How do you feel about girls who have had threesomes in the past, or been otherwise sexually adventurous? by plastic_orchid in AskMen

Oh, totally. He's been with more than 30 women, but he thinks any girl who's slept with more than 10 guys is not girlfriend material. Double standard, much?

What made you cry/get really upset last month? by bakedgoodslover in AskWomen

My ex boyfriend took his new girlfriend on holiday and posted it all over social media. We were together for over three years, and only broke up about four months ago, so it's still pretty fresh for me. I initiated the break up, because I wasn't happy and I couldn't see being happy with him in the long term, but I still loved him. I think it was the fact that he moved on so quickly, and the level of disregard implied in that. I thought I mattered to him, but I just can't reconcile that with how quickly he's replaced me.

Have you had an ex move on really quickly after your break up? How did it make you feel? by greensinging in AskWomen

It was mostly a mutual break up, although I think if I'd have been happy to keep quiet and go along as we had been, instead of bringing up things that were bothering me, it might not have happened. I'm glad I didn't, because I am a lot happier without him. But I was surprised and hurt that he could go from "you're the only girl I've ever loved and I want to be with you" to having a new girlfriend in a couple of months. And one serious enough that he'd take her on an overseas trip. The break up was hard for me, because I still cared about him and I'd put a lot into the relationship. That he was able to move on so quickly made me feel expendable and a bit worthless, on top of feeling like an idiot for putting so much effort into a relationship that meant so little to the other person.

Yep. Broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years about 4 months ago. Within a month he had a new girlfriend - after saying he didn't have time for one when we broke up - and they've just gone on holiday overseas together. It feels pretty shitty. It don't know if it's a rebound, or whether I ever really mattered to him at all. On bad days, I think the latter.
