Hi~~ So at 30, I'm in my first relationship. It's wonderful in most ways - never knew I could love this deeply, and never knew I could be sexual with another person.
I thought I was asexual, but I guess I'm demi. Due to the lack of sexual interest on my part in the beginning, we opened this up on my girlfriend's end. She doesn't date other people - just hooks up with them.
My only issue is that this is never a dynamic I wanted. It doesn't fulfill me in anyway. It's just been making me sad. I know it's insecurity, and I know it speaks poorly of me to be jealous; I am, however, incredibly jealous. Some days its all I think about. Life was already stressful for me right now - my transition isn't going smoothly, and my anxiety/depression gas been insane since before this relationship dynamic started.
I want her to be happy. We have so many big plans for eachother. I want her to be satisfied in life. I'm just hurting. Why do I feel rejected? Why am I being so selfish when I just want to make us work in whatever she realizes that she needs.
How do I get over myself? How can I not be jealous? How do I make myself okay with this?
Thanks~~~

Your abusing yourself by ignoring your own wants and needs. Find a partner that wants to make you happy just as much as you want to make them happy. Figure out how to make sure your needs are being met while meeting theirs. Sometime it takes compromise and work. But you’ve worked yourself into a one sided relationship and it’s not gonna feel good or get better until you start to prioritize yourself a bit more.
