>>71494715>It's frustrating bc multiple men have told me I make them happier than they ever have been in years so... why don't I just feel better with that?Relationships are about give and take. Being told you make someone happy is nice but it isn't fulfilling. It's emotional junk food. It's also why a lot of women will tell you, "A hundred other guys are telling her she's pretty."
>Why don't I make that a place I can go back to? Why can't I commit?Commitment is scary and takes a lot of physical and mental effort. You can do everything right and still utterly fail. LDR's suck in general and the internet makes it way too easy to just walk on someone because it's not convenient anymore. Plus you're describing D/s relationships as requiring effort which means you're probably not either strictly dominant or submissive and instead need someone who's receptive to your mental state.
>>71495568Sounds like you just need people around you that you can hang with. Sex complicates things.
