| Cheating is doing something involving others that your partner doesn't approve of behind their back. It's really that simple. Umm, unless your partner is a controlling psycho who doesn't "approve" of any activity that might loosen his/her control, right? Sorry, I just think this definition is far t... |

| Hey OP - I think you're doing a lovely thing for your fiancee. I recommend reading the book, "Ultrametabolism" by Mark Hyman, MD. I think it may have some good info for your fiancee. I also hope you look into finding a support group, or at least make time to do things you enjoy or spend time with pe... |

| You might want to search the forum, but the links below might be helpful. (Note that the WP link does contain the book by Maxine Aston - yuck). However, the first link below can give you some insight into the kind of books to avoid on the topic. Also, the CPAP machine really can change your life - h... |

| Please do yourself a favor and throw that book out. Rudy Simone has aggregated a lot of anecdotal evidence from individuals, in the complete and total absence of the scientific method. About your sleep apnea, please look into getting a CPAP machine. It will virtually eliminate the effects of the sle... |

And you're already such a big fan of psilocybin. If this article had come out a month or so ago, you could have gotten rid of your anxiety and kept me. Life sure is funny, isn't it? |

| I agree with all of the points about gun safety made by Peter L. However, I'd like to deviate just a bit from his advice: IMO, there is no reconciliation possible that ensures your safety. I believe that if you choose to stay in this relationship, this man is going to kill you. Although you've been ... |

| Not in the way you'd expect, either. I have managed over the years to learn to make sure she's not in the line of fire so to speak when I have one. I have even learned to be vocal with her during these meltdowns, and at her insistence, tell her how I think I'm feeling. The problem isn't that I trea... |

| But look, if this lady is actually physically incapable of achieving an orgasm, then you have to accept that. She's not complaining about the sex, because she's getting something out of it: the physical and emotional intimacy; the happiness she feels in giving you satisfaction; another way to expre... |

| I'm wondering who diagnosed her with this physiological nerve problem that prevents her from orgasming? Was it a gynecologist? Is that diagnosis based on tests? Did she sustain some kind of injury? My first thought is to encourage your gf to have this diagnosis confirmed by a specialist. I've never ... |

| I have noticed from post here by NTs & some Aspies that there is a tendency for NTs to take charge when they are in relationships with Aspies. Some of that has to do with Aspies being awkward, less experienced, more introverted ect. It's NOT that Aspies can not pull there fair share of weight i... |
