I know there was a post 4 months ago, but now that we are in summer, I wanted to check in and see which are active! I have no Instagram so getting info to meet ups/clubs would be awesome. Looking to start showing up weekly starting today! Thank you in advance.
I’m an early 30s gay man who runs my own subscription-based platform and I want to be able to provide upgraded content with tasteful and suggestive photographs that are NSFW. Serious inquiry as I’m looking to grow my platform this year. Thank you!
My ex (31m) and I (37m) have been in each other’s lives for about 6 years now. We were together for 3 years before splitting and have remained separate but in contact for the last 3.
There were two instances where my ex put his hands on me after a night of heavy drinking. Of course I can only describe it as someone physically abusing me and wanting to attack me.
Over the last 3 years, my ex has devoted himself entirely to being better and becoming sober. We’ve remained in contact with one another and talk about a lot of stuff still - we are great friends and always were from the beginning.
I know there was a lot of trauma in his upbringing and childhood and he has actually done a great job of working through all of that in therapy - both in intensive inpatient and continuing talk therapy. He hasn’t fallen back on anything else - no religion, doesn’t victimize his upbringing - he truly has immersed himself in the therapeutic process and has completely and utterly owned his mistakes and continues to.
I describe it all in that way to express my dilemma. We care about each other deeply. And I understand I wasn’t perfect in the relationship either, but we both understand that doesn’t excuse his behavior.
But his apology has come with real accountability and real change.
That’s a really vague overview of where we are now. We both live in separate states, but we remain close and talk almost daily still. I haven’t committed to therapy myself but we have great conversations together about his therapeutic journey and what he’s gone through and I know his intentions are pure.
But this experience has impacted me greatly. Idk if I’m being unfair, I don’t really know what’s my block to accept the change and try again. I’d appreciate any genuine insight and wisdom to help break from this stalemate him and I are that it feels like.
Thank you.
