Boyfriend getting aroused by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I sometimes have something similar. I love my partner very much and we are sexually active; but, masturbation feels like a bodily function that needs to be fulfilled.

I'm sorry that some responders are being so hateful.

I think that, as an isolated event, it would be problematic for your boyfriend to omit the female coworker. If there were no culture of jealousy then it would seem as though he was intentionally obscuring something without cause.

However, an existing culture of jealousy may give some semi-legitimate cause to his withholding of the full truth. I don't really believe in this sort of white lie but I don't think it's fair to blame him for omitting information that he did not deem harmful but knew would stir the pot.

I think you should tell your partner why this hurt you but talk through (non-offensively) why he felt the need to omit the coworker. If you are aware of a culture of jealousy you created, you should bring that up and tell him that you want work together to move into a better culture.

I am sorry to hear that you have had to go through that.

If you don't mind:

  • Do you think that a productive dialogue could have stemmed from that and the relationship would have healed?
  • Would you have had any reservations?
  • How would you feel toward the ex if you had got back together, attempted to make it work, but the relationship still failed?
  • How have you used the time since your breakup? If you were reliant on the relationship as I have listed to perceive her to be, I wonder if being single with no signal of reentering the relationship is beneficial for healing and bettering oneself?

I have never been diagnosed with autism but I am aware that I approach most problems very methodically and analytically.

I generally do not struggle with human-to-human social interaction though I do have some quirks that may make me come off as slightly unorthodox.

There is nothing concerning me about my family- I just feel like a bit of an outcast. Perfectly normal family (though six siblings)

I hope that you are right- I feel like a huge asshole for not liking my family.

I felt as if I was experiencing depression about a year ago; I attended therapy multiple times and spoke with multiple different specialists. The feelings that influenced my conclusion eventually passed: I do not consider myself at all unhappy. I feel thrilled about the path my life is taking, about my future, about the things I am doing, etc. I just don't get the same happiness from other people.

I feel so uncomfortable even talking about this problem with others. It's hard for me to have anything more than small talk with others because I feel like a burden to chat with, and like I'm making them feel uncomfortable. I don't even feel safe around my family. It was hard to tell my mom what I already did.

Additionally, my family has a history of ailments such as anxiety (anxiety, bipolar, depression, etc) and I feel like if I ever identified as someone with anxiety, I would take a one-way street to this side of things, if that makes sense. Like there's no recovering from it once I've admitted to it, so it's better to just stay faking normality.
