Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I get what you're saying, and I've cooled off. You're right.
This is hard stuff. There's nothing that seems natural about this. It goes against our very nature. However, seeking this understanding of your mate is an act of love. Knowing yourself and your needs, and those of your mate is a super power!
As long as you are both open with each other, and respect each others positions and needs, you are going to not only get through this but come out much stronger together on the other side. This is a small brick that builds a very strong foundation for your relationship with your mate. You've got this, man.
