Strange thoughts :/

Discussion in 'Rebooting in a Relationship' started by Deleted Account, Oct 4, 2018.

  1. Well on my way in my self improvement journey now and happy to say I will be posting my 30 day update in a few days time. having some really strange thoughts pop into my head over the past few days and I'm curious if anybody has experienced something similar?

    I'm in a long term committed relationship with a very physically attractive girl, however our sex life is almost none existent at this point, In the past couple of years she would use sex as a weapon and pretty much class it as payment for being able to control me.

    As of the past week for some reason something has switched in my head, despite restricting myself on this journey and her being the only way I can achieve O I no longer desire it from her.

    I put this down to "flat-lining" however my sex drive is still there but for other girls..

    A good example of this would be a colleague I'm currently working with, although not as physically attractive as my partner (by anybody's standards) I find myself anomored with her :eek: I get excited to see her, enjoy talking to her and even find myself craving her physically. I am now having dreams of a sexual nature with her.

    I'm not looking to do anything rash, and almost as quickly as I advance with her I purposefully push her back away as for the first time In my life I don't trust myself (never cheated in any relationship).

    I guess the question is am I just experiencing lust? I'm not happy with my current partner but we have been together for years, despite not being happy I do feel a bond with her as we've been together for so long and she is by all means extremely physically attractive, why do I have no absolutely desire at all to be romantic with her but I do with others?

    All responses are appreciated :)

    I am assuming you are just starting your journey through PMO. You should talk to her and let her know how you feel and maybe somehow try to spice up your sexual relationship. I wish you luck on your relationship.

    These are the chains she uses.
    This is how you got free from the chains. The only reason you obey is because she restricts you with the chains, she dominates you and drags you wherever she wants. Without the chains, you can do whatever you want and walk free.
    This is the point. The reason why we share our lives with a person is because we search for happiness. From my POV, if there is not happiness, there is no reason for a relationship to exist. Finally, if a relationship makes someone unhappy, it does exactly the opposite it should do...
     
  4. 26 days into my final reboot (this time it's permanent) previously changed my life with NoFap years ago where I kicked the habit for the best part of 2 years until going back to PMO around a year into this relationship out of maybe boredom and a false feeling that I had achieved everything I had set out to get from it. I missed the powers, the confidence, the life I had without the habit and now I know it's for life. in terms of talks, letting her know my feelings, spicing things up etc, all tried and failed :(
     
  5. It's an unbelievable feeling, being able to see clearly now what is happening with clarity, just need to figure out what to do about it now :/ am I being shallow I feel like I'm being forced to do things i don't want to do just by investing into her at this point, is it really possible to just go off someone just like that? we've been through a lot together and I do have strong feelings for her that would take a lot of getting over. And in terms of a relationship making someone happy I have never been able to see that, I can see how it's beneficial to a woman but not to a man other than those who would otherwise struggle to find intimacy else where, maybe I'm just not built for a relationship at all.

    If being her slave is what you want, then go ahead. If not, behave as a free man and watch her reactions to her inobedient slave...

    "....relationship with a very physically attractive girl, however our sex life is almost none existent at this point, In the past couple of years she would use sex as a weapon and pretty much class it as payment for being able to control me."

    This is no minor thing and my instinct says there is deep distrust and resentment which you might not wish to address with her?

    It sounds like there are trust issues that need work and the sexual desire or lack thereof might be more to do with these dynamics of manipulation. Relationships are complex and the porn issues can often mask other things too...she might also have been using sex manipulatively due to her perception of any issues connected (consciously or not) to the porn use.
     
  8. After you've quit feeding your addiction for a little while, it begins to get desparate. It will do anything to get you back in addictive behavior. It will trick you...making you feel less attracted to your SO, making others seem more exciting/attractive, sometimes even trying to convince you that you don't love or need your SO like before. It's all an attempt to get you to fall back into the addiction because it's starving.

    Don't fall for it. Stay strong and committed to recovery. It will pass eventually, and your relationship will be better. Your life will be better.
