    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    I am feeling like some people are too defensive to hear what I am trying to get across? Why I didn't say that? Because I am saying is addressed to men so I didn't think it was neccessary to state something that as men you would know how desire is felt for you better than I. The women I am...

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    No, I was not shocked that your therapist said that, I was shocked that it isnt common for them to say. I was under the impression it was normal. I am glad she said it though. I understand why you feel the way you do. I feel very misunderstood. Perhaps the fault lies in my communication. It...

    @Sietz i am sorry you feel that way. I do belive there are differences, especially in turn ons but I was also trying to figure out if @ben1982 was making an anti trans/gay post.

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    @Mach123 I thought your reply was aimed at someone else untill you mentioned the list. No anger just desire to help. I feel confused as I tried to validate your feelings while being a little shocked that people would find what your therapist said shocking. If I gave the impression that men...

    @ben1982 your post is kind of cryptic. We dont shy away fron the tough subjects here, but your post could be interpreted severl ways; good, bad and neutral. Obviously cis women have a vagina uterus and breasts and primary hormones are estrogen and progesterone allthough there are others such as...

    Reiki for therapy dog

    That is awesome they have one there. We could use one. We had a woman who did chakra work but I found out tonight she isnt working here as of this week. I cant really practice here. When I first got here I was suffering from over stimulation. The chakra worker told me to shut down my reiki...

    Reiki for therapy dog

    Reiki is one of many types of energy work. I guess I just get frustrated, while @KwanYingirl describes as reki is not reki in its pure form. It works for you and I couldn't be happier about that, but I have been tasked with job of confronting misrepresentations of reki.

    That isnt always the case. Sometimes they just dont care if they have other sources.

    No support or love in my life. mean mother & people

    @Friday, sage words. Can you limit the time you spend around her? What about canned responses that dont reward her with you getting upset. If she says you will never get a place, smile and respond "probably so" and then disengage her, pick up your phone and act too interested in your phone to...

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    Strange, I have heard that sex means love to a man alot. I dont think anyone here thinks sex is just sex to most men in a relationship. For 95% of women in relationships it is not a control issue or manipulation. It is not malevolent. Womens sexual desire is based on many things, and if just...

    Death I was orphaned before i turned six and still long for parents

    I understand the longing for parents, especially a mother. I have written about the same feelings. I just want the craving to go away. You aren't alone, many people on my thread expressed the same desire. I think a group brainstorming might be a good idea.

    I dont believe he understands what he is being told, nor does he listen to his advisors. He is senile and theyvare just baby sitting him while trying to give the apperance of a semi functioning white house.

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    Your interpritation might be using it as controll or a reward or punishment, but that just shows you are looking through a mans eyes and thinking sexual desire works the same for men as it does for women. We see sex as very different. @ @somerandomguy with a little work, your situation should...

    Poll Does one partner want sex more than the other (in your relationship)?

    No one is obligated to have sex, even in marriage. Things to say to a hessitent person? It is ok, I love you and want to be with you for more reasons than just sex. I dont want you to feel pressured or uncomfortable. Maybe we can come up with activities you do feel comfortable with like mutual...

    Relationship Advice emotional shut off

    Wow, that is an intense response to a person who isnt in a place to be able to handle that much emotional stimulus, hence the reason he is isolating. He cant answer something he doesn't know the answer to. He cant communicate on the level you want him to when there is reduced blood flow to...

    Closure... joke, fairy tale , or possibility?

    Yes, I can relate. I am very familiar with misunderstandings. Closure? Not sure it is always possible but the need can go away with time easier than abusive and traumatic relationships.

    How to stop wanting something i can never have. it is desperate now.

    Anything I want more? Nothing that I can have. Siblings, cousins, and most of all to be a mother. It isnt my fate to belong to a family in any capacity. I heard "you dont have a family" too many times from my grandmother growing up and even as an adult. That is the tip of the iceburg.
