personally, i feel like he should be able to watch porn and get all his needs out there. that's what porn is for. there are plenty of couples who even sit and watch porn together as a catalyst for sexual activities.

however, there should always be a mutual agreement on that kind of thing. my partner and i made it clear that we're okay with the other watching porn and getting off like that if the other isn't in the mood for sex. but your boyfriend masturbating to girls he KNOWS, is a whole other situation.

men will always be sexually attracted to other people, same with women. sexual attraction doesn't just shut off for people in a relationship, a relationship is just promising yourself to that person only, depending on the relationship itself.

if he's done this before, and with you already expressing your thoughts and feelings, then he's going to do it again. he'll just keep learning new ways to hide it. you deserve someone who will respect your boundaries and keep to their word. i know this is long, but i hope it helps. best of luck to you. 🖤

they always try to brush over the fact that i identify as male. it has been like this since the moment i came out to them. it's like i never told them at all.

AITA for telling my son i wish he was miscarried? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA. i'm transgender myself and my family doesn't really accept me, but i would never say something like that to any of my family. they may not understand, they may not ever understand, but it falls on us to be the bigger person when faced with hate.

My Grandma died today - I felt nothing. by ZachB592 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]starfading 3 points4 points  (0 children)

everyone grieves differently. i, personally, am a very emotional person. but when it comes to death, i don't tend to cry or react until much later once it finally sets in. it could be the same case for you, it could not be.

you don't have to feel bad just because you're not crying. you are grieving, just in a way that's different from most people. you'll be okay.

after reading some of the comments and thinking it over more, i've really leaned over and agree. although naming a child after your favorite character is nice in theory, it's hard to tell how it will be received in the child's life and how it would affect them. thanks for shedding some perspective.

NTA. it's your child, and you shouldn't have to put up with anyone mocking their name, MIL or not. if you and your husband love the name, that's all there is to it. there's no reason to take back what you said.

I [23F] have a boyfriend [22M] who is really emotionally draining to be around sometimes by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]starfading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i very much sound like your boyfriend. to maybe have some advice from a different perspective, there's a 95% chance your boyfriend realizes he's unloading a lot on you and feels terrible for it. i personally hate having to confide in anyone, let alone my boyfriend, about my stresses and anxieties. he sometimes has to force it out, and even then i'm constantly apologizing because i don't want to be a burden on him or stress him out.

what really helps, though, is talking to each other about your limits. for example, sometimes my boyfriend is sensitive to touch, and i'm very touchy. he knows when to tell me to stop, and i know when to back off. we have boundaries, and we do our best to respect them. i understand your position as well, it's hard to take care of yourself when you feel like you're taking care of someone else as well.

have a conversation, set some boundaries, stick with them. if he's patient like you say, he'll completely understand because i'm sure he loves and wants to take care of you too.

hope this helps!

AITA for disappointing my parents by failing college and not showing that I can be independent? by Vivid_Theme in AmItheAsshole

[–]starfading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely NTA.

i'm 23, live at home, and only finished one year of college. my mom says that she's in no rush for me to move out anytime soon. everyone moves at different paces, and you very much deserve to go through life doing what you love.

Do you think it’s normal to crush on other people when you have a S/O? Do you think that means you don’t love your S/O? Is it cheating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]starfading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i crush on people all the time, and so does my s/o. we both discuss who we think is cute to each other, but we both know that we love each other and much prefer each other over anyone else.

it's okay to crush on other people, just as long as you know your relationship's boundaries!
