Found out my SO hooked up with 2 people in one night at a bar a month before we agreed to be exclusive. I don’t really have a right to be mad but I admit am a little grossed out by this knowledge. Fishes: how would you feel about this?

You do. Ask her how would she feel if she were in your shoes. That’s why I only date monogamously. This whole exclusive thing is new to me.

I’m not going to be dating and kissing someone who’s also dating and kissing someone else, the people who do, power to you. But there isn’t anything genuine in dating multiple people at the same time

Before you were exclusive…so why mad?

Is it the quantity that bothers you?

Hooked up in a bar = kissing?

It was before you were exclusive, no big deal at all. Seems like you are just insecure.

I would leave them. “Insecure” is just what people use to describe those who have standards

This happened with one of my exes and I. I learned of it about 3 months into the relationship. Things were going really well, but this did hurt my feelings. He looked upset, seeing that I was upset, and we talked about it. He was sorry, and I said he didn’t actually do anything wrong, but it was hitting me emotionally.

Anyway we were together for 4 years and broke up for other reasons. One of my great loves.

I think people get very silly about cutting the cord over stuff like this. Few relationships run “perfect”.

I hear you

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.

I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in.

He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?
