Is it just me or I started to not find anyone attractive anymore

Those types of "romances" fizzle out as fast as they start though. Which is fine if that's what you want. What you're describing is rarely sustainable nor grounded. It's nervous system shit, and usua…

My (36F) partner (37M) recently got a medical diagnosis and now wants an open relationship. Is it selfish of me to not want to? Or selfish of him to ask for one?

?????? Selfish because you don't want your partner to have sex with other people? Man, the internet has driven people mad. If two people want an open relationship, by all means, that's up to them. …
