  2 0 Totally true. That pretty much pin-points my worry. I am not sure if awesomeness in all other areas is enough to outweigh the lack of emotional highs. On one hand, I feel like I can maybe get that somewhere else, but on the other, it seems like that's one of the core things that is necessary to maintain a long-term partnership. I think I am being biased because my past relationships have been so high on both emotional highs and emotional bullshit that they seem to go together for me. It was based on passionate infatuation where nothing else really worked. I'm not sure if that passion comes without the bullshit. Have you ever experienced that? JSOK! commented 6 months ago

  0 0 True, I'm keeping that in mind. I'm not sure if it's something I need. Sometimes it feels like something is missing but sometimes it just feels so great to not have any emotional bullshit in my relationship. Thanks for your comment. JSOK! commented 6 months ago

  0 0 He doesn't need therapy. He's perfectly happy and well-rounded and totally successful. He's just totally non-emotional. I am really emotional. People with other kinds of differences can work well in a relationship and I was just wondering if this is one of those things that people don't have to line up on. JSOK! commented 6 months ago

  0 0 Hadn't already decided it wasn't going to work out. I felt uncomfortable with the fact that he even wanted to change and I was trying to get some advice if anyone had been in a relationship in which there was no emotional connection hoping for a success story. It seems like you're trying to be hurtful and not helpful. JSOK! commented 6 months ago

  An apron for a large person?

  0 0 Also if you find a fabulous apron that has short strings you could have a quick DIY project and make them longer yourself. Or better yet, you could probably find a pattern to sew an apron yourself and just make it a little bigger. The handmade gift would be more meaningful and would also be sure to fit! Good luck finding a good one :) JSOK! answered in Other - Style & Beauty 6 months ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

• Comment on virginia mason's answer…

  0 0 Thank you so much for your insight! I do genuinely love him and really like him, he does show he cares in other ways, and the sex is great though not the most "intimate." The emotional drama had been such a huge part of my past relationships I sort of felt like that was an important part of a relationship because there's a level of connection that comes from all that. I got into this relationship because I was tired of that and I'm so happy with our friendship. And thanks for the comment about getting that sort of thing from somewhere else. I just started grad school and don't have very many close friends right now. I think that is a big reason the lack of connection with him seemed like such a big deal. I definitely want to give our relationship the chance it deserves and I really can't thank you enough for helping me realize that. JSOK! commented 6 months ago

  Was my prof being unprofessional or just nice?

  0 0 I'm in grad school, and there are frequent meetings at pubs/restaurants with my professors and visiting professors. However, I'll be teaching myself next year and have been advised many times that I should avoid any kind of meeting with students outside of a school setting and to be polite but not too friendly with students if I happen to see them while I'm out. These experiences make me think it is more inappropriate to meet profs out of school when you are an undergrad. JSOK! answered in Whatever 7 months ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »
