What would that hobby be? Hooking up with 10 men per week? ? becoming a mother ar 26? Would have a difficult time mixing in with my science career and all my plans and projects! You also seem very concerned with defending promiscuous behaviour. Is it because you can't get anyone to tolerate you for more than a couple months? Because a person who hooks up a lot in my eyes it means they can't get anyone to stay ? maybe thats you, maybe that's her, who knows!! It isn't me though. I have more things to offer other than my body so to me sex means very little ,I also seek a lot more than that in a relationship and so I cannot understand people who do casual or have many partners. But that's just me ?
I think that when you truly love someone, they simply become that attractive to you. I've dated people who I found incredibly attractive when I was with them but in the future, after we separated and the feelings subsided, I didn't find them attractive anymore.
It may be a stretch but I feel like if he doesn't view OP like that, he probably doesn't love her like he may have claimed.
I'm currently on a few meds and I see my psychiatrist every 3 months to make sure they are still working. Medically I am fine. Our home is the only place that I want to keep control over as it is my primary living space and my doctor has okayed that. she is aware of this so yes, it did come out of the blue
If you aren’t comfortable then you aren’t comfortable.
Not sure the type of relationship you have, but if it’s normally communicative then him bringing up sexual fantasies and desires is no slight on you; he is just expressing himself. As long as he doesn’t keep bringing it up after you say no, I wouldn’t think too much into it.
If you are interested, but are worried the person being another woman because of emotions, then pick a woman who has no interest in men. She touches you, he touches you, but they don’t touch each other. All the focus would be on you.
I have anxiety, I struggled with this when I was younger. You’re being outstandingly, mindblowingly, supportive which is awesome. Personally the issue entirely went away for me after being a bit into the relationship unless I was under a ton of stress and couldn’t get my mind off it.
When my partner was angry or accusational or anything like that it wouldn’t only make it worse, it would kill my interest in trying as much as I would like because I wanted to avoid that reaction that was usually born out of women thinking men are constant walking erections you could will to existence unless you were elderly.
So props there. I’d hold the course, speak to a doctor at some point, potentially get some pharmaceutical help if the doctor recommends it.
When I struggled with it I was extremely extremely fit and healthy, was able to rule that out but can always impact it as well.
Are you usually afraid of things that you also want?
Does the idea of still being with her in five years make you feel happy? Does it make you feel bad?
If she leaves today and is married to someone else in a year, how will you feel about that?
As far as I can tell from your post, you are more afraid of committing to her than losing her. You should let her go. There’s a really good chance you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, but who you are right now is not a guy who values her enough to deserve the role of husband to her.
Not getting married is fine. Wasting someone’s time is not. You and she don’t share goals right now. Set her free to find a man who does.
I would ask him to clarify your relationship. If you are only hooking up or friends with benefits that is something you should both be clear on. You don't want to end up with serious feelings if that is not the relationship type you are in.
It sounds like she honestly didn’t want to go. I mean she took off Friday for the trip but didn’t leave till 3PM and it’s a 3-4 hour drive to get there. So she would arrive at 7PM. Why even take off Friday then.

Good luck.
Right, because some initial negative reactions to something means that somebody definitely doesn't wanna do something. You born yesterday or what?
But why would you even bring that up here, in a completely different situation?
Creepy intentions. Also, watch your drink around that guy.
We have marriage counseling coming up! He’s also going to one by himself.

You don't owe us diddly, we're just so glad you're in a better place!
