Ok so this issue comes down to your black and white thinking. Also explains your fast attachment. Don’t bring up the commitment anymore. If you don’t want him to feel pressured, then don’t bro g it up anymore. Just enjoy your time together. Also, you already know he’s bad about texting. Is he better if you call?

You have been willing to accommodate to her constantly changing her mind only to be ditched like that.

Let emphasize, she does not want to spend her birthday with you, even though you have been willing to do whatever she wanted on it. I may be a petty man, but sometimes you should be petty. I think you should be upset.

>What should I do, I'm definitely not going to drive separate from her to meet her for her birthday and roll over like I feel like I have been for most other fights.

She does not respect, because you act like you do not mind being disrespected. That is how it works, if you do not respect yourself other people will not respect you either. I think you should break up.

PTSD presents in a variety of ways. He needs to see a professional to get evaluated and receive help.

I have CPTSD but through years of therapy, it’s pretty well managed. I certainly pulled back from certain people when I was in the thick of it but mostly I just had to be aware of triggers to minimize my anxiety over some things that are totally “normal” to other people.

Just talk to her about her insecurities and reassure her. Tell her that her request is too far, but you are willing to set boundaries so she will feel better.

Boundaries for her comfort are your choice and are not forced.

She can't stop you from having a female dance partner because that may not be your choice. But

You can tell her you will inform any woman you dance with that you are in a committed relationship.

Tell her that you will make the choice not to interact with women from the class outside the class.

You can also see if their are classes that are men only.

You can see if she is willing to be there because it's something you want to do, but she does not have to partake in the class.

Present options to her and tell her that your hobby isn't her choice but that you are willing to try and make things more comfortable for her.

If she is unwilling to work with you, her insecurities should be discussed with a therapist because they are interfering with her and her partners life.

Edit: This is all a moot point if she enjoys herself anyway.

This is pretty much new territory. We tried once very early on but I'd honestly never touched myself in that particular way so I was struggling. I wanted to but we'd only been dating 2 weeks at the point. I still had butterflies in my stomach knowing my friend was now my lover. But no we've not tried to since then.

To be honest, he's not embarrassed to masturbate in front of me, I don't think. It's just the game has to change so he's unsure he wants to you know? I'll bring this idea up when I'm feeling better though.
