Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: When there is a dead bedroom, the relationship is broken, by definition. That's why I take exception to "everything is perfect but the sex." A functioning relationship has a mechanism for handling problems, and the problems of one partner are considered mu ....
Comment preview: I can answer because I've been this person, both online and in person. When you try to solve a problem from the outside you try to balance the good and the bad and try to find a solution. But when the only info you have is from someone's description, you l ....
Comment preview: The main problem here is that you're having this conversation with us and not with her. There are all these things you don't like about the way your relationship is going and instead of facing that you present a false dilemma - grin and bear it or leave h ....
Comment preview: There's no magical cheat code. If somebody isn't interested in sleeping with you, there's generally no key combo that will change their mind. There's no secret universal signal that someone is interested and no one weird trick that will make all the ladies ....
Comment preview: If that were my relationship, me in your shoes and my SO in your girlfriends shoes.. here is what I would do. I would stop telling an opposite sex friend all the intimate details of my relationship under the pretense of 'looking for advice', and instead ta ....
Comment preview: You shouldn't get married to anyone who can't discuss relationship problems with you like a reasonable adult. Relationship problems happen in all relationships and have to be dealt with, if your partner can't work together with you to solve those issues t ....
Comment preview: I also think that *many* relationship problems are caused by an externalised lack of self confidence and self esteem... Example: girl who gets annoyed by her boyfriend's night time sexy shenanigans decides that he only wants her for sex and that he's being ....
Comment preview: I think that's fair. This sub is very quick to advise people to "leave." However, you probably do need to consider that: 1. Your girlfriend has different values than you in some serious respects, and she doesn't seem to be too concerned with things like * ....
Comment preview: I think by and large the consumers of erotica (myself one of them) understand that there's such a thing as artistic license in the text we read. We don't necessarily want to read a detailed description of a condom being put on in the middle of a sex scene, ....
Comment preview: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/3fbkag/my_26f_bf_28m_donated_about_5_boxes_of_my_books/ Here's a thread right now where a woman is upset because her boyfriend donated some books of hers to goodwill. All of the top comments are telling her t ....
Comment preview: Ok, so this is a problem you've got to deal with now or you're going to run into a pattern of "not being treated like a human being" in future relationships. The problem isn't that you posted in TRP. You're using that as a convenient straw man - not conve ....
Comment preview: I disagree. We've seen Widow's relationship grow and change with Cap (largely because it was the central character interaction for an entire movie), and I agree that we should see how it'll change/evolve during Civil War. But Widow/Hawkeye is a stronger re ....
Comment preview: >My girlfriend [F/26] and I [M/24] have been dating for over a year and a half now, and I decided to move in with her a little over a month ago. Uh. Wait a sec. 18 days ago you [M/23, at the time] [posted something about problems you were having with a ....
Comment preview: The thing is, we usually know that our emotions regarding something are inappropriate, too. Regardless of whether you think they're "appropriate" or not, they are what they are. It's cathartic for us to express these emotions. We choose to express them to ....
Comment preview: See, that might be an appropriate response to concerns raised in an 8 year relationship. Having some access to your partner's bank account would also be somewhat reasonable in an 8 year relationship. The problem is, you're dealing with relationship issues ....
Comment preview: You boyfriend sounds like an asshole. Let's go over this, okay: 1) He is emotionally abusive during sex. He says things that make you feel bad, things which you haven't given him permission to say. That is not okay. 2) He expects you to do all of the house ....
Comment preview: I posted a thread in Two X Chromosomes. I mentioned I was having a relationship difficulty. The post was huge, but one sentence got picked on. At one point in the post I mentioned that I met up with a classmate (a guy) and told him how upset I was. People ....
Comment preview: As a woman who has experienced low sex drive in a long term relationship (not a marriage but we were living together), I may be able to provide some insight, though I certainly don't presume to be the same as your wife. It's really hard to just 'do it' whe ....
Comment preview: > The only reason I feel the need to make my relationship "public" is for the validation/acknowledgement from others and also so there some accountability when I'm away That and you probably want to stop hiding shit from your friends. >Are there othe ....
Comment preview: Please, please talk to your wife and do what you can to close the gap. My husband I just separated 3 months ago because he "felt like something was missing." And instead of talking to me about it, pulled away and eventually had an affair. We were togeth ....
Comment preview: No it is not unrealistic to want your partner to tell you and show you that they love you. In fact it is a very basic need in any relationship. The problem here seems to be communication. You should start with determining what it is exactly that you want f ....
Comment preview: Our partners have a right to a past, and that means a right to have fond feelings for past partners. They did not spring into existence on the first date. Unless they are very young, they most likely have been in love and lust with people before us. Som ....
Comment preview: This is kind of a big opened ended question, so I'll reply with the same type of answer. I feel like a lot of relationship problems come from pure selfishness. This seems like the perfect example. You're so worried about how the other person is affecting Y ....
Comment preview: >Am I being too paranoid? No. I mean, there is nothing wrong with having a crush on someone while still in a relationship, the problem is that she did not set clear boundaries between herself and the other guy, like keeping the relationship strictly pro ....
Comment preview: It's not entirely their fault. Years of TV have probably distorted their relationship perceptions. As much as i hate to admit, my view of relationships was severely influenced by TV as i had nothing else to base it on. Of course now i just have to find a g ....
