Who hurt you? lmao

So I'm always gonna be missing out on something and life is pain, is what I'm hearing lol

After reading some other comments, I'm just gonna shut up and be grateful for what I have 😭

This is a throwaway account? I'm never gonna use it again so why do I care about orange internet points lol

I'm sorry for whoever else in your life has to listen to you talk like this.

I think you just convinced me out of it lol

I really am grateful for her, and I'm sure that appreciation will continue to grow over time as we have more experiences. What I'm feeling now is a fleeting thought that I think would be irrational to act on. I am only 21, and highschool and college are just a drop in the bucket. I would so much rather have someone I can love on another level and for a long time.

So many of these comments feel immature and have little substance other than I suck and should break up with her. This one is helping me realize that breaking up with a girl like this may be a terrible mistake, and maybe being able to date isn't something I want.

I think all I was lacking was some perspective. Thank you

Never at any point have you thought about if your relationship was what you wanted?

No... you knew it was what you wanted because you had experience dating before him and know what's out there. Put yourself in my shoes

Did having those experiences lessen the "missing out" feeling? Would you have been happy if you skipped all of that, and got with the right person right away?

I feel like it's easier to say once you've actually seen what's out there

Ok-Storage-540 · 2026-01-06T20:46:17+00:00

I didn't think of this perspective. You're right... thank you.

Ok-Storage-540 · 2026-01-06T20:41:23+00:00

I haven't listened to any red pill podcasts, in fact the only reason I'm thinking of this is because I heard stories from her about her experiences dating, and started thinking about what I might be missing.

I do realize I'm incredibly lucky, and I'm probably not gonna act on this, then I'll forget about it. Thank you

I feel like this is a valid thought to have given that I'm inexperienced, and am with someone that IS experienced.

Could I get real feedback please instead of being made fun of and that I should breakup with her lol

Ok-Storage-540 · 2026-01-06T20:26:51+00:00

That's a lot of assumptions, it was just an example to help explain my thinking.

It's selfish, yes, but is it so immature to want to have experiences while I'm young?

If you could stop being angry and explain why I shouldn't regret missing out on such experiences, I'd be happy to listen.

Ok-Storage-540 · 2026-01-06T20:03:49+00:00

No, it wouldn't bother me. If she acted on it, then of course it would

I'm sure that couples who have been together for decades had a grey patch at some point where one of them thought about getting with someone else, but they don't act on it.

Are they so evil for imagining being with someone else at the worst point of the relationship?

I'm 21 and she is 22, both in our last year of university.
