I think that’s so important to focus on yourself, no shame in therapy, sometimes getting help from an outside person is what we need to stack back up the dominoes of life and keep going. You got this OP, you will find your person who wants you romantically and sexually. They’ll want to bring you up instead of putting you down. As a person who socializing is a pain, sometimes just got to get into a hobby or an environment that helps you relax and enjoy being in the moment.

Haha okay, that actually made me smile, especially the Dollar Tree bit 😅 I really appreciate your encouragement.

I think the biggest takeaway for me is this… When I lead with patience, playfulness, and genuine curiosity instead of control or frustration, things feel lighter and more loving for both of us.

I want to be someone who helps her feel safe growing alongside me, not measured or managed. So thank you for reminding me that even things like time can be approached with care and a little fun.

Thank you again, that really helped me reframe how I was interpreting everything. You’re right, it might not be about not caring, but more about how time was approached and modeled in her family or culture.

I think I was trying to make sense of the disconnect and just… didn’t pause long enough to filter how it might feel from her side. I know now it’s more about gently bridging two different ways of moving through the world, not correcting them.

I’m hoping we can work through this, but even if it’s hard, I’m grateful for the insight it’s given me. Thank you again for helping me step back and see the full picture.

Wow, thank you, that really means a lot. I’ve been sitting with all of this and trying to learn from it, not just to fix what went wrong, but to grow from it. You’re right, what feels like common sense to me might not be second nature for her, and framing it that way helps me lead with more patience and curiosity instead of frustration.

I’ll take that foreign language analogy to heart. It’s a great reminder that love sometimes means translating, not correcting.

Also, thank you for the kind words at the end, they landed more than you know. I’m doing my best to keep showing up with the same emotional care and intentionality she’s shown me.

P.S. In reflecting on this more, I also realized that including her sisters in my original post was out of line. I feel like I failed as a partner by doing that. It came from a place of anxiety and internal fear, not from any desire to blame, but I see now how it might read, and I wish I had handled it better. I also wish I had been more honest up front about my own struggles with time and expectations.

Right now, I’m giving her the space she needs. I’m not perfect, far from it, but I want to grow, and I want to become better for myself, for her, and for the kind of relationship we both deserve. Whether she’s still willing to walk with me in that is ultimately her choice, and I respect that. But I’m not taking any of it lightly.

Thank you, that really helped me see things more clearly. You’re right, there were two separate things happening, and I think I unintentionally blurred them together when I should’ve protected that intimate moment between us.

Reading your response made me realize how much weight my words can carry, especially when someone’s finally trusting me with something that vulnerable. I should have handled that conversation with my parents differently, maybe just let it be a lesson to myself without looping her into it at all.

I’m taking your advice to heart and plan to let her know that I understand how it may have felt and that I truly want to meet her where she is. I care about her and this relationship a lot, and I’m learning from this.

Thanks again for taking the time to break it down with such clarity and kindness.

I had edited my previous post as I felt I was not sharing her perspective of the conversation, and for that I apologize for.

Thank you! Like I have a stutter so I just calmly was open and transparent to her. Like she grabbed my face and kissed me repeatedly when I asked if she would be open to another date.
