I haven't dated for years and want to try again. How do I prepare for the storm?
I haven't been on a date in eight years and want to start next year. How can I prepare for the storm? I want to love and care for someone. I long for a supportive, funny life partner. Should I say that to a man? And is that too much in a dating profile? I vowed off relationships until I could permanently fix my anxiety. An expat temporarily settled in Singapore I'm still making friends and feel nervous around unfamiliar people. I am embarrassed that I'm a broke writer and student.
My husband won’t make any effort to please me in bed
Illustration: Alex Mellon/The Guardian My husband and I have been together for six years. He is 60, 20 years older than me. We had a baby last year and went through a really difficult time in our relationship. Things are better after some couples therapy, but we are both still unhappy with our sex life. I take a while to orgasm, and he gets very impatient and essentially just gives up (he always orgasms first, and quickly). I also have longstanding health issues that make sex painful.
My partner’s mother dominates him and it makes me feel helpless
Illustration: Guardian Design I'm in my 30s and have been living in Spain for a decade. My partner is Spanish and we have lived together for a year. The bond he has with his mum sometimes makes me feel angry, jealous and helpless. I'm aware that, culturally, Spanish people often have closer bonds with their families and I try to accept that. He is an only child and his father left his family when he was a teenager and started another.
