    I hate that I ever believed in it. I am still married 33yrs and counting but because she cheated 25years ago I still feel like less of a man, and I now admire men with more than one woman because they never have to rely on one woman's opinion of them or emotional support, must be nice if one woman looks down on you when you have two more awaiting your attention. 🤔

    Typical. Men have to bend over backwards, become world class mind readers and ensure safety & stability 24/7/365. Not a syllable about women’s responsibilities.

    I am leading a life of quiet desperation and planning my exit strategy. If I wanted a roommate I would have gotten one. We are great friends.Menopause ruined our sexual relationship. In no way, do I hold her accountable or responsible. This is part of a woman’s life. I have been extremely sensitive about this situation and I am never angry or upset about it. I found a great product from a company called Parlor Games which will make things much easier for her. It has been her unwillingness to use the product daily and at all that disappoints me. The last time I bought this up, she said, it’s my body and I manage it! She has countless issues and personally, I don’t think she’s interested anymore. We have had a pretty good marriage and relationship but I think this ship 🚢 has sailed. I’m at the end of my rope.

    the first thing a man want is body to body. the second is a acountable reliable wife. the third is a supportive wife. the fourth is verbal companion that can share anything between only him and her and that she dont slander it out with her frends. byond that he can serve many things that will make a woman happy. the man want a woman the reciprocate on all terms.

    men just try to filter out unfavorable mates by only give information that is actually testing the woman into see if she blows un early on. a man dont want a unstable wife or a entited wife or a arrogant wife. he will try to spoof the woman so that he can figure out if she is undesireable or a potentially good marrage material.

    I think you missed the point. Men want to be wanted. There is no fixing that. Your video is great to improve the relationship but relationship has nothing to do with intimacy. Or marriage. Those are all separate components. Yes they are intertwined but nothing fixes lack of basic caring or desire.

    *Very few scenarios call for keeping them in your life. The commitment is with you (who they betrayed & hurt). There are no excuses for it, there is only owning up to it with 100% accountability. Then they get to lose you as a result, they need to know they lost someone irreplaceable...forever* *One more thing: Then after recovering with professional help, learn the strength over time to forgive them & never bring them back*

    @matt-g-recovers 4 місяці тому

    This is not so simple in my case. At first I was like, 'See im not codependent afterall.' I knew in my heart that being made feel my needs were my own only and that I was somehow broken for having them, that if someone hurt my feelings that it wasn't completely my fault for being hurt...but I am in a relationship with a recovering addict as well i am in recovery. I have spent a long time working on myself but my partner not so much, and so I don't rightly know if I am being codependent because there have been times that my needs were not met in a very extreme way, I needed support during the anniversary of my mother's death and during my sister's passing and one occasion was told I should be left alone with my emotions, and another occasion made feel guilty for being upset by things. currently things are going well, but I can feel it coming again, it goes in an almost predictable cycle now. So I guess if I keep buying into the codependent thing and not advocating for my needs, it actually means I am codependent. Well at least I know now what to do.

    As well as yourself - another well known lady (doctor) says pretty much the same thing. I think that more emphasis should be given on exactly why men of all ages (I'm 75) look at pornography. The vast majority of men who watch porn are single men with no women in their lives. I look at it every day - and yes I am depressed - depressed because I haven't got one of the lovely ladies on Chaturbate next to me in bed ! Why don't you do a film about the serious epidemic of loneliness in the United States - and around the world ?

    Men stop trying to fix this. The limerence stages of a relationship last from 6 months to 3 years. After that you will be lucky to get it once a month bc of ovulation. This has been well documented for over 50 years; it's human biology.

    I'm not in a long-distance relationship with anyone if they live several states away that's a no for me. I said no so many times several times to the person whoever that is no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no don't know how many times I have to tell them no I don't want that forced on me I don't want none of that forced on me at all if it's long distance like that, if the person lived one state away from me that's not a problem if the person lived in my state that shouldn't be a problem at all that wouldn't be considered long distance if we're in the same state.

    @keithlamb5398 5 місяців тому

    What do you do when your sexual goals are opposite? I want it all the time and she wants it zero. I want our marriage to be full of passion and sexual fulfillment - she wants lifelong committed friendship. In other words, she isn't looking for a sex partner. I think she should have told me this before I said "I DO" and committed exclusive connection to her for life. She claims she didn't know until our honeymoon.

    • @ElimEx1
      @ElimEx1 2 місяці тому

      You have your answer in your question... Even if she were willing to try, she will never want you. That's not what her goals are. So if you want to "save the marriage" but still meet both your needs, you need to open up the marriage and get a partner for yourself.

  • @MG20024

    How about parents respect and protect their childrens privacy by not sharing any photos, videos and data of their kids!? Children can't give full informed consent. If a 12 year old child "consented" to wanting to have sex with a 22 year old is that okay!?

  • @MG20024
    @MG20024 5 місяців тому

    There's absolutely no need to share any photos of our kids online ever! Only close family and friends should be allowed to see but no naked or photos in nappies etc. Also if you have family who live far away/in another country why not just video call instead? I wouldn't be posting any photos of videos of my kids online, even with their "consent" as they can't give full informed consent because they don't understand the implications of digital footprint, AI generated images, identity theft or future employees being able to see old images etc.

  • @steph9302
    @steph9302 6 місяців тому

    I think empathy is very important but showing authentic remorse is part of it. I can validate their feelings with words and explain how my actions may have made them feel but if I don’t seem genuinely remorseful then my apology is not authentic. I am at the tail end of conflict with my boyfriend and I feel terrible. I’m scared and anxious and I just hope he forgives me and we move forward. He has seen me cry several times while apologizing. I recently asked him to hold me and tell me everything is ok when he is ready as a way to help me repair after everything. I’m hoping I get that very soon.

    Alot of crap science and excuses is all I heard here. Women cheat because they want "fresh" attention and they are foolishly, never satisfied, they also always think they can do better. They do this with no regard for their mans feelings or how it may turn out. Some men do the same but its usually women.

    The man being cheated on is much more damaging, the reason I say this is because the man loses the kids, and the house leaving him al9ne and broke. It should be that whomever breaks up the family unit should forfeit primary custody of the children. Men's rights are a serious problem. Men get demonized and it is not right. We should all share equal rights with things in place that protects the innocent faithful person regardless of gender.
