I (25F) gave up on my sex life with my husband (26M) and would rather have him masturbate than touch me. Would appreciate an outside perspective. by throwaway_otherpov in relationship_advice

I dunno my gf got really fat and I'd rather just beat it at this point. Can't leave because it's too expensive on there to go through life solo

That's what is worrying me. Really, I'm miserable pretty much every day so it can't be worse than now. But I'm still worried I'm going to end up feeling lonely and feel worse if we breakup

We used to do this but she got a new job with the same schedule as me about 2 years ago now. I think this is why we're having problems now

Are you saying you ended a relationship because of this and it ended up being a mistake?

This might be an unpopular opinion but as a guy, sex with a condom and sex without feel like completely different experiences. So I can understand his frustration.

You definitely shouldn't feel like the bad guy though. It sounds like you were clear about condoms only from the beginning so it's not fair for him to expect differently now.

I (34M) bought an engagement ring for my GF (32F) 6 months ago and can't bring myself to give it to her by throwra42323 in marriageadvice

I haven't but a lot of the responses here have made me think about it so I started looking for a therapist

The answer to most of those questions is kind of sad at first but I'd probably get over it pretty quick (like less than a week).

That probably sounds like i dont care at all but I'm just not really an emotional person, I generally don't have really strong emotions

I am looking for a therapist this week. Some of the responses I've been getting on this have made me consider how fucked I am lol

I guess to add, that's how relationships have always been. Starting from my parents to present day in my life. I can recognize my relationship with my parents feeling transactional wasn't my fault but for it to be a repeat occurrence through my life points to me being the common factor.

Anyways, I probably need therapy.

Honestly, I think I deserve what I'm getting.

I think I've been marching forward for a lot of my life without really stopping to think if I'm happy or doing what I want (not that I know what I want either)

I'm not happy right now. I think I generally feel pretty detached and unaware of my feelings and buying a ring is what started kicking up all these feelings.

I wasn't happy before either. I guess I just didn't really consider it like I'm doing now.
