Re: talking about making our relationship open

maybe he isn't changing his perspective but rather gradually becoming more informed and feeling less opposed to the idea without being fully okay with it, if that makes sense. i genuinely believe he would always be 100% honest with me on things like this. he isn't the type to totally disregard his o...

Re: talking about making our relationship open

that article was helpful, thank you. while i believe he will compromise at least a little, he probably will give a hard no but over the course of several conversations he's slowly growing more okay with the idea i think. i wouldn't want to end the relationship because he means a lot to me and we've ...

Re: Sex

you can't be ready if you don't understand the physical part of it. and there's no one physical part, it depends on who you're having sex with. i would spend some time reading up, especially here on scarleteen since there's so much inclusive and accurate information. if that's too much work for you,...

talking about making our relationship open

hey guys, so in the past i've had a difficult time staying monogamous in my relationships which has caused me to leave those partners because i did not have the communication skills to talk about polyamory. now that i'm in a committed and fulfilling relationship, i do not want to make that same mist...

Re: stressed about results

Re: stressed about results

i'm not getting help unfortunately, and the only mechanisms i really have for anxiety are when i'm having a panic attack, nothing to distract from anxious thoughts.

i checked out that article and i've been trying to do some of the ideas there, so thank you for that!

Re: complications with bf

i haven't introduced the topic to my therapist because i was mainly seeing her for emetophobia treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy. i know she has patients who have dispositions towards self image in correlation to eating so i don't doubt her ability to help. a part of me feels like this is s...

Re: complications with bf

my mom sees it as just "a teenager thing" and kind of brushes it off. i don't show signs of being physically unhealthy - i'm at an optimal weight for my height and i'm not constantly getting sick, so i can understand why she might just see it that way. i'm thinking of making the appointmen...

Re: complications with bf

yes, i do have a therapist but my mom hasn't scheduled me any appointments with her in awhile and she gets aggravated when i ask because she doesn't think i need that kind of help anymore. i wouldn't say it's an issue of him being helpful or not. i just really, really don't like being a source of co...

complications with bf

so this is a bit hard to talk about, but i'm not sure what to do. i know my boyfriend cares about me a lot and loves me, and naturally he makes sure that i'm taking care of myself and doing alright. i have an issue where i only eat once or twice a day, and the portions are very small. i don't know i...

Re: boyfriend and sti testing

we haven't sat down and had an actual discussion about it, but i've been with him while he was having flashbacks and experiencing painful memories of his abuser. it helps to give him a bit of space but still be there with him. but actually, shortly after i posted this yesterday he and i did have a c...

boyfriend and sti testing

hey everyone, so my boyfriend and i recently began getting sexual in our relationship (nothing too explicit, mainly just hand-to-genital stuff) and i really want for us both to get tested for sti's before we make the leap into oral sex. the problem is, i'm a virgin and he isn't -- and his previous p...
