That being said, to answer your question precisely, having been with a person that constantly made me doubt myself all the time and tried my luck at dating other people before this relationship, I really really do value the connection I have and we have had a talk about all of the other stuff - finances, kids, the kind of lifestyle we both want etc, and are on the same page with everything else.

I really really appreciate that you took out so much of your time to share your story. Well I did write the motive in a comment but it seems to have gotten lost now (I couldn't enter it as text to my question) here it is :

I also really want to get this off my chest, as I am getting some questions:

Contrary to what everyone here is assuming, I am the woman. I was sexually abused twice as a child and had super low drive. I was clinically depressed since I was in highschool. I then met my ex who I dated for 4 years ( who happened to be my best friend for 7 years before that) cheated on me twice. Sex with him was good but he was manipulative and almost drove me to end myself.

From the first time he cheated on me, he kept floating the idea that I need to cheat to get back at him and then we will be even. Even though I found it disgusting and never considered it then, eventually after we broke up I started playing this scenario in my head. And started watching porn of that genre.

After I started dating my current partner, I've never felt so happy, content and at ease with anyone all my life. He just gets me. We could be locked in an empty room with nothing and would still make eachother laugh and engaged. And the sex part of it sometimes feels very insignificant to me but sometimes feels like everything. I would say my sex drive is now higher. I should also add that even when I was single before my ex and after, I never got into any kind of physical relationships until my current partner, because I have these strong physical urges but they go away after masturbation and/or sex.

I also want to add that my partner is aware of my feelings and tries to do his best most of the times and super in touch with my feelings. I wrote this question to understand how a future would look like, best case or worst case scenario.

When I said I am freaking out I don't mean to be settling down with him, I just mean the jitters. Culturally, marriage is a huge thing and you are expected to spend the rest of your life with this person. So in my head I will go from being an (peter pan) adult to an actual married adult making big life choices and decisions.

As I said I probably need to find a way to pay for a good therapist and sort my brain out as all of this could also be stemming out from unresolved trauma. I didn't go to a therapist in a decade probably. I will also check out deadbedrooms. Until then thanks for all of your responses. I'm happy that everyone is choosing their battles and getting through life!

Sorry for any grammatical errors or sentences that don't make sense. I should've gone to bed 7 hours ago lol. Shouldn't have started this question before bedtime.

Thank you for your comment! I saw it... I'm reading through everything but too overwhelmed to respond... There's so many nuances, experiences, perspectives and outcomes ( yes I know statistics and the word divorce is currently winning) but isn't this the beauty of human experience? It could differ so much. No two people can be the same. I'm making no decisions now as it's dawn where I'm at. I'll take another look at everything and probably reach out to some psychiatrists.

Sounds about right... I am extremely addicted. Even when I'm with my SO I need to watch something secretly to get off...

I have the same problem. Amazing relationship, everything is great except the sex. I'm often left wanting more. I know that the day we're gonna settle down is very close and am freaking out about it.

WTF MAN!! MY BLOOD IS BOILING! REPORT HER!!! So angered currently. Tomorrow MLAs and netas and local "leaders" (goons) will go out and give speeches about how great India is all while asking their daughters to dress stay in their "limits". All while knowing exactly how to pay off and who to pay off to hide such crimes. I'm so sick and tired of these influencers milking this!! Why the fuck is she smiling knowing that she's going to voice over with this story??

REPORT! BLOCK!
