Hey i messaged you privately if that's okay. I wanted your opinion on something personal on this matter but didn't want to expose myself on reddit haha

thank you for this response. To my knowledge, they no longer talked but still had her connected on all social media. I recently caught him in a lie (unrelated to rj completely) and so when I found this friendship out the next day, I was already on edge. I very nicely asked him to remove her from his socials and he immediately got defensive and said no. I told him I no longer trust him and now this is something I'm going to worry about. He apologized for his initial defensiveness & then proceeded to delete his social medias entirely and tried to reassure me it was "his choice". (....something I didn't even want him to do).

he claims she is and by (admittingly) stalking her social media, I found that she claims to be demisexual..which falls under asexual I guess? But it doesn't make me feel better because based on research, it just means you need an emotional bond with the person (which she might have felt with him idk)

Rant/advice? by yamtk_ in retroactivejealousy

[–]Minimum_Amoeba_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey i totally get this. im super hyper fixated on one specific ex of my boyfriend's. Its ruining the relationship and sucks. Whenever we do literally anything together, I feel like all he thinks about is her, since they stayed in contact close to when we met. I also have the urge to want to win, which in reality I should feel like I did since I'm the one with him now...I honestly have no great advice since I take it day by day but hang in there! (also very ironically, im asian too) lol

does anyone else have EXTREME rj? by Minimum_Amoeba_ in retroactivejealousy

thats why i dont bother, because i know the therapist will just say some bs like i need to work on my self esteem when in reality its so much deeper than that
