We call each other every night, and I really value those moments we share. It’s the time when we can connect on a deeper level, beyond just small talk.
I rarely ask her to send nudes, and when I do, it’s never with any expectations. I don’t make it a condition for our relationship or push her to do something she’s uncomfortable with.
But every time I do ask, she gets upset and seems personally offended by it. It’s like she assumes I only care about her body and not her as a person.
That assumption really hurts because I’m in this long-distance relationship for more than just physical attraction. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have chosen to maintain this kind of bond from afar.
What frustrates me is that despite all the ways I show her I love her for who she is, she still seems to think my intentions are only about her appearance. It makes me feel like she’s overlooking everything else we share.
Conclusion
The story concludes with a stark realization about perception and trust in a relationship. Can this couple overcome the unspoken expectations and build a stronger bond, or will this misunderstanding be the beginning of the end? Only time will tell how this delicate situation unfolds.
Here’s how people reacted:
I have an ex who kept pressuring me for nudes. Notice how I said “ex”.
Some creepy old man looking at your girl
Why are you asking for nudes if she doesn’t wanna give em tho? Pornhub is right there bro
Try a little diplomacy. Ask for a selfie and see what you get. She will send you what she is comfortable with. Might get lucky and get what you’re hoping for.
Also, if she tells you she thinks you only like her for her body, then start talking to her about all of the other lovely things you like – intellect, kindness, sense of humor, etc. Caveat – only say it if you mean it. You can also say that you think she is beautiful/that you like the way she looks, but don’t make it explicit about her body. You will find that this will go a long way toward making her feel more secure in your relationship.

Yeah you shouldn’t have asked repeatedly, but like, people’s opinions change. If you asked her once in a blue moon, genuinely every once in a while, that’d be one thing. But if it’s like once a week or even once a month then yeah, too much.
So yeah, don’t if you’re doing it too much, otherwise YTA. But asking your partner every once in a great while a question to see if she’s changed her mind, I don’t think that makes you an asshole.

You weren’t the asshole the first time though. But she has made it pretty clear that she doesn’t want to send them, so why not just stop asking?
