Advice? Especially from guys, if you think you have ideas.


I'm sorry to hear that. I was happy for you when you moved to piecing. To me he is not all in so piecing is not possible. Hopefully here you will find the support and advice you need.

On the forum here there are all kinds of situations and none of them are easy,but I can relate to what you said above. It is very tough to feel lonely and have unmet needs and still being in a R. At times I too feel it would be better (or at least easier) to feel the same and not be with anyone.

Us guys are v partial to being physical. Maybe withdrawing that or limiting it to only when your needs are being met (or trying to be met). I am not for punishments as that create I'll feeling but from what you said, the current situation is not working.

Good luck.
