      my partner would constantly message other women everytime we argued and fell out.  we have a sexless relationship and any form of intimacy is also not there. no laughter , smiling, kissing, joking anything.

      i have been completely loyal to him for a long time but the other day, i decided to accept a return of words from someone else. i know it may seem risky, but this person is making me feel something again. just having someone to talk to about my day and actually asking me about how i am and feel.  it won’t go anywhere but in feels nice. it feels like the connection i have lost.

      Hi Indenail,

      You deserve to have people in your life who are interested in and care about you. Everyone should have positive connections and intimacy. In a healthy relationship, it would be normal and safe to have close connections with people other than your partner. I’m glad that you get to feel nice and be reminded of yourself. It sounds like you’re aware of any risks so can take steps to make sure that you’re keeping safe.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa
