Struggling to have sex
Relationship Stress / by erikah116762
Last post

...See more I’ve been really struggling to have sex with my partner for months now and it’s starting to really affect our relationship. My boyfriend feels unwanted. I can’t seem to get in the mood and I’m too in my head and overthinking to have sex with him. It’s only been the past few months and it really stresses me out and makes me anxious knowing I’m not satisfying my partner. He says it’s okay but I can tell it’s bothering him. I was sexually assaulted a few years back by an ex partner and I’m worried it’s unresolved trauma coming back. Or it could simply be my birth control. I just want to be able to be intimate with my partner. What do I do?

Anxiety with money

...See more I work two jobs and I love my first job because it pays well but it’s very mentally draining so I’ve just signed a part time contract at another job that pays less but is good for my mental health. I now work 50/50 between both jobs and I work 6 days a week with both jobs being closed on sundays. I am having doubts about working at my second job because it pays less, even tho it’s a well needed mental health break as I was getting burnt out working every day at my first job. But I was making more money working at my first job every day. My partner has just asked me to take a trip with him as his grandma is unwell and I haven’t had a chance to meet her yet. She has just come out of the hospital and it is very important to him. Of course I said yes but I’ve just found out I need to replace parts in my car, which is going to cost me $1000. I can’t afford either of these things anymore and I don’t know what to do.

Different ways of thinking in a relationship

...See more I have anxiety, depression and ptsd while my boyfriend has Asperger’s (he never ever talks about this). I’m struggling to handle things he says and does. He says very insensitive things and if I ask him to not say that he’ll reluctantly agree not too and then proceed to do it again at a later time. It feels like he never takes on board what I say. He also struggles to understand my mental problems and is proud of himself for allegedly having none. It’s so exhausting pretending he doesn’t have Asperger’s and dealing with all his Asperger’s traits. I don’t know how to accept the way he is and he doesn’t know how to accept my mental illness. advice?

...See more I love my boyfriend so much. We’ve started a life together yet lately I have all these thoughts telling me to sabotage it. I find myself getting so angry about the smallest thing and we’ve started fighting over stupid things because I get so worked up. How do I stop trying to sabotage the best relationship I’ve ever had? I find myself constantly comparing our relationship to other couples around us. My partner is struggling to deal with my anxiety and depression blow ups
