Honestly though?

I just want to be touched without having to ask for it.

I'm drowning in this feeling of loneliness and despair and it's just not right.

Lawd I know this feeling and will never be in that situation again. Sending love and lots of touches.

@SW-User I'm at the point in life where it is very much needed and it's less there than it has ever been in this relationship.

Makes me feel unattractive and I already have that issue with myself sometimes so bleh. 😂

@thepeculiarpanda I think as we get older intimacy becomes a healing act to share. If you’ve been deprived awhile, the last thing you need is more rejection.

Hun you are very attractive and a lot of fun and have a sweet heart, you deserve to have your needs met.

I was very mismatched in my last ltr. He wanted me to pine over him yet I constantly felt rejected. He had his issues and I couldn’t enable him AND give more than I was capable AND feel nothing back. It’s absurd.

You can find someone, trust me. I’d put ma hands all over you! 😝

@SW-User I think part of the issue is that she's essentially an only child (one brother who is 15 years older) and had parents who were both working growing up, so she's really self-sufficient. I end up getting ignored a lot and especially now that she's on TikTok, it's all she pays attention to when she gets home. Either that or watching TV. Hard for me since I've spent so much time getting back in shape and spend so much time isolated during the day.

That sounds absolutely brutal. 😑 Emotions are such a stupid thing to have to navigate sometimes!! There really ought to be an instruction manual kicking around. 🤔

Very much likewise. :3
