Our Deepest, Darkest Relationship Fears, NBD

Our current ~unprecedented times~ has given us all a lot of time to really reflect, for better or for worse. Regardless of our relationship status, we've been able to really get to know the exact contours of our insecurities and debilitating deep-seated fears, some of which we will now reveal to you! Woof. You're welcome. Read something relatable? Feel free to share - don't leave us hanging out here!...

You've Reached A+ Content!

Autostraddle cannot survive without reader support. That's why we have our A+ Member program and A+ content like this, as thanks to readers like you who keep Autostraddle here for our whole community. Will you join A+?

A+ members keep this site majority free-to-read, so sometimes we have bonus content for members as thanks! A+ membership starts at just $4/month or $30/year. If you can, will you join? You get access to bonus content like this post, insider information, behind-the-scenes laughs, and the singular satisfaction of knowing you’re helping to pay it forward for other readers and that you're keeping this bastion of queerness on the internet here for everyone.

99% of our readers do not support. That means that less than 1% of our readers are keeping this site running. Will YOU be one of the people who helps to keep this indie queer media site here for everyone?

We don't need one person to do it all, we need many people each doing a part. Every member makes a difference!
