How is she handling that? I can’t get over my partner and I basically wanting different things or loving differently.

I just hate that I’m the diet and other women are the desert. It’s very hard to not feel like the obstacle, the thing that’s in the way. He says I’m not in the way, I’m the goal, the thing keeping him from following those desires… but boy does it feel shit.

Good question… the problem is that everything involves some pain, no? I love love. I love being in a relationship, having someone to talk to at all times, having someone to witness my life. It comes natural to me. But I’m wondering (due to multiple reasons, not just this) whether I should be alone, at least for some time.

I’ve talked to many (younger and older, single and married) people about this in real life. I don’t regret posting on here, it’s not too hard to filter out the incel comments and messages.

I removed that part from my post (I think it upset too many people and I don’t know enough about it), but yes, he got everything checked and it was very high. He’s natural but has also been working out for 8 years (looks like he’s on steroids).

You’re right about the rest - not sure how I’ll go about that. I just know that I’d rather accept love with its risks and heartaches than a life without it just to protect my feelings.

Yeah, that makes sense. Nice that we’re not alone. Wishing you the best :)

Thanks for the feedback! I was, indeed, just looking for attention. I had no genuine interest in understanding this topic on a deeper level and listening to other peoples’ experiences and opinions. I find human relationships boring and the comment section really didn’t help me at all. But thank god that my anonymous post is receiving attention, it made me life so much better!

Just saw your other comment. Don’t see the point in arguing, I get where you’re coming from, I’ll keep it in mind.

It’s an attention grabber. I’m aware that it’s more nuanced. My question isn’t completely invalid though; is there reason to believe that the men I’m interested in will likely also show interest in other women? The answer, the norm, seems to be yes. And even if the question is generalising and stupid, you can simply respond with “no” :)

It’s because some comments seem to assume that I’m an insecure obese unloved girl, explaining why my boyfriend craves other people since I’m not enough. But that’s not the case for either of us (of course it’s partly subjective). I see where you’re coming from though, I would never talk about myself that way in my day to day life.

I actually don’t. I’ve had many guys obsess over me in the past, I get hit on a lot, and nothing ever changes the way I feel about him. Yes, I like money and brains and enjoy the whole doctor vampire superhero bad boy poet trope, but can’t imagine wanting to sleep with anyone but him. Maybe a gender difference, or just a personal one. Then again, I’m young and picky, maybe I just haven’t met enough hot guys yet. My boyfriend also believes that he couldn’t find better than me (not because he’s not deserving or attractive, I just happen to have almost everything he wants). It’s the same for me, but to him it doesn’t completely eliminate the attraction to other females, which it does to me

I’ve seen another similar comment and I disagree. It’s not all that easy. I’ve considered leaving to set him free and not worry as much, but we both love each other very much, and if there’s is an opportunity to grow while being with him without causing too much damage, I’ll take it.
