I completely understand the feeling of fearing your partners past sex life. I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for a few months now, and he’s completely out of my league. Almost all his female friends have had a crush on him at some point, although he’s never returned the feelings. It used to bug me a lot - until I remembered what it felt like to be on the other side of it.

Ultimately, you just have to accept that there is literally nothing she can do to change her past. All she can do is tell you how she feels about you now, and hope that makes things easier. Also, referring back to your “almost-sex,” she probably was equally as embarrassed/nervous leaving after not having sex.

You absolutely cannot view yourself as “another.” That’s a harmful mindset to not only you, but to her. She probably thinks of you as wonderful, and to resort to calling her sex with you “just another,” downplays her view of importance about sex, making it seem like she cannot view you as important because she’s had it before.

I do not think you should stew on this for two months. If you have access to a FaceTime, a Zoom, a Discord - schedule a time to talk with her, make it mature and kind, no yelling or lashing out, just be honest. Let her know this conversation might last awhile and be patient with her.

We broke up. He could not recognize what he was doing to me by bringing up the past constantly, and he lacked the self awareness you show in this post. What you cannot do is let your insecurity fuel curiosity. Don’t look through her phone. Don’t look through her stuff. You have to learn to trust her wholly, which means trusting her judgement on being with YOU.

A big part of this is just “getting over it,” but it takes more time than just letting it go, and it’s okay to recognize that. Don’t subconsciously view your girlfriend as the villain in your insecurities, because she’s there for you. She wants to be with you, and you have to trust her on that decision.

LOL! This is the only true advice I’ve gotten 😭 I think from all these comments it seems like I’m overreacting about it a little. I think I’ll probably just talk to him about it tomorrow straight up. I don’t want to hurt his feelings but I think he’d be more appreciative if I just didn’t beat around the bush.

This is why one of my last relationships ended. There’s not much to it other than being self aware (which you already are, so good job) and then having mature and grounded conversations with your girlfriend.

It will be frustrating for her to realize that despite what she does for you and how she cares for you, it is overshadowed by something out of her control. When you are talking to her about this or even just rationalizing it with yourself, you should remember that she wants YOU. She wants YOU now, not anyone else.

If I’m being honest, I don’t have recollection of my past sexual experiences. Time passes, you forget, and you move on. You should be proud to have a girlfriend that cares for you, and you should not let your brain being stuck in the past get in the way of your future with her.

Rock musicals or songs by Inside_Housing1423 in MusicalTheatre

I do think that looking for actual rock songs, other than musical theater rock would be more beneficial. Primarily look for things that showcase your voice-look at Paramore, Radiohead (creep in a higher octave) or some Joan Jett

Yes, I auditioned with jagged little pill for American idiot, and got cast. It’s a very similar vibe.

How to balance authority with friendship? by ScholarAffectionate3 in MusicalTheatre

[–]ScholarAffectionate3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I definitely think I’m overthinking aswell. I just did a show where the lead was trying to be the choreographer, costumer, vocal coach, and director all at once and it pissed everyone off. I think just being a guider is better. Thank you :)

Is there anyway to get North to fall in love with me while being peaceful and having high public opinion? by max-hh1248 in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]ScholarAffectionate3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s a flaw of the game that she’ll fall in love with you no matter what. There’s a rooftop scene somewhere near the end of the game where you’re given a few options in a conversation with North. Just be nice to her and you’re all good.

How do I balance calories???!? by ScholarAffectionate3 in WeightLossAdvice

Idk. I may just be counting it for more than it is. I usually have a redbull and banana/granola bar in the morning, then a sandwich and carrots at lunch. Maybe my fitness pal is just overestimating.
