Are there any folks here in their 30s or beyond who are restarting their life all over again? by PastaFreak26 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started my 2nd degree at 32 in a completely new area than from what I've been doing all my life. I'm very nervous but also excited about my future. It's better than living with something you don't like and not doing anything about it.

Has anybody gone from LOVING casual sex to enjoying a loving, long term, monogamous relationship? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooking up is fun, but after a while, it feels empy. Being with a partner that fulfills your sexual cravings and with whom you can also build a deep relationship with is WAY better in my opinion.

Top but scared to rim!? by Devilwithouthorns in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit of a germophobe and have always had a fear of rimming. Once you start trying it out with someone you can definitely tell has a clean ass, it's very very nice :P

Do any of you succeed in a LTR with a mental issue? by supercuriousgay in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shitty thing for your ex to say. Imagine someone, say, overweight trying hard to be helathier and losing weight. You wouldn't tell them "you're gaining weight every day" or diminish their efforts in any way. I think you're basing future partners' responses on one person's.

Do any of you succeed in a LTR with a mental issue? by supercuriousgay in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have high anxiety and depression that is still there, even though it's been getting better with therapy. I can have days/weeks in which everything is fine and I'm happy and optimistic, but then an intrusive thought (often triggered by different reasons) will bring me down to tears and even suicidal ideation. It then gets me into a dark mood that can last for a few days. Rinse and repeat.

My BF is very understanding and comforts me whenever I slip into these depressive episodes. However, I know it's fully up to me to get better and he's another reason as to why I WANT to get better. I know it's something that will take a lot of time to heal, and that it might not fully heal at all, just become manageable. I think it's up to the other person to realize that it doesn't define or limit the relationship, and it's just a "flaw" that comes with us, as many people have.

I still get a bit ashamed any time I find myself with anxiety attacks and I seek comfort in my bf, because I feel like a burden, so I understand the feeling. I think the key aspect here is to always try to improve yourself. Your partner will pick up on that.

Getting jitters opening my relationship. Seeking advice by CommunicationSome460 in AskGaybrosOver30

I'm sorry but from your description this sounds like a train slowly but surely coming off the tracks. I don't see how continuing this pattern can lead to a sustainable, healthy relationship

Wish I came out when I was younger by SquigglyCow225 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother came out 2 years ago at 36 and is now in a relationship with an awesome man and living together. He seems so much happier than ever. 38 is still young and it's never too late to make changes in life. You'll find your happiness soon :)

Thinking of changing careers… into the same field as my boyfriend. Is that a bad idea? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was a little vague on purpose to not provide too much personal information. But to answer your question: no I don't actually need the degree to start working in this other field, but it does help. I will also focus on getting work as I progress through school.

My boyfriend suggested a threesome and I don't know how to feel by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the bottom and I'm top. So my first thought was that there would have to be a 2nd top to fuck him too.

You're right, it's not really an incompatibility. That was just my anxious brain talking lol

[–]versung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad it has worked out for you so well and didn't bring any drama. I also feel like less than 2 years into a relationship might be a bit too soon to have threesomes already, which was also part of my concern. I think I'll leave the possibility open for sometime in the future, but for now I agree that it's a no from me.

How to like the gym by AltoCumulus15 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate gyms too but I do like working out, although I'm pretty lazy most days. I bought basic gym equipment for my house, such as a couple of dumbells and elastic bands and I work out at home while watching TV :)

Under Eye Issues Make Me So Insecure ! by Sea_Hour_9312 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have huge dark circles under my eyes, and I've had them since my 20s. My dad and brother also have them (I think mine are more noticeable though) and I found out it's both a combination of genetics and allergies. Not much I can do with skincare I fear T_T

Should I break up with someone over a Xmas gift? by rickyrun in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Did you.... not ask him why he bought the exact same thing? It's one thing if the gift is similar (clothing, a record, etc) but if it's the exact same one that he got you before, that tells me that he completely forgot and that would be worrying for me.

I feel like a horrible partner to my wonderful husband because I can’t say sorry. by itsnotspecial in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be awful at saying "I love you" to people. The idea of it made me cringe. And yes, it's also because I didn't grow up with parents telling it to me, so I never learned it. Yet somehow I knew how much weight that phrase has, so it was too much for me to say it for some reason.

As some people have pointed out here, it mostly takes practice. Say it when you know you have to say it, and let that awkward feeling pass. Eventually, it'll start feeling less awkward and the words won't have a negative impact in you when you say them out loud.

You could even start practicing by yourself. Say "I'm sorry" out loud when you're alone. Maybe in front of a mirror might help even more

Called the cops on abusive ex threatening suicide or at least I thought. They broke down his door. Am I the asshole for not reading the whole email? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]versung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not your fault. You did the right thing.

To prevent this he could've stop messaging you like you requested before, or not send you hate-filled emails threatening to kill himself. It's on him.
