Confessions

Confession of the Day

I, HLM (high libido male) recently had severe depression which was not noticed by my wife. A few months later, and after some changes, I feel a lot better. I made the decision that my marriage was over completely and asked to begin formally separating.

My LLF (low libido female) 34 wife and I had been together 17 years, married for 8, two kids, 3 and 5. We have had a completely dead bedroom for 6 years other than 12 times (yes precisely), to get her pregnant with our second kid.

I had been really struggling with the lack of sex and intimacy for a long time, but given the kids’ arrival and all of the shit that happens around childbirth and pregnancy, I held back from making big decisions for far longer than I was comfortable.

You Cannot Directly Control How Anyone Else Thinks or Feels about You.

Many of us spend an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to shape how others perceive us. We curate our social media profiles, rehearse conversations, and often alter our behavior in the pursuit of approval or acceptance. This pursuit, however, is akin to chasing shadows. People’s thoughts and feelings are filtered through their own experiences, biases, and emotional states. These filters are beyond our control.
