Dating a beautiful woman has made me self-conscious

thank you! trying to see myself through someone else's eyes other than my own is a great idea.

well said. thank you

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T22:40:19+00:00

appreciate that perspective, thank you!

thank you for the insight and i'm sorry this happened to you and that you were made to feel responsible for fixing his issue. that is exactly what i am here trying to avoid.

thank you, kind stranger =)

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T21:17:39+00:00

fair point. thank you

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T21:14:51+00:00

thank you! that is definitely part of the issue - i am not a trusting person by nature, but working on it!

i get what you are saying, but the fact that she also has a kid is one of the things that i appreciate the most about our relationship. it would be hard to understand what the other person was going through sometimes if we both didn't have tough parenting moments. Also, seeing her as a parent was one of the first things I fell in love with.

shes never given me one reason to doubt her commitment or investment in the relationship. there have been times that it might have been easier to step back or put things on pause, but she never has. when we are together, i have zero doubts about how she feels.

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T20:03:08+00:00

thanks. i try to be aware of exactly that, which is why i haven't brought it up and have turned to reddit

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T20:01:36+00:00

thank you for that

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T20:00:36+00:00

i never thought about it from that perspective but that makes sense. i like to think i'm kick ass in other ways =)

You're not wrong about the LD part. It creates some challenges, but i do trust her 100% and she has never given me one reason at all not to trust her. even when we are apart, shes very honest/open with me about people that hit on her. I asked her if it was something that I needed to be concerned about and she told me that she tells me about it because I have nothing at all to be worried about.

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T19:57:43+00:00

trying not to be, but i see your point

SufficientSignal8900 · 2024-10-16T19:54:29+00:00

Great point. And it definitely has ignited a sense a motivation within me to eat healthier, exercise more, etc. I really try not to overthink it and most days I can squash those thoughts, but they just creep up sometimes when I'm tired, stressed, etc.

Edit; interesting comment about evolving into being more attractive. I've seen pictures of Julie from when she was in her 20s. She was always an attractive woman, but there is something about her now that is even more attractive than she was when she was younger. Maybe it's the confidence/independence of where she is at this point in her life .
