    Okay, everyone. I need your input. Have you run into the issue of NTs needing "validation"? I'll tell you why I ask. My ex (still friend) and I broke up and went back and forth for 10 months before realizing we needed to cut it out. It's emotionally exhausting. I told him, and he agreed, that...

    What do you wish you were told about relationships and sex when you were young?
