I didn't even have my first kiss until 16 but depending on what you consider to be a relationship I definitely had several by the time I was 19 too. It's not really that large of a number when it comes to teen relationships
Listen, his version of love and loyalty is so fucked up that he shouldn't even be using those words. I have been with my wife for 25 years and never cheated. There are numerous examples of this in my own extended family, I am not unusual. I cherish and love my wife, and would never, EVER cheat on her. In the distant past, when I was a younger man still swimming in testosterone, I had opportunities to cheat where my wife would never have known. And I didn't, because I'm a grown man that loves his wife. It wasn't fear of blowing up my marriage that stopped me, I'm just not wired to cheat. Like many, many other men.
You know in your heart that such men exist, and that your Ex wasn't one of them. It is tragic that your boy (he's no man) has tried to convince you that such men don't exist, and that you should cut your losses to be with someone who will tell you he loves you while openly pursuing sexual relationships with other women. Don't believe it. Sure, there are guys like that in the world (as you clearly know since you dated one) but when he says ALL men are like that he is lying to you. He is manipulating you.
You did the right thing to extricate yourself from this relationship. There is no future for you with that guy, unless you want to be cheated on and feel devalued by your life partner… and then be told that the real problem is your attitude. Wanting a relationship with a loyal man who won't cheat on you and wants a future with you isn't some high bar standard. It's a minimum. Don't accept less.
He knows I hate being ignored and that’s what he does, he hasn’t talked to me since Thursday morning and it’s Saturday morning now. He also knows I get a little insecure about his ig followers going up because I think he’s following girls (there’s a past of that during fights/break ups) and I think he’s blocking me to make it seem like he’s doing all this stuff but I have no idea
Maybe a reframing can provide some perspective. For what it’s worth, vaginas are biologically designed to get “looser” during sex. It’s a sign of arousal and it allows her to have sex with you without being in pain. It means she’s turned on and ready to go. You’re of course allowed to do whatever you want, but you should know that being with someone who is “tight” down there likely just means she isn’t warmed up enough for PIV sex.
As I mentioned in another reply, I've tried to do research and find ways to deal/help. I've had private talks with her mom about her medication, possible changes, changing the dosage or incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, and as far as her mother is concerned, it went in one ear and out the other if you ask me.
I'm just at a point where when she wakes up and texts me, my eyes roll to the furthest reaches of my skull because I know the next message is going to be either “I feel like shit” or “I don't feel good” immediately after opening her eyes and grabbing her vape. I cannot continue to pitch things and be a broken record, I am aware of that, it's sparked enough arguments that I just stopped suggesting things altogether, but I feel like that's kinda why I am where I am now. How do I help someone that isn't taking a lick of my advice? She had blood drawn a few weeks ago and is waiting to hear about her results from her doctor, and she says that's her way of starting to turn herself around, but that's the only thing that's happened. No changes at home.
He doesn’t have feelings for you let him go. It will hurt you more if you keep trying and it doesn’t take it on not everybody feels the same way about everybody.
I'm going to have to disagree with the reddit hive mind here. You can't just assume he was a creeper when he has a business doing this. This is his job. Talk to your wife and ask if he did anything that made her feel uncomfortable. Ask if he acted professionally. Ask if he made any inappropriate comments. If he did, you'll need to have a talk with the friend. If she says he was professional and didn't make her feel uncomfortable, then the only reason you're upset is because someone else saw your wife hot. In which case, that's something you need to work out yourselves.
I don't care, a lot of women wouldn't and I think her hint is one of two things.
She found it, is rational and assukes it's yours and is letting you know she doesn't care by leaving it out.
She found it, is assuming it's not yours and leaves it out to let you know she knows you have it and wants and exploration without being accusatory.
Either way, she's level-headed for not immediately jumping down the road of cheating. Just tell her and move past it. She probably borrowed it or doesn't care and hell, maybe she has tips on a better shade/brand for you to use.
Sure Jan
That would be it for me.

When people put in fake mustaches, you don’t recognize them either, huh?

So ignore realistic questions, and go to wishing and wanting.
If you keep that mindset up. You are in for a difficult time dating.
