How are you guys navigating this theme while being in a relationship/ dating or starting a relationship? I have had these thoughts even before I started dating my current boyfriend and it almost feels like I started dating him just to prove that I wasn’t gay, but I feel that I have sexual arousal towards women and I am numb to men now. Anyone else??
I want to add that I’m in a long distance relationship
Girl I’m in the same boat. Long distance as well
@norx Girl I’m exhausteddddddd and I feel like it’s almost popped up in my brain worse because I’m not seeing my bf everyday or often…. What are your experiences?
@Mamba24 I’m trying to navigate that as well. It’s really really really hard. I’ve tried dating people of same sex to see if I was really into it and it just left me confused and uncomfortable lol. Now knowing about SOOCD, I think that was all compulsions. So now with that as my past, I feel guilty about not sharing it with my boyfriend. Anywho - how do I deal with it? Ugh lol I go on this app and it helps calm me down. But now I’m not sure if that’s turning into a compulsion lol. I can’t just sit with the thoughts yet. I try to not judge my thoughts and that works a lot of the time. pretty much, I’m still trying to figure it out.
@norx My brain is telling me that I need to explore and experiment with women sexually but I’m like convinced I would like it lol. I know feel like all of this is just constantly in the back of my mind and I have a lot of guilt like I’m lying to my boyfriend. Before we officially started dating I actually shared to him that I may be attracted to women, but I haven’t really said anything since but it’s been a constant thing I think about. I’m not sure how to share all of this with him.
