Do you guys dip off outside the relationship!
Noooo. I don't believe in cheating. And she's very giving sexually, in fact she initiates it much of the time.
I'm very happy with her, but I've always said you never know when a relationship will end (couples get divorced even after 50 years together). So I always keep some guard up.
But I think 14 years qualifies as being pretty successful. I guess this is why I've always been the guy on the forum who says "Hey, you know, it's okay to be in a relationship". Even a young guy I think can learn something about women from being in a relationship once in a while, instead of just spin plates, spin plates, spin plates all the time. Maybe LTRs are generally more suited for older or more mature people, but I don't see any age restrictions listed here, so I'm going to say my piece like everybody else.
It's true there possible pitfalls to being in an LTR, like letting your friends go, giving up your dreams, or getting complacent and not staying fit. But these are rookie mistakes. It's important to keep your
self respect, and that way those won't be issues. Especially if it isn't your first rodeo. I think people on here demonize relationships too much, like getting into one will automatically turn you into a b!tch boy beta AFC cuckold. And I'm thinking is that really all you're made of? So that's why I sometimes advocate for LTRs here, even though some of the posters don't like it. Just don't get married.
