“Body count” issues
Relationship Stress / by Wisephoenix
Last post
 August 23rd, 2021
...See more My Boyfriend (of almost one year) has recently come to me and said that he does not know if he can come to terms with the number of people I have slept with. It bothers him that he is almost 7 years older than me, yet I’ve been with almost double the number of people he has. He says that our differing views on sex will lead to sexual incompatibility (even though we both enjoy the sex we’re having). Is there anything that we can do to resolve this issue or is our relationship doomed?

Retroactive jealousy
Relationship Stress / by Wisephoenix

...See more My SO has pretty severe retroactive jealousy and cannot seem to stop having vivid thoughts about me and my past sexual relationships. He knows that the thoughts are irrational but he hasn’t been able to stop them. He is not worried about me having any current relations with any of them and the only issue is he cannot stop the images in his head. Whenever he has these thoughts he gets quiet and upset and doesn’t talk to me for hours-days, which makes me feel like he’s taking it out on me. I also have a tendency to become defensive and make things about me when he tells me what’s wrong. I want to be able to support him, but I also feel judged and hurt with the way he talks about my past. Any advice on how to be able to support him? Has anyone else experienced these issues? I can’t fully relate to what he’s experiencing, so I feel unable to help him fully.
