So I am madly in love with someone, but in a completely non-sexual, non-romantic way, and it makes no sense to me.   I'm talking butterflies in your stomach, can't put together simple sentences, can't-get-them-out-of-my-mind in love.  Despite these feelings, and the fact that I find this person...

I’m a huge fan of melodic dubstep. Probably not the ambient music you’re referring to, but ever time I see your username, that’s what I think of.  So 3 years ago, I had what you could call a catastrophic equipment failure while rock climbing and fell 55 feet down the side of a cliff. First...

Tentative

I tracked down your post and, at this risk of sounding cliche, it sounds like even at that low point there was still some hope in you that you would pull through it. Plus, it’s just an awesome username that you have own if it’s available ;) I sincerely hope you are in a better place now then...

I’ve just started seeing a counselor after a few years off, and it is the first time I’ve felt a good connection, well, ever. I definitely would encourage you to try again.  I agree, holidays are tough. I’m hoping between this forum and my therapist, they will be easier.  PS. Your username is...

This SO applies to me today. Without being boring about details, a past relationship ended in a bad and unfortunate way. I erased every trace of her from my life, buried the feelings, and never addressed them. Upon trying to revisit in therapy, every dark and painful emotion has come screaming...

Ideal person: kind, empathetic, genuine, not judgemental, easygoing but ambitious, adventurous, sense of humor Ideal relationship: safe, warm, cozy, companionate, reciprocal, full of laughter

I struggle with something similar, I tend to equate sex with acceptance and connection. To me, intimacy (flirting or sex) = connection is an easy and logical argument to make. The thing is, once you get into a truly compassionate, cozy relationship (this is my new favorite relationship...

Hello everyone, Thanks for letting join the group. I’m a 37 year old man, second marriage, and feeling utterly alone in this world. My job as a project manager requires me to build relationships between people, but I can’t for the life of me build my own relationships. I’m an introvert to...

First off, I hurt for you and your situation! I can relate on some level to your pain, though will not claim to have experienced something so heartbreaking. You are better off without this guy, and I trust me when I say you are better off finding out his true colors before marriage (I’ve been...

You’re post really resonated with me. I feel like I am in a similar marriage, with a similar personality, right down to the “not wanting to burden anyone”. Please feel free to burden me anytime! I truly believe you are a special person and deserve to be listened to.
