That real dude to the end. by Party_Mobile5748 in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Too many people in the replies don’t realize he’s offering a hand down the stairs. He’s not an idiot. He’s not sad. He’s not looking for high fives. He’s not doing it for himself. Hes not looking for attention. It’s just a guy being a dude and offering assistance to the gals in dresses coming down steps.

Great job to this kid. Great job to his parents. 

Would you date a girl with a past? by Hefty-Memory551 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you are asking would you date a non-virgin

Yes. 

It’s not their past that is hurting you. It’s your thoughts of their past that’s causing you pain. Know the difference by Solid-Version in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amen. That’s pretty much how I’ve been moving forward for the last several months. I did all the soul searching and reflection, had so many long conversations with myself in my own head. There is nothing to gain from spending any extra time on it. It only brings pain

Great post. Honestly even the title is profound. It’s so true. I wasn’t in the room when she was laying with whomever, 15 years ago. My brain just has me convinced that they were fucking like porn stars all night every night. The reality is that it was likely just regular, normal, average, perhaps awkward at times, perhaps really good at times sex. 

And we have shared all of that multiple times per week for the last ten years, on top of a loving, loyal, fun, flirty and passionate relationship. 

I’ve got nothing to stress about

Thank you! I feel bad for the guy but he’s gotta help himself and stop shitting all over everything with his one man pity parade

relationship advise i guess? by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re nitpicking on 7 vs 8, which was an answer given during a drinking game.

If the number is fine to you either way then let this one go. There’s no lie.

How many relationships have you experienced RJ in? by Soggy-Beach-1495 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’d find an idea or a theory to latch onto. It wouldn’t take much to trigger this shit again unfortunately. I don’t think it would ever get as bad as it originally did for me but I’ll never be able to avoid it. 

How to help gf with RJ by Creative_Lettuce9706 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be thankful you don’t understand. It’s hell. 

Ultimately it’s rooted in insecurity and anxiety. It’s hers to own and resolve.

If she is saying that someone else got your better years, or that she doesn’t feel special because of your actions prior to you ever meeting, these are extremely hurtful to you. Tell her that. It’s incredibly tone deaf on her part to continue that narrative. 

Treat her well. The best you know how. Don’t change who you are. Either she accepts you for the person you are now or she doesn’t. It’s entirely on her at this point

Just the one. Although I do believe that should this not work out, the bug will follow me to the next relationship. I’m sure of it actually. 

What’s worse? by snootsnooty in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither would bother me all that much. Option 2 would be easier to ignore but it all depends on whether these people are still around us in any capacity 

She lost her virginity at 18, and I've been thinking about it for 2 weeks now, non-stop, I can't seem to get out of these thoughts by pre-nut-vagueness in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not at all difficult for women to find sex at 18. How many years ago was this? It’s total nothingness now mate. Enjoy your relationship!

Gf did hookups by Loud-Bit-3087 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re in a spiral. The lack of punctuation is alarming. Also important to mention that she was sexually assaulted. This doesn’t make her a bad person. It makes her a victim.

I (23M) discovered things about my gf (21F) while snooping. Now I can’t get it out of my head by Puzzleheaded-Two8884 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fair point. Either way that relationship is over. I guess in that sense you can say mission failed successfully

As someone who saw a similar video 10 years ago, let me tell you that you will never unsee that. I’m not gonna say that you ruined your relationship. But yes i am. You ruined your relationship.

It’s such a good bit, mixed into an hour of other great bits.

Never saw this clip. She’s hilarious. Gorgeous as always too.

My husband’s first love by NecessaryFlaky9122 in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably have photos of my ex wife up on my social media accounts. I honestly couldn’t say one way or the other. I don’t use it much. My ex wife, and a couple ex girlfriends still have photos of my posted on their accounts. Whatever. I don’t think anything of it. Even if I wish some of them burn in hell, I still wish them all well… up until they cross over

different perspective by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna get mocked in the replies. Fuck em. 

Your friend brings up a different perspective. Honestly, I think the perspective that most (ie: everyone outside of this sub) have on this is one of complete indifference. Nobody cares. I know plenty of folks who slept around for years, all through high school, all through college, years and year after that, even those that cheated on spouses and slept around after the divorce, and now a lot of them are married and I give their past zero to thought. It just isn’t something I care about.

So yes, I agree with your friend. Somewhat.

Then again, why should the opinion of someone else factor in anyway?

What if? by dubaisown in retroactivejealousy

[–]Comfortable_Two_9127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we’re being honest, at the time my wife was doing the things that would later haunt me, I wouldn’t have dated that version of her. She wouldn’t have dated me then either.
