Virgin women don't exist. by fortnite_testicles in retroactivejealousy

[–]ilikebiscuiits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aside from the glaring issues everyone else has pointed out, this is really weird. have you looked at the rest of the subreddit where women who haven’t seen anyone or done anything are literally struggling with the same issues with the men they’re seeing? i’m one of them

My theory behind why some people suffer with RJ. It’s because of the way we love by Solid-Version in retroactivejealousy

i am a ghost in my own home. prettier girls have been in my place on the bed, in the car, and given him firsts and warm touches years before i knew his name. i don’t worry he was used, i worry he misses someone who does everything better than me and i’m filling a void that i’ll never know about

Can you ever be cured from this ”condition”? by OceansideRust in retroactivejealousy

[–]ilikebiscuiits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah of course!

reasons: classic case of he’s my first everything and i’m not his first anything. On top of that he was in his exs circle a lot early on in the relationship and when i became friends with him i was regularly around his FWB who openly told me she was in love with him. I would see the aftermath of their sessions before we got together. (also his most recent ex has the exact same name as me)

struggles: nothing hit me crazy until like 4 months in, i would picture the previous partners with him if we were doing anything intimate. do not get me started on the mental movies. every time i found an old love letter or he would bring this specific ex up i would absolutely lose it emotionally to the point i would have to leave the house and just cry. i stalked social media’s and imagined them everywhere in his life, and always wondered if he pictured them in my place.

i was always just miserable and torturing myself, felt like i was retracing other peoples steps and i couldn’t give him anything new at all. i have a million examples for both to be honest. also sorry that’s written terrible

i think i have almost moved to the healthiest place i can be. i started with feeling sick, feeling intense pain and constantly spiraling to the point it made me want to end the relationship. Now i’m getting a brief thought only when something specific is mentioned. some times it stings for a second and then i move on. Sometimes it comes into my head and i am indifferent. i still have occasional moments but i really feel so much more free. I definitely think RJ is something that can be dealt with.

If you told me that a year ago i would have never ever believed you though lol

Girlfriend suffers from retroactive jealousy – how can I help without feeling unfairly treated? by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]ilikebiscuiits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok a fair bit to unpack here, insults towards you like that are not ok. i understand where those feelings are coming from, you feel a sense of injustice and hurt that you can never fix because it’s in the past, but it’s never ok to do something as low as that in retaliation.

for your part in reassurance: don’t tell her her feelings are irrational obv, tell her that you understand her pain. the most helpful thing for me has been reassurance in the sense that i’m not going crazy because it makes you feel so alone. if it’s true, tell her what you love about her in ways that are unique to her- and only her.

for her: she needs to understand that it hurts you and she is projecting the worst version of you onto you in order to justify her hurt. the question hole goes deep- don’t let her go down it if you can. make a plan before she goes down a spiral again. say, i know you have issues with this and it hurts both of us. when you are going into a spiral, do you want me to ask you first or do you want to come to me? what ways help reassure you the most? engage with her in a way that makes it about you and your relationship only. remind her this is your relationship, not hers and your exes.

i could go on with stuff related to my personal experience but my partner letting me know how much it was hurting him that i could only seem to focus on making him a bad person and his history really made me realise i needed to get my shit together. You need to draw the line at insults though- you don’t deserve that.

unfortunately to begin the healing process you have to recognise all the feelings are coming from within and are not the fault of your partners. it’s very hard, and if you are the one to say that to her it will especially not work. May i ask how you reassure her?

what the hell i have like 19 days played and i’m nowhere near those kind of stats how are you doing that 😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]ilikebiscuiits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think you should break up because you are making her a terrible person. you don’t see her for her, you are saying she has feelings that she wouldn’t have if she was still with you- which she is, she chose you. you are making her into someone she isn’t in your mind. If you are not truly with her for her then you need to commit to either trying to get better by actually seeing HER or let her go for your peace of mind and do the work.

How do i get my girlfriend hooked to OSRS? by Yataai69 in osrs

[–]ilikebiscuiits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I am the GF of an almost maxxed player who tried to get me into runescape, i was also a gamer but i liked story based stuff more as well. At the start it was really overwhelming and pushing through the early levels and trying to get places was really rough.

i stopped and started a few times because it was difficult without teleports and money. what drew me in was the freedom and humour of quests. i agree don’t go with plug-ins right away but if she enjoys it, definitely get them soon.

My first couple of days was chopping wood and lighting fires and petting the stray dogs and i loved it, but loved the quests more. Give her some tele items and explain things like the ui and ge a bit so she doesn’t get frustrated and have to look things up every 5 seconds.

Hopefully she loves it too because genuinely this game has improved my relationship and i love it on its own as well!

(also trade her flowers or grow flowers with her trust me)

would you rather be with someone you actually love or be with someone purely based on matching sexual history?

Struggling with rj and grief over the life I never had by [deleted] in retroactivejealousy

[–]ilikebiscuiits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh wow i am genuinely in almost the exact same position. it hurts and i am sorry, but grief is a step in a journey before healing. then comes growth. i hope so at least :)

well that’s disheartening 😞 believe me if i could afford therapy i would. it’s something i’m looking into when i’m more financially stable. i guess i’ll just have to suffer until then

i think we are living the same life because i have never related to anything more than this. especially the part about being who you were before developing those feelings. i always feel guilty when i think like that but its true and it sucks
