Hey everyone! I don't post on here super often, but I've been laid up for a week now and I'm going a little crazy. Total cabin fever.

I used to see forums like this on the internet back home, and I thought it might be kind of fun here too, so I thought I'd give it a try, because reading those forums was always a lot of fun.

So, Crowd-Sourced Relationship Advice!

I turned on anonymous posting on here, so you can make a fake username and submit a description of a problem that you're having in your relationships, either romantic or at work or whatever, and other anonymous people can give you advice!

Or you can stay logged in on your real account. Up to you!

[good advice so far, she has to admit. her response comes after a while, because communicating like this and putting in a modicum of work to cover her tracks is a frankly absurd amount of effort for her. high tech dictation isn't perfect.]

We share a bed most nights. Or just stay up and talk on the couch. Hold each other, maybe watch something. Fall asleep that way.
Less nightmares. And we sleep easier. It's calm. Nice. We were less [shit, what's the word. physical isn't right.] intimate. Before. Less affectionate. Less free time together. Close, but not as... intense?

Something's changed. I've had crushes. I think? And people have been interested in me. Before this. But this doesn't feel like that. And the way she looks at me isn't like that, either. If I'm reading her right. Seems like more? But not sure. Might just be coping. For both of us.

I don't know if I think that coping is a bad thing, especially if she's as into it as you make it seem.

I honestly think the best thing you can do is decide if you want things to stay at this level, go back to how they were before, or if you want to discuss taking the next step with her and making it official.
