Dear How to Do It,
I’m in a long-lasting relationship that’s been pleasing mentally, psychologically, and sexually. We check out and attempt brand-new things, I feel taken care of and liked. I have no grievances.
The issue is this brand-new pastime I’ve established that I have not shared and can’t appear to stop. I have actually been sexting with individuals on an online platform. Whenever I go to erase my account and end all interaction, I can’t appear to make myself do it. I’m not even doing anything I can’t request in my present relationship, it simply makes me feel wanted in such a way I have not felt in so long.
Why am I doing this? How do I make myself stop?
