Hey, Dan. I'm in a torturous relationship situation, and I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm a Magnum subscriber, a poly, 37-year-old, heteroflexible cis guy in the Bay Area. There's a woman I was dating for about three and a half years, and we had a really intense, anxiously attached relationship.
Hey, Dan. I'm in a torturous relationship situation, and I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm a Magnum subscriber, a poly, 37-year-old, heteroflexible cis guy in the Bay Area. There's a woman I was dating for about three and a half years, and we had a really intense, anxiously attached relationship.
For about the last year of that, she was having a really hard time on holidays and relationship events like anniversaries, and she even came to Christmas with my family. She would bawl her eyes out. I thought it was because of the other hard things that were going on for her. But now I know it's because she was falling out of love with me and coming to terms with it.

She pulled away, giving me less attention, affection, and sex. And she said her lack of libido was because of her age. But she's only in her early 40s. But even so, I comforted and supported her and was a good partner. And toward the end, she told me to my face that she thought I was boring and annoying. And she tells me that almost all of our relationships have lasted two or three years.

And then she gets bored and annoyed and turns them into sometimes lovers. And about a couple months ago... I don't think she could handle breaking up with me, but she relationship-ed me, where she wanted to spend a lot less time talking, seeing each other, and fucking, but we'd stay in touch and do that sometimes.

She says she still has a hard time with it, and I'm thinking, if you don't want to feel bad, then why did you break up with me in the first place? She also reconnected with an old makeout buddy, and they started up a relationship. She's really into him. She said again to my face that he's my replacement.

She says even though the timing of our relationship ending and their starting up is a week apart, it's completely coincidental. So why the whole thing drives me insane is because she tells me she ideally wants to have occasional sex with me. And when we do hang out, she's super lovey and snuggly. We make out like we used to when we were together.

And then after we hang out, she doesn't really talk to me. She said she doesn't know whether to refer to me as her ex or former primary. And then she's fluid bonded with her new boyfriend. He's becoming poly, and she volunteered to not have sex with other people. She told me later that she can't believe she said that, since he told her he didn't want her to change. I'm thinking he owns her vagina.

Is that healthy? The dichotomy sucks. I can't stop thinking about her. I can't stop making up stories, and I'm super confused. I love her, and I want to maintain at least some kind of sexy and romantic relationship, but I don't want to have to feel discarded and jerked around to do it. I talk to her now, and there's no sense of flirtiness or attraction at all. So what do you think I should do?

Hey, Dan. So I'm calling with some weird friend drama. I'm hoping you can help sort out. I have a very close friend. Let's call her Jill. And Jill and I are accompanying a large group on a pretty big trip for two weeks in Japan to go skiing in about two months. And a lot of these people on this trip kind of know each other, but some of them don't know each other. And I'm making new friends.

We've been hanging out you know, in preparation of the trip, having hikes and little get togethers so that we can all become more acquainted before we're in another country. And I guess the other day, my friend Jill hung out with two of the guys from the group who both separately expressed to her some interest in me.
