I started dating my husband when I was 18. He’s the only person I’ve ever slept with and, while I love that because it’s special, sometimes I wonder what else is out there. I don’t regret marrying him at all but I wish I met him in my 20s instead.

This is part of the reason why I always recommend a hoe phase during the 20’s. Try and monitor how frequently these thoughts come into your head. Maybe then you can assess your next steps. Good luck OP!

LOL are you still in your 20s cause I see a lot of thirsty guys post on this bowl

Same boat, met my bf at 18 and we’re going on 12 years now. I was single for a year and a half and it sucked. A lot of tinder dates and black outs and random sex. I would always end up wanting to talk to him most at the end of the night. Maybe I wasn’t fully recovered from the break up to fully experience single life, but I did realize the grass is greenest where you water it. When I was single all I wanted was a person to love and love me. I learned I already had that!

Is he a good man that treats you well, respect you, loves you and understands you more than you understand yourself sometimes? Then you hit the jackpot. While rando sex and a hoe phase might sound fun and appealing, it’s mostly a lot of it is shitty guys who treat you like crap, aren’t that great in bed and make you feel worthless the morning after. It’s not fun. It’s just put on a pedestal on TV because sex sells. Sure, there are some adventures, trysts and memorable hotties, but remember that finally what most people want is what you already have. Many people would kill to find their soulmate early on without all the years of crap making us jaded. Be grateful you are one of the lucky ones. Since you can’t change your situation, change your mindset OP.
The grass isn’t greener on the other side. The grass is green where you water it.

I’m in the same situation but haven’t had such thoughts. Are you and your husband open with each other about your sexual needs and desires? I’ve found that you can spice things up with each other just fine if you communicate appropriately!

OP - I am in same situation. I also met my SO when I was 18 and I also have the same thoughts. I am a very sexual person with a high sex drive and he’s not so I wonder sometimes...

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
