How to handle Mismatched Libidos?

I (27F) have been married to my husband (27M) for 2 1/2 years, together for 4. At the beginning of our relationship, I told him the one thing that was off the table for me sexually was involving other

Hi Everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I know I will be rambling a bit so I apologise in advance. To provide some context, I (33 M) started losing attraction towards my GF (27)

She said she wanted to focus on herself and her job for the time being, and isn’t ready for a relationship right now as that is a responsibility she can’t tend to. I still want to be part of her l

I 27F get along and have a really strong connection with 44M. We are in the same profession (but don’t work directly together), have a lot of the same passions and interests/similar lifestyles. I’

I went to one and it was so loud and crowded. Barely any room to move. And you can’t hear anyone because it’s so loud. How would someone even be able to get women like this? submitted by

I don’t know where to post this. But I need advice. Last week me (M28) and my girlfriend (F26) were at my parents’ place just hanging out. She was chilling in the pool and I was playing with the d

I'm a man in my mid 20s and for what I could consider to be valid reasons (mental issues, 2020 pandemic, moving cities, etc) I've never had a serious long term relationship. Honestly, a big part of it

I have an issue that I don’t know how to address. I am starting to feel uncomfortable and I need some guidance. My boyfriend (57) of two years and I (40) have sex nearly every day. He’s always, an

I last posted a variation of this a little over 5 years ago. We're a little overdue for a repost. You know how every Uber rating is right on the verge of 5 stars unless something's particularly off? Everyone's all "A+++ would ride again." Same for eBay, Amazon, etc. You can think of /r/relationship_advice comments in much the same way, only inverted. Just about every post here talking about a problem is going to be a magnet for "break up with them" and "get rid of them" comments. Two things to keep front of mind when you're submitting: The vast majority of people posting here are posting because they've got a challenge they probably haven't been able to resolve on their own. In many cases, these challenges are either insurmountable or exceedingly difficult to manage. The majority of commenters aren't necessarily cynical/assholes, but combine both a one-sided account of what happened—your account—with each commenter's own potential history, grievances, etc., and the resulting brew is pretty dark, meaning that every post will get drenched in comments suggesting ending the dynamic. The number of serious comments suggesting an alternative to ending things is a good way to tell whether or not there's merit to, well, ending things. I'll carry that Uber analogy a bit further: Let's say you're asking about behavior that's so bad, the red flag's basically bleeding. Nearly every single comment will tell you to run, and you're having a hard time finding well-reasoned counter-arguments to it. Sounds like running is good advice. Zero stars on our inverted Uber scale; the relationship is cooked. Together but your s/o cheated on you once? Most comments will probably tell you to run because "once a cheater, always a cheater." Some comments might suggest you should stay and work it out, but the details of how the cheating happened might vary the number of these comments. Great; One or Two Stars. Married but your s/o got drunk and made out with someone else, felt awful about it, immediately left the event where they met that other person and told you what happened and apologized with no prior history of cheating? Many people might still tell you to leave (same reason), but odds are good that a fair number of people might suggest staying. Awesome; Two, maybe even three stars. Good relationship with your S/O but they forget to treat you in the love language you normally need to thrive? Maybe they forget to bring you token flowers/trinkets or other signs of appreciation but otherwise everything's pretty good? Many comments will probably be advice on how to communicate; there'll probably still be a good number of people suggesting you should just leave, but you can take these with a grain of salt. Three to four stars. Everything's rosey and you're looking for a way to celebrate your s/o's special promotion, anniversary, birthday, or something else? There'll be a few trolls who tell you to break up for asking the subreddit for advice, but it sounds like the relationship is four to five stars. You can apply this to any type of relationship question asked here. Platonic, professional, and other relationships that aren't exactly romantic, this still works. You get the idea. Basically, the people telling you to leave probably outnumber the people with less jaded opinions by an order of magnitude because many, many people have had shitty experiences that dominate their memories, so the best way to consider most advice here is to see whether other advice shines through the cosmic negativity background. If everyone's telling you to break up, that's probably what you should do, but if 1/4 of the comments are telling you another way, you'd benefit by giving that 25% a chance. TL;DR: The vast majority of comments will tell you to end things. It's a side effect of the fact that many people reading either have a very dim view of relationships or just do it for the drama. The more people tell you to consider something other than running, the more value there is in trying that other approach, whatever it is.

Comments open for a little bit because I know some of y'all want to vent about this, but try to be civil about it.) submitted by /u/eganist [link] [comments]

Would you guys break up if your partner called you fat? At first, he started fat shaming one of his coworkers. Then, I told him to stop. I gave him a compliment about his body (because I KNOW he has his insecurities and I always try to make him feel good) and he said “I was never the fat one in this relationship.” I gasped. He says, “uh oh.” I start crying. He goes “come on, your body is perfect. You don’t need to change.” I told him I was hurt and when i didnt pick up or text him the next 5 minutes, he called me rude and told me that he got bullied for being skinny and that he’s really offended that I did this to him… i just didnt pick up the phone. submitted by /u/1copingmechanism [link] [comments]

Hi all, So.... I broke up with my first boyfriend on our 1 year anniversary (very amicably). We grew a lot together, and gradually found ourselves in circumstances with quite different life priorities. I'm going through my first breakup of my life (I started dating late to really discover who I am as a single person). That boyfriend and I started dating intentionally, with the potential of getting married together. He and I had everything aligned: attraction, values, characteristics. We were very compatible and rarely had any fights. Maybe 1 in our entire 1-year relationship, which de-escalated the next day. I have a bit of fear of: how will I find Mr. Right? I would love to hear just hopeful stories about how you met someone so perfect for you after your first breakup. I want hope. submitted by /u/ichbinmusik [link] [comments]
