I’m in a long-distance relationship with someone that is kind to me but doesn’t initiate a lot as it pertains to conversation, affection that is not sexual and communication. We just saw each other a few days ago for my bday and because he works a lot and has a certain job that is inflexible (we’ll get back to that), we did not get to see each other as much and as for as long as was originally planned for. While we were around each other, it was mostly sexual or him on his phone and showing me something on his phone. We laid on the couch together without being sexual once, but he fell asleep within 10 min.

At first, the sexual touch didn’t mind because we didn’t see eachother in months and I was feeling the same. But after we’re done, I want to reconnect and have fun. Not be in proximity to each other without interaction for minutes at a time and only show any interest in the other’s existence when we’re horny. I try to be patient and understanding since he works a lot and has an unfavorable home life rn and is often tired, but I also just think he is not able to show deep love and affection on the ways that I would like to receive it consistently. I returned home Monday and didn’t hear from him at all since then.

He didn’t check in to see if I got home safely or anything but I see him on social media and he liked my pic that I posted. I like him as a person and wish it could work because our interactions in the past were so fulfilling and relieving. But I can’t help but to question our compatibility since I was in a 5 yr relationship with a hypersexual individual that was emotionally draining and stressful as it pertained to sex. I don’t want a repeat of that but want to give a fair chance. Any advice dealing with an allo as a demisexual and overcoming feeling used for sex when your emotional needs aren’t met?

Update: Thanks for the perspectives. I plan to end things with this person ☺️ I know my worth. Just wanted other perspectives to make sure I was being fair.

Client has been leaving scars on my body from scratching and pinching. The also hit. This past week, the clawed me in the face and knocked my glasses off. It went from a bloody scratch to wha looks like a scar..right on the side of my face and forehead.

I requested to be taken off of this client on Friday. I now have to tell his parent and I just told his teacher that I won’t be with him at school. Does anyone know how I could tell them? Also, if anyone else has any advice about making sure that this doesn’t turn into a scar, like products etc. to use, please share. My bday is literally in a few weeks and I would have love to take pics without a bigass scar on my face because of this job 😔

Thank you 🙏🏾

The P.A. that prescribed me 30mg of Cymbalta once a day no longer works at my Dr’s office. Just up and left no warning. That dose never made me feel any different at all. I only feel different if I forget to take it and I get brain zapped. I was given another later (unsure of her credentials) and was told I was on the highest dose and would need to be prescribed something different entirely in addition to what I was taking. I didn’t know how to respond other than “No thank you.” I looked it up after and saw that it goes up to like 120 mg..did this lady lie to me or she just didn’t know what she was talking about? I plan to see someone else regardless but has this ever happened to anyone else? What did you do?
