I’m in a similar boat. I have problems putting myself out there in terms of sharing my emotions and making myself vulnerable. I know that a lot of this stems from my childhood trauma which manifests itself in various ways in my work and personal life. I have finally decided to speak to a therapist to to see if it helps. Trying to do something productive for myself because I’m tired of seeing the same issues affect my life repeatedly. Just know that you’re not alone!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)?

It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

I recently started dating this guy. He is really good in bed (well endowed, good stamina, great foreplay, etc). But he doesn’t cum after sex. Our sex routine normally ends at either of us getting tired after a long run but not him cuming. We’ve been together for the last 4-5 days and have done it many times (early phases of a relationship). And he came only once.
