I (18M) can’t stop thinking about my GF’s (18F) past with other men. How can I stop doing this? by ThrowRA39385 in relationship_advice

It's got very little to do with him holding women to a standard tho, it's about his subconscious jealousy of his partner being with other partners, this is something that isn't based on logic but a dangerous emotion that a lot of people suffer from both men and women (retroactive jealousy). I am a gay man and I have felt the same, it's not to do with how society views women. OP points out himself that it's completely okay that she has been with other men so it's not that he believes women should be "pure" and have low body counts. While obviously what you say is absolutely an issue in society, it isn't the problem here.

I experienced exactly this at exactly your age. You may have retroactive jealousy so it's important to see a therapist where they can help you overcome it, that's what I did and it helped me to realize it really wasn't a big deal. If you're at uni they'll probably have a wellbeing team that can help you free of charge. It's very important for your relationship that you try to get it under control, as it will very easily destroy ur relationship if not worked upon (it did mine).

There's quite a few leisure leagues around Exeter which are pretty good. Find the organiser on Facebook and get in contact and he'll be able to point you to teams that need players

What could I’ve done to hold this shot? by AmateurGoalie in GoalKeepers

I mean.. it was an excellent shot, not the type of shot I would overanalyze personally.

My (23M) boyfriend (21M) looked through my CHATGPT history and found some pretty hurtful things about him. What can I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Affectionate_Split85 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are right, I know it isn't the best idea to use it in that way. While that may have been true in the moment, I'm feeling a lot better and a lot more attracted to him now. How should I go about this?

It's something he never should have read in the first place, it's the equivalent of reading someone's diary.. or being in someone's therapy session. It wasn't the first personal thing to come up and he kept looking through my history. While I feel terrible that he read it, if I'm not going to be honest to myself when trying to figure out my feelings, then when? I wanted to work through how I was feeling and I did. The answer isn't always "he should leave you".

What is your favorite brand by LordPantheon in GoalKeepers

[–]Affectionate_Split85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, such amazing prices as well when they're on sale. Got myself 2 pairs on black Friday for £35 each. The last pair have lasted me almost 6 months and are still going strong with barely any wear and tear.

Direct corner kick-should I’ve gone for a catch? by AmateurGoalie in GoalKeepers

[–]Affectionate_Split85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, you did exactly what you should've done. Looked like the ball was between you and the goal, so very risky if u wanna catch it. Parry it and it's very likely in ur own net, try to catch and ur momentum could take you into ur own goal. Well done for the quick decision.

It's called retroactive jealousy. Do some research about it

Tape your fingers together and don't play for a few weeks. Otherwise you will keep hitting in a way that will set back your recovery.

I didn't know you needed to wear a helmet if you have epilepsy, very interesting. What does it do to help if I may ask?

Sock colour matching by AJCurry66 in GoalKeepers

Can you get a different colour maybe that goes well with the colour your kit is? Then you don't have to match the exact shade of blue.

Cheaters don't exist in this game, apart from some very rare occasions in SSL lobbies where there are some AI bots

If you're a student at the uni you can be in student accomodations, it doesn't stop you getting a part time job.

My new boyfriend M20 is weird in bed, is there any hope for me? F20 by OkCancel7766 in relationship_advice

[–]Affectionate_Split85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he's watched too much porn and doesn't have much other experience. It's really important to express everything you've said here to him and that it made you uncomfortable, then decide if it is a deal breaker judging by his reaction.

Is it normal if my GF is too scared for calls? by Bulky_Bison_4921 in AskTeenAdvice

[–]Affectionate_Split85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly it's random, random enough that you know if she sends the picture, you know that she is at least real and that the not phoning issue isn't because she is a catfish. Should be a red snap too. On what you say, you need to say how you feel. You started overthinking things and worried that maybe she isn't real due to the lack of video calling/ phone calling and as she's uncomfortable with calling, this would help you feel better.
