Expensive Sybersue,
I’m a subscriber to your YouTube channel, and I’m actually hoping you’ll be able to assist me with this situation that I’m having with my girlfriend. We’ve got been collectively in a dedicated partnership for one yr. Nicely, no less than, I’m dedicated, however she appears confused about what she desires in our partnership.
Trying again, it has been this fashion from the beginning. I ought to have executed one thing about this way back, however I saved hoping issues would change. She tells me she loves me, however her actions converse in another way. She’s not very affectionate more often than not after which out of the blue, she actually drags me into the bed room and needs to have passionate intercourse for 3 hours. It’s like I’m residing with two totally different ladies!
Once I ask her about this, she says I’m imagining it, and that I’m being insecure about her love for me! I believe anybody on this state of affairs could be somewhat insecure about coping with this cold and warm remedy from their associate!
She did have a horrible breakup two years earlier than I met her, and I’m questioning if that has scarred her and left her emotionally unavailable to completely commit. She denies that there are any underlying issues, and she or he says that she is completely proud of me as her associate. I really feel that she isn’t being trustworthy with me and one thing is happening that stops her from completely committing to me. I’m very disillusioned, and I’m unsure what to do anymore.
What do you assume? Any recommendation you’ve got about this might be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks a lot, Kevin
