Reading Reddit posts about whether it’s okay to ask your (male) partner for reassurance when you’re feeling insecure, either about yourself or the relationship. Generally the advice is “just ask straight out — I’m feeling insecure, can you give me some reassurance that X?” (With X being responsive to the area of insecurity - that you still love me, are still attracted to me, still want to go the distance with me, nothing has changed, etc). The problem with this is what if the reason the insecurity is arising is BECAUSE it is based in honest perceptions about a change? What if their feelings really have fallen off and so they can’t really reassure you when you’re asking for it? Curious if anyone has ever been asked for reassurance and had to let the other person know they’re not into it anymore? Or what you would do in the scenario? submitted by /u/TerribleJournalist95
