Thanks!?

It's just a saying that means in the first 6 months to a year. The relationship is new and exciting, and you're infatuated, but after that the relationship typically changes, sometimes deepening in love and others seeing the others true colors and annoying tendencies.

I couldn't do that. I bet when the "honeymoon phase" is over you won't be able to either.

Your welcome ?

NASA satellite takes first full photo of earth in 43 yrs. Does he not believe NASA? Or any of the satellite pictures of earth? https://qz.com/458826/behold-nasas-first-image-in-decades-of-the-whole-earth/

I felt like this when I smoked and vaped...I could not stop. No matter how much I wanted to I just couldn't. Finally, I got an overwhelming desire to quit and did cold turkey. That was 3 yrs ago. If you cant do cold turkey and stick with it, then put yourself on a "moderate " schedule and stick with it as best you can, until you can quit. Doing it in moderate amounts will reduce some pressure from the psyche.

Really? Wow. That's pretty amazing. I doubt she really means it though. What about a three some? So, she's there and participates, so it's not technically cheating? I've not done this, ever, so it's just a suggestion that came to mind, but perhaps not a good one? I don't know.

@Deanna I don't really discuss my spiritual interests with anyone. I tried before and it just goes over their head. I don't think he should be jealous, that's pretty silly. If he is that controlling that is a red flag. Don't give up any of your interests (that aren't harmful) for another. In the end you would just resent him for it.

Think what you'd like.... I guess you've missed some threads and posts ... We can agree to disagree at this point. Dr Luv is great, that's why I named him Dr Luv (aka @Serotoninluv)

This forum is male dominated. I think sprinkles of estrogen are a good thing to keep a balance.

Work on these areas and your relationships will most likely improve. Those 2 areas are huge to women, imho. Good luck.

@assx95 The thing is, if you talk to women like objects and not ladies, then don't expect niceties from them. Expect a slap up side the head. You may get lucky and get a "yes" to your "wanna fuck", but don't expect it.

@Lento Lol, according to him she was a low key "friend", he would text once in a while. What he asked was completely inappropriate. He might as well have asked a lady in the grocery aisle. Turning her into a devil is ridiculous, imo.

Perfect! I'm glad karma slapped you upside the head..lol. There is a serious problem with some of the men on this forum regarding how you treat women and what you think about women.

I hate to say, but if you feel it's an actual "addiction" you need to abstain from it. If that is impossible, then doing it in moderation is the next best thing.

Exactly...or the "men are pigs" phrase rings very true to us females. Lol!...Seriously?

Hehe, absolutely, been there done that! Meaning, I would lower the amount of nicotine (dont even remember to what) and would be sucking hard like a maniac?. Tried no nicotine and had zero interest. It was awful, so not an option. The nicotine changes the taste or something. Completely, but I guess it did get me off cigarettes, so in some strange sense I'm grateful. I never experienced any lung issues like they are saying in the news. Actually my lungs improved 100%, but I bought pure stuff made in the US.

I mostly stopped smoking using vaping instead (I still very occasionally smoked), but I vaped all the time I could, and had batteries charging everywhere. I vaped for 5 years. Anyways, I finally got sick and tired of being addicted to nicotine and quit cold turkey. That was 3 years ago. I haven't smoked or vaped since, but have wanted to occasionally....but didn't.

@Lento sorry , didn't mean to be rude at all. Just meant a conversation should take place about limits during sex. If a guy pulled my hair without first asking if I'd be okay with that sort of thing I might not like it. The conversation needs to happen sometime prior to the sex act though to not ruin the mood.

No, that's such hog wash..lol. There is a fine line though...ask Dr Luv (aka @Serotoninluv)

Meaning, in a relationship? If so, yeah, you have to see how you react to the other and vice versa. Sometimes things don't work out and it may hurt, but it's okay. It's all a learning experience and you'll grow from it. Over time you will learn to trust yourself more with others, if that's one of the hang ups. You have to learn how you react to ppl.

I see, well, trust is earned, so I think it's okay to not fully trust someone (male or female), until its earned, but giving ppl the benefit of the doubt is good too. If you are simply not comfortable around women, then like others have said that's an exposure thing. You need to expose yourself often to speaking with women to get more comfortable.

I've read this a couple of times and I really don't get it.
