How has your significant other helped you love your body?

How has your significant other helped you love your body, and how have you helped them love theirs? For me, I've always been really self-conscious of my stomach. Back a few years ago, I had an eating disorder and I exercised constantly--obsessing over my lack of a perfectly-flat belly. When over-exe...

Birth control side effects

I am confused about one side effect in particular of birth control--and I'm wondering if someone could clear it up. Weight gain. I hear some sources say certain forms of birth control cause weight gain, while other sources say the opposite. For instance, currently I'm taking a course on nutrition an...

Re: Porn: My boyfriend's view and my view.

I would like to discuss it with him. He often stresses to me that if I need to talk about anything, he wants me to communicate with him. So, I do not think he would react badly--he would want me to talk to him about this. But, I have a lot of anxiety about hurting his feelings or making him uncomfor...

Re: Porn: My boyfriend's view and my view.

I've been in this relationship for almost a year now, and I can say it's been completely wonderful--and we have had no issue with our differing views--about 99% of the time. The relationship has required that we communicate very clearly and often, from the beginning, so that we can understand one an...

Porn: My boyfriend's view and my view.

When it comes to pornography, my boyfriend and I have very different viewpoints. He does not watch porn now (and I wouldn't have started dating him if he did), but he used to in middle and high school. Basically, I am quite religious, and he is an atheist, and our differing opinions of porn come fro...
