Throwaway for obvious reasons
Me (22f) and my boyfriend (24m) of 4 years, recently got into playing BG3 co-op! And so far it's been a lot of fun! We've been super invested into the story, and I've had a lot of fun discovering the plot and figuring out the gameplay mechanics with him! However, the trouble started as soon as we ran into Shadowheart in the crash region. At first it was just 'oh she's cute' which I didn't really mind, I mean obviously she is cute, but lately it has gotten worse and worse. He absolutely refuses to swap her out for another party member, and everytime she says ANYTHING he can't seem to help himself but remark with something along the lines of 'awwwwh' or 'she's so cute.'
I really didn't mind it at first, but lately it's start to become annoying. When we were messing around with the characters underwear (sorry!) he discovered Shadowheart had a 'bush' (which i do NOT have) and he couldn't help but comment on how 'well designed' it was. Normally I'd never feel like I'd be in competition with a videogame character, but there was an extended moment of awkward silence where my boyfriend didn't talk while... 'examining' this part of her.. it was humiliating! Even after I tried to suggest that we change our party members, all he could say was 'we need the bless babe.'
Fast forward a week later to now, he drove over to my apartment to spend the weekend together as we usually do, except this time was different. It seemed like he just wasn't interested, his words were shallow and short and he came off as being bored the entire time. When we finally turned it in for the night I was excited to show him something Shadowheart couldnt do with him, and he was completely uninterested! He just turned over in the bed and said he was tired, and fell asleep 30 seconds later.
Now that he's back home, I notice he's offline on steam (ON HIS DAY OFF) and he tells me that he's sick. But after checking his steam page several times, I can see that his hours on BG3 are STILL INCREASING. He's hiding his account in offline mode to spend time with shadowheart without me.
What do I do? Do I change class to cleric so he can't use her? Do I dye my hair black like her? I've never been in competition with a videogame character before.

Everytime I enter REM state during sleep I experience nightmares and immediately wake up. So despite sleeping 8 hours with excellent deep sleep which allows me to recover physically, mentally I feel like worse waking up than going to sleep.
Only cope thus far has been dude weeding it up before going to sleep cause I usually don't dream when I do that. Any other suggestions how I keep myself from bullying me in my head every night?

So this stinky whore who I used to know in primary school dms me on Insta out of nowhere. We go on 2 dates, I of course pay for everything like a cuck. Meanwhile all she does is complain about some other r-slur that fricked her over in the previous months and how shit guys on bumble are. Of course I should have seen the red flags but like a delusional cuck I believed that maybe WAGMI. I was wrong of course.
Suddenly after the second date she no longer has time to hang. She's busy with this and that and oh also she is going on a 2 week to Paris. Fricking whore. Moral of the story, no matter how hot I look on Instagram it takes the average b-word 2 dates to sniff my autism out. Fricking hate women so much it physically hurts more than ab crunches.

"Why do you care about s*x and relationships???
Simply sleeping in the same bed as your gf/wife will improve your sleep. Simply being touched by someone will release hormones that will relax you, make you feel happy and positive and thus also help you to sleep
"Results: As compared to sleeping individually, co-sleeping was associated with about 10% more REM sleep, less fragmented REM sleep (p = 0.008), longer undisturbed REM fragments (p = 0.0006), and more limb movements (p = 0.007)."
This is interesting but from what I've read they don't really have a clear explanation as for why this is the case
I have a hypothesis which i will back up with studies:
Hypothesis: Bed-sharing couples sleep better because of human touch. Human touch produces serotonin which is a precursor of melatonin, the hormone of sleep
Let's back up the fact that simple human touch will increase your serotonin level
Cortisol decreases and serotonin and dopamine increase following massage therapy
In studies in which cortisol was assayed either in saliva or in urine, significant decreases were noted in cortisol levels (averaging decreases 31%). In studies in which the activating neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine) were assayed in urine, an average increase of 28% was noted for serotonin and an average increase of 31% was noted for dopamine.
The decrease in cortisol and increase in dopamine are already interesting but it is the serotonin increase that interests me the most
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is associated with relaxation, positivity, a sense of feeling good etc. It's the happiness drug of our body.
That alone sounds like it would help you sleep right? Well it gets better: serotonin is a precursor of melatonin, the hormone of sleep (see pic below)
Melatonin regulates our circadian rythm (the body's internal clock in layman's terms) and it is the key to good sleep. Melatonin is often used to treat sleep disorders or to promote a better sleep. I've put 2 studies on melatonin in the spoiler if you're interested
IF YOU ARE LONELY YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON GOOD SLEEP ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE

BONUS BLACKPILL: Neurodivergent people are known to have disturbances in the serotonin-melatonin pathway. They're sleep impaired on a hormonal level
If you're neurodivergent and have trouble sleeping it could be because of your autism. Roughly 50-80% of neurodivergent children suffer from sleep disorders

I will admit, I am a 5ft 4" tall male, and I have already considered myself an abomination who will never be a sexhaver.
I wanna be ironic and jovial about it but I'm not, I'm fricking 5ft 4 tall. People ask me for ID to buy alcohol. I'm 24! I tried making a Tinder, with shots of my body without the legs to hopefully avoid women noticing as I know its unattractive. But I uninstalled after one women actually matched with me, only to compare my height with a fire extinguishers visible in the background of one of my photos and make fun of my height.
I don't want to be misogynistic but honestly it feels so unfair at times. I didn't choose to be born this height, Platform shoes can only take me so far without being obvious.
Anyone else shortcel? and can help me with any advice. People say just be confident, but whenever I try people just say how they could beat me in a fight.
Also I am NOT ASIAN FWI.

Dudes usually like me as company as I seem to be at least somewhat entertaining even if I can be pretty awkward and stutter a lot.
Women don't laugh at my jokes period. I never had a conversation with a foid where I didn't have to actively try to keep the conversation alive. Everytime I stopped trying hard to keep the convos going they just disengaged.
Talking to a foid as a sub 8 male is like talking to your fricking dog.
!incels women will never try to actively engage you in a convoy or show interest in you. Foids will never gaze into your eyes and play with their hair while you talk to them about your plans for today.
