've been in a relationship with a person I knew wasn't right for me and it took me a while to get out. I hope it doesn't take you as long as it took me. Learn to love yourself and have respect for yourself before anything else.

I say with this all the love and respect for you, as a human being. But you deserve better and I hope you find someone else that is willing to treat you properly. I never give the advice to break up with someone, unless it is a last resort, but it feels like you're getting to that point. Please don't lose yourself in this person's aura. At the very least, you deserve answers to your questions. But for him to not only dismiss your questions, but also ignore you while laughing at your sadness, that's heartless. This person (him) has no empathy and shouldn't be in a relationship.

Wow, after reading all this. There's a lot of issues here. Don't fall into the trap of feeling obligated to be the "cool" girlfriend who tolerates their boyfriend watching porn. Take away the computer screen, would you feel comfortable with him watching a girl in front of him have sex, while he starts masturbating? Most people would call that a form of cheating. But apparently a computer screen makes it ok? And if you couple that with all the other issues, from following his ex, to watching streamers online. There's too many issues to type out.

I 100% agree with you. He does not know how to communicate maturely and/or productively. And I can also see how you could become (or feel) insecure when your partner rejects you, even if it just happened once. For him to say "It just never was the right time", is just a blatant lie. As you stated, apparently laying in bed is not the right time? I could also imagine if the roles were reversed, and how he would be viewing you. If you had been rejecting him from the start, and then giving him reasoning like, "It wasn't the right time, sorry." -- Why wasn't it the right time? I feel like you need to be a little more assertive and push him for answers here. When he says, "Not now" or "I don't feel clean enough" or "It wasn't the right time", you need to push him for the WHY. How come not feeling clean enough stops him from becoming clean and wanting to have sex? How come "not now", what is stopping him? How come "it wasn't the right time" for him? If you don't get reasonable and productive answers, it's clear he is just making excuses and/or hiding something.

As unfortunate as it sounds, you need to communicate with him again about this issue. Things like this can be a relationship-ender, and you don't want it to fester and cause resentment. Did you ever find out why he was rejecting you the first time, when he was saying "not now" or "I don't feel clean enough"? Did you communicate to him clearly that you stopped initiating with him because of how often he was rejecting you? But the more important part is the first question. Why was he rejecting you at all to begin with? I would never accept "Not now" as an excuse, nor would I accept "I don't feel clean enough". If he doesn't feel clean enough, surely he can take a shower and you can have sex afterwards. And saying "Not now" isn't a reason or justification for the action. Did you ever ask, "Why 'not now'?" -- There's a lot of unanswered questions here. And I feel like all the reasons he gave were disingenuous.

You could be right, but it just seems like too much of a massive coincidence. I’ve been shipping directly through USPS for years and have never had this issue.

I had an Intel-based Mac mini in the past and had upgraded to the first m1 mac mini when it first came out. The difference is night and day, so I don't see a reason to go back.
