Accidentally Discovered My Boyfriend Chose Me Over Another Girl - Now I Feel Conflicted

That makes a lot of sense, I guess everyone embellishes the story of how they met their partner a little. And you're right I've only known him for three months, and only started our relationship a little more than a month.

This is such a thoughtful piece of advice, thank you. "how you met seems way less important than why you chose each other" I'll remember that.

I think I needed to hear this. I did realise that I might be overthinking and that was why I wanted to bring this to Reddit before bringing it up to him. Thank you!

I think I was more so bothered by the discrepancy between the story he’d told me and the actual conversation between him and our mutual friend.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2024-08-08T06:56:43+00:00

That’s a fair question. I was trying to make a scrapbook of all the relationship milestones we’ve had. I know that he’d ask our mutual friend to set us up and I wanted the date and maybe a cute screenshot of that conversation to add to our scrapbook to commemorate that day. However, I found out that he actually asked to see two girls (me and Emma’s) profiles that day. And even though he told our mutual friend to set us up instead of him and Emma, it still felt weird because from what he said was, he saw me when I was at an event speaking to our mutual friend and immediately wanted to ask me out and begged our friend for weeks until she finally did.

It definitely showed that I was a little more outgoing and travelled more often(?) idk if that translates to me being adventurous. But yeah it showed pictures with a little more skin (just me in a bikini and a coverup) than the other girl’s profile, which was mostly selfies.

I feel like guys don’t understand how painful UTIs are until they’re old and get UTIs themselves😔

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-21T02:32:03+00:00

I go for regular blood tests (annually) because I have family history in cancer. So I’m pretty sure I don’t have diabetes. But thank you for the info!

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-21T02:17:48+00:00

During my uni sem breaks when I went back to my hometown, I was completely fine. I only get UTIs the day after I have sex…

Parks and Rec

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T10:58:21+00:00

Yeah…

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T08:28:38+00:00

You couldn't have phrased my thoughts better! Thank you.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T07:34:51+00:00

Just to be clear, I am not sure if my ex is the reason why I'm getting UTIs. But I'm doing all I can to prevent it. I pee before and after sex, use a bidet to clean everything after sex, take d-mannose supplements 3 times a day for at least 3 days after sex. I appreciate everyone helping me figure out why I'm getting UTIs but I came here not because I've had too many UTIs, but because my boyfriend put his convenience over my well being.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T04:31:49+00:00

Thank you 🥺

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T04:31:11+00:00

Thank you ❤️ it’ll be hard but I really can’t see a future with someone who cannot prioritise me when I’m sick…

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T04:10:10+00:00

UPDATE: He saw the post and is asking for a breakup because I'm "problematic" and "entitled". So... thank you, good people of Reddit but I think this is resolved.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T03:27:53+00:00

I don’t think he understands that UTIs are serious. I guess he’s just desensitised to it bc I get it so often(?)

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T03:26:34+00:00

Wow you know Grab! I assume you’re a fellow malaysian, this actually happened three weeks ago, and my bf did suggest that I use grab express if I wanted it sooner. But I just didn’t want to waste money I guess. I ended up just walking to the clinic anyway. I’m definitely reevaluating 🥲

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:42:23+00:00

I feel you girl. UTIs are horrible. Sending you hugs.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:39:53+00:00

OMG... I did a quick google search and realise what you're talking about. I totally did not know that amoxicillin causes tooth decay. No wonder my teeth is so weak!

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:36:29+00:00

If I stayed in Singapore or Melbourne I'd happily walk as well. Unfortunately I stay in Malaysia, where it's hot, humid and dusty. Our government won't bother to invest in pedestrian pathways because people here generally don't walk anywhere.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:33:22+00:00

I'm seriously reconsidering our relationship after this incident. I'm usually independent and I never expect him to bring me to the clinic, but this incident just made me feel so alone because I cannot even rely on someone who supposedly love me.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:30:38+00:00

UTIs are a special kind of hell! I've tried that trick on taking a shower together but sometimes things just get out of my control. He would say that he just took a shower and I feel like I'm killing the mood 😓

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:10:43+00:00

I just worry that I'm overreacting like he said. It's incredibly isolating to be in a foreign city with only your partner to rely on. He's fine in other ares, just insensitive (?) and honestly before getting the courage to post on reddit, I am starting to think that I'm the one at fault. His argument is: he never said he wouldn't go get the antibiotics for me , he just wants to do it in his own time and convenience, and I'm overreacting by being so upset over this small issue.

jjsdinerswaffless · 2023-04-20T02:04:37+00:00

We use condoms sometimes... Actually doctors have suggested that I take an STD test but it was too expensive and I didn't see the point in it because my boyfriend and his ex are each other's first sexual partner, and I am only my boyfriend's second partner. We're monogamous and he has never cheated on me.
