Expensive Sybersue,

I’m a subscriber to your YouTube channel, and I’m actually hoping you may assist me with this concern that I’m having with my girlfriend. Now we have been collectively in a dedicated partnership for one 12 months. Effectively, no less than, I’m dedicated, however she appears confused about what she needs in our partnership.

Trying again, it has been this manner from the beginning. I ought to have achieved one thing about this way back, however I saved hoping issues would change. She tells me she loves me, however her actions communicate in a different way. She’s not very affectionate more often than not after which out of the blue, she actually drags me into the bed room and desires to have passionate intercourse for 3 hours. It’s like I’m dwelling with two totally different ladies!

Once I ask her about this, she says I’m imagining it, and that I’m being insecure about her love for me! I believe anybody on this state of affairs can be a bit of insecure about coping with this cold and hot therapy from their accomplice!

She did have a horrible breakup two years earlier than I met her, and I’m questioning if that has scarred her and left her emotionally unavailable to completely commit. She denies that there are any underlying issues, and she or he says that she is completely pleased with me as her accomplice. I really feel that she isn’t being sincere with me and one thing is happening that stops her from completely committing to me. I’m very disillusioned, and I’m undecided what to do anymore.

What do you suppose? Any recommendation you’ve got about this might be drastically appreciated!

Thanks a lot, Kevin
