Passivity

Needy


Start of a question about Sex

I've been married for 16 yrs now. And I've only been intimate with my husband.

For the past 3 months my husband has been unable to keep an erection, he has spoken with his doctor and it's been determined that this may be medically related. His doctor prescribed Viagra, but my husband complains about the side effects and refuses to take them or anything else.

I'm worried that 34 yrs old is too young to go without being satisfied. Thank you from NEEDY

I think there is more to this story than meets the eye. If it is true that your husband's doctor suspects that a medical condition (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, stress or depression) is causing his erectile dysfunction, then why isn't the doctor treating that condition?

She wants friendship, but I want to give her love


Start of a question about Dating

I was in a very brief and fast-paced relationship with a wonderful girl who is a senior in high school. At first things were great and we got so close. Then out of the blue she tells me she doesn't want to be in a relationship and that she'd rather that we be friends.


Start of Dr Love's Answer

First of all, I have to correct one thing you said about having to give your girlfriend unconditional love. Adult love relationships actually aren't and shouldn't be about unconditional love. The only relationship on earth that is supposed to be unconditional is the relationship between a parent and a young child.

He Puts You Out by Not Putting Out


Start of a question about Sex

Dr. Love,

My boyfriend and I are obviously in a rut. I'm going to stop pressuring him about marriage, money, and our future. But I can't even get sex out of him. I am tired of asking him.

I'm a very attractive girl and I've never had to ask. When I think he wants to he makes it to be funny. Like so baby you want my dick? I told him it wasn't funny to joke on a sore subject.

I don't know what to do I am so stressed out from my two jobs you think he would see I need it and give to me. Please help I'm so over being hurt by guys.


Start of Dr Love's Answer

You're in more than a rut with your boyfriend. Not only won't he put out sexually, he refuses to give to you on any other level either. You're dating a passive aggressive.

I'd love to get married again when the right person comes along. I have fear about men in case they will treat me again the same as before. I am intelligent and good looking from within.


Start of Dr Love's Answer

I understand that you are afraid to be hurt again. First read my answer entitled 'Wanting a Better Home Life. ' If you are afraid to fall into another relationship with an abusive man, there's a good chance that your unconscious mind knows that you, too, are caught in a repetition compulsion.
