What do I do?

I don't think 6-7 years is really that much of a difference. On the other hand, based on what your saying, it sounds like this is more of a physical thing than a love thing. Why not fool around with him?

I would get a different trainer though, for sure.

The sterotypical millenial is annoying as h ell.

As a millennial I really have no opinion on cruise ships, and I would just question whether "millennials think cruise ships are old farts" is a thing. I know of two who enjoy cruises. I would never go on a cruise because I would probably get debilitatingly sea sick.

Please can someone help me with this?

I don't know...but I would think it's going to be hard to find a CD player as specialized as what you are talking about, since CDs aren't where sound media is going.

Maybe an ipod and using some super cool headphones would be better?

My significant other refuses to see a doctor.

@Lano THIS IS ME! I hate going to the doctor and I haven’t been to my therapist in more than a year. I’m also afraid of hearing things I don’t want to if I go. I have insurance now, so there’s no excuse... but it gives me major anxiety thinking about it.

I wish I could help you. I know I have a problem (anxiety) but I don’t know how to make myself get over it. I just made myself go to the dentist so that’s a first step I guess. (No cavities, yay.)

Maybe baby steps? Could you make a doctor’s appointment for yourself and her at the same time? Or you could just go with her? I’d be more open personally if I had some support at my appointment.

I suggested that very thing. I told her i would go to the appointment with her and stick up for her if the doctor was being a jerk to her somehow. I told her the doctor i went to last time struck me as good hoping that would make her more comfortable.

When we talk like half the time she just nods with her eyes like a deer in headlights and she isnt really responding to what i'm saying except to say she knows i'm right.

I don't want to nag her about it since it seems to stress her out when i do but it is something that causes me stress. Maybe i'm too uptight about these things.

My significant other refuses to see a doctor.

Its not that she's opposed to mainstream medicine or check ups...according to her its more like she's afraid of the doctor finding something wrong or being mean to her. She has had a bad experience with a doctor in the past that was apparently very unprofessional with her and she doesn't like having her body looked at by a stranger.

Can you part with a little bit of funds? Try the app, Doctor on Demand. It was created by Dr. Phillip McGraw and his son. It will put her face to face with a vetted and hand picked doctor that is Board Certified, without leaving home. I suggest doing it on your laptop or desktop computer at first. She can later move the account to her phone.

If i understand correct, you mean like pouncing a therapy session her? She would not respond well to it for one thing.

No. These are genuine doctors of every specialty. Even Gynacologists. I'm not sure of the cost though. I don't think you can get prescriptions through them. It is more just advice I think. But since the advice is coming from somebody that is a real doctor it might sink in more.

Ahhhh. I guess i could ask her if she wants to try that.

You mentioned that she isn't sick. I would further assume that she isn't "hiding" a problem.
Generally, women are more apt to see a doctor for check-up's than men, but I don't find it surprising that she doesn't want to go.
I think it's a control issue and has very little to do with fears or phobias.
Let's look at it this way -
1. If I feel there is something wrong with me, I'll go to the doctor when it comes up. I know my own body and will call the shot when necessary.
2. I don't want to drive - I can manage it in the direst of moments but prefer when it comes to the general things.
3. I'm willing to go see a psych but prefer not to. Even though the exact reason for why I will (or will not do) certain things is unclear to me, the gut feeling I get has seldom let me down when it comes to particular matters.

Control issues.

We've had discussions about it and she does not disagree with me. I prefer to believe her when she says that it is an anxiety issue and not a preference issue.
