Me and my husband have had sex maybe once in the last year. Before that, our intimacy has been slowly dwindling. When/if he tries to initiate, I say no, I’m not in the mood, I’m tired, or just straight out ignore him. I go to bed earlier than him, we barely even cuddle. I rarely initiate.
I’m 34M, she’s 31F. I know ultimately there’s nothing I can do but feeling so absolutely gutted over this one. I went on a substantial amount of dates last year and this was the first girl I really saw a future with.

Humans make mistakes, including me—that doesn’t mean there’s issues to fix, it means I’m a person.

I never set out to be that guy. You know, the one who walks into a room and immediately feels people looking. The one who gets asked for directions on the street way more than anyone else I know—like I have some innate GPS capability wired into my skull. The one people instinctively trust before I’ve even said a word.
1. This is probably a strange answer, but joining the military.
I was able to mature and save up a small nest egg, get access to the Post 9/11 GI bill, and some combat wounds were 100% worth it for the disability check and healthcare lol
That let me go to to college and a great law school with no debt, and led me to where I am today.

Let’s start with something uncomfortable: If your kids are afraid of you, they’re not learning respect—they’re learning survival.
I know, that’s a hard pill to swallow. Maybe you were raised to believe that fear is respect. Maybe your parents’ booming voice or the crack of a belt was the language of authority in your home. You didn’t dare speak up because “that’s just how things were.” And maybe you turned out fine. But here’s the truth no one told you: Fear-based parenting doesn’t create strong kids—it creates anxious adults who are experts at hiding their feelings, needs, and dreams.
