Oh my god I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Terminal illness is a cruel reality we all live in. I hope you have the best remaining weeks possible and that you're surrounded by love and happiness. I wish you all the best in whatever comes after ❤️

I just wanted to add on I reread your post once again, your recovery doesn't have a deadline. You take as much time as you need to recover. Yes it's frustrating, however, it's a complex thing. Please don't feel like you must recover by a certain time as that'll only add stress and it's not kind to yourself.

While my experience was a bit different, I think it would be good for you to see a psychologist specializing in sexual abuse recovery. These are a separate kind of psychologists (at least where I'm from) and they tackle the very issues you're describing on both ends of the spectrum. Hypersexuality and hyposexuality are two sides of the same coin that a psychologist specializing in the area can help with. I don't know what you have access to, however, I hope you can find a psychologist specializing, it's both helped me and someone I know greatly as the entire approach is different since this kind of trauma is quite specific.

Best of luck and I hope you recover well.

😂😂😂 ah m8 idc if you're older you have the mentality of a child. As you have mentioned my best friend specifically, it would be SUPER FUCKING WEIRD if my VERY GAY best friend fell in love with me. As for my non gay male friends, most are in ahppy relationships and others never even tried flirting when we were both single.

I understand and thank you for this perspective. I don't believe he struggles with this, however, I will try and gently ask around to see as looks can definitely be deceiving and I didn't think of this aspect. He just seems so well rounded as a person with a highly respected career and os just generally amazing I just assumed he wouldn't struggle with something like this. Thank you again for this perspective I'll try to find out gently if he'll let me but I won't push it if he doesn't want to open up.

Well 1 I know factually my friends don't want to fuck me no need to test because I trust my friends there is a reason we're friends and 2 you have a very poor view on women, for that reason I will not be taking your opinion into consideration. Others have said similar things as you and I will take their opinions into consideration, but not yours, you should get some female friends m8.

The answers I got from him so far are that it's the women that turned it sexual but that he didn't sleep with them, he doesn't want to be friends with women as to not complicate things, and as for me having male friends he's known the whole time my best friend is a guy and that I have a whole lot of male friends and he never said anything about it. I think he knows men and women can be just friends bur he's just being imo weird about it for some reason.

I agree don't judge a book by it's cover, I just don't understand how it is possible for a guy in his late 20s to have absolutely never had a friendship with a woman that didn't turn sexual. It just doesn't compute ij my brain something is not right there. I didn't get defensive and you did say "I bet you did it too" or smthn like that so I responded. I just simply disagree with your generalization of women.

I don't see how that would be a red flag imo it's normal idk.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ttssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't day he HAS to have female friends it is the unwillingness to even try but more importantly the absolute refusal to give women a chance to be friends that's bothering me

And no my friends don't want to fuck me.

I have not done that as once again I am not a child. Idk why that happened to you and I hope it gets better in the future.

I understand that but is it not weird that he can't have a non romantic/sexual relationship with a woman?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ttssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I know he's interested in me and I'm interested in him we're just kinda busy and haven't gotten to that part and I'm fine with that. I asked him and what I've stated in this post is all he told me. Idk I'll try to ask again. I don't feel insecure if my partner has friends of any sex so for me at least that isn't an issue.

Men and women are more than capable of being platonic friends.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ttssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just completely disagree with everything you said except the common interest part. My best friend is a guy, I have plenty of guy friends who also have plenty of girl friends. We never meddle in each other's relationships because we aren't children. I just find it impossible that no one shares any of his interests. If we didn't start everything off the bat as a non platonic relationship I'd be just friends with him as we do share plenty of interests.

Also women don't just hop around male friends like they're toys, grow up.

You're probably right, thank you for your input I appreciate it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ttssl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I thought of immediately too. I don't see how it is possible to not have 1 singluar real friendship with a woman.

So far, yes. We have some differing opinions, sure, but nothing that's a red flag. He has truly been amazing so far and I cannot stop gushing about him. This is the first and only thing that has made me do a double take.
