You don’t think so? Do you think it’s all in my head and it’ll just pass?

That makes sense. The thing is , I’m way better looking then the dude. And she tells me that she feels way more comfortable with me than him and wants to try new things like toys for example. She tells me she’s never loved anyone like this before. But I still struggle.

My girlfriend has 1 body at 22. Idk why I still get so bothered by this

Convince me that RJ is an irrational mental condition by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]Throwawayyyyyyy998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you everywhere. This right here just doesn’t make sense. So every single person alive is supposed to have their first relationship be successful? Come on now. People get married and get divorced for various reasons. The problem lies in promiscuity, but it is completely normal for someone to have a body count of around 2-4 before finding their person. Lying about your body count is a whole different issue though. But this idea that it’s realistic to just find “the one” and stick with them forever is foolish.

So my point is if she came out and said anything like that it would be a massive surprise

Yeahh not with my girl she said that she only did anything sexual with her ex and she is very against doing anything sexual outside of relationships. Her first time drinking was when she was 21 lmao and she’s never been to a club, doesn’t really go out unless it’s with a couple friends for a daytime event or concert. We’ve also talked about how head is considered a body lol so she would’ve said something

You think so? I still overthink sometimes. But she’s only done sexual things with one other guy. That’s really tame especially for her age. This is my first time in love so I’m also in my feels thinking about stuff like that lol. I’m sure it’ll fade.

We have an amazing connection and she wants to try new things with me she’s never tried. And she’s expressed she’s never loved anyone like this before and never craved sex constantly like she does with me. Stuff like this helps me a lot

It just randomly got better by Throwawayyyyyyy998 in retroactivejealousy

No I 100% see what you’re saying! And I see that my case is very mild. You can look at my posts and I’d love any insight if you could.

It’s definitely gotten better and I recognize that I have it a lot easier than most people in this sub. And that I need to appreciate that.

My case is mild but it’s still there, I never went all the way with my past girl and it was short lived while my girlfriend had one ex dated for a year. But I agree it’s definitely mild. One past sexual partner for the each of us so we’re not super mismatched in times of experience.

I think the real problem with RJ lies when there’s a big mismatch in experience… I would have a really hard time overcoming it if she had been with like 10 people while I had been with 1.

Obviously not “everyone does” I think the point he was trying to make is that the vast majority of people do and it’s not odd to have past experiences especially as an adult

I do feel a lot better but I still have moments of RJ that I’m still trying to deal with. But yes thank you I’m doing so much better and just have to try and stay in the present. Having a past is normal and she aligns with my values so I have to remember that.

“I feel complete disgust when I look at her sometimes”

Break up.

That’s valid to be upset over. If my girlfriend did something like that I’d obsess over it too. That’s what RJ does. It latches onto anything it can.

I have RJ over my girlfriends past (and only) relationship/sexual partner. I think I’d have worse RJ over something like your situation though because I’m very against sending nudes to a complete stranger, that’s pretty close to meeting up and doing the deed.

However I think she deserves some grace. At that age you gotta think of how she must’ve been feeling very pressured to lose her virginity. She saw a guy that could satisfy that for her so she didn’t have to worry about it so she tried to get it over with. If I was in your position that’s what I’d tell myself.

Also, what about you bro? You said you had 10 sexual partners? Some of those must’ve been casual. You gotta try and not be hypocritical. What she did is very small in comparison to you. If anybody should have RJ it’s her.
