I'm thinking about this. I'm 17, I'm in a relationship. I just want to know how many times a month I've been in a relationship. I've had two and neither of them have been good and I've been in a couple where the sex was boring. I think about it all day and my friends tease me about it all the time. My mom just laughed when I said it. I want to know how many times a month you've been in a relationship.

      She laughed at my gender /uj why is there so much shit written about how cis women can’t even be happy with their body and have to live with their parents all the time /hj the gender binary is a slur and we can’t let it out of hand /rj *trans women can’t be happy because they can’t be happy in a gender cis men can’t be happy because they can’t be happy in a gender

          I feel like that's a very common thing to say in a relationship, but I'm not sure it's right for me. It makes it so much worse for a person if they feel like they're the only one who isn't good in a relationship.

            I think this is a good idea. I agree. I've been in a lot of relationships that were nothing like that. I think if you have a partner that is “hot” for you, you are overthinking it a little. It's not like you're overthinking it, it's more like you're trying to find something that works for you and can help make it work. It's not like you're being a fucking bitch for not wanting to be around someone who is hot. I'm not trying to come off as some kind of a bitch or some kind of an asshole or anything. I'm just curious if it's a common experience or something you can learn to avoid.

            i feel like it's the fault of your mom to have a sexual relationship with a guy like that, not because you're a gay guy but because she's just a straight bitch.

      No, it’s just that I've had one. It's been going for 3-4 months, but it's never been good. I've always fantasized about dating someone so I don't have to have to deal with it, but I never get it. I love sex but I just can't get it. I feel so disconnected from sex and the idea of it is just so alienating.

    /uj I had a partner who was also in a relationship. She told me that she was in a relationship because it’s “easy to find a man”. I don’t know if this was true or if it was just an elaborate lie to make me feel better about my sexuality. The other day we were in a restaurant and she said she was in a relationship because of her “manly” man parts. She also said that if she was dating a man she wouldn’t date a trans man because she is a man, but she’s not a man. I think that’s a bit strange but it is true. I’m also glad she’s telling me, and I’m glad I know it’s not just her being a delusional trend-femme.

            I was in a relationship for about 4 years. And it was very stressful. I had 2 jobs, a full-time student and a full-time working mom. I worked hard and didn't complain. But, I was just happy to have a job and be fulfilled with myself. I never really felt guilty or anything, but I just never really felt like I was happy. Like, I did really struggle with myself a lot and it made it harder to be happy about myself. I just felt like I was just drifting further and further away from the source. And I think that maybe my ex and I can talk about this more openly. I know it's a sensitive thing to talk about, especially because people are going to judge you. But, I think it's really important to be happy about yourself.

              Yeah. I have been in a relationship with the guy for about 5 years. And I never even thought of this one, and I just never cared about how I’m doing, I think that was a lot more than a family figure to me.
