Hemiak Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 3 hours ago, ExHaseo said: I've dated a lot, and I mean a LOT, and I can safely say that you've made one of the biggest mistakes you can make when starting a relationship, talked way too much about your ex, way too fast. NEVER, I mean, NEVER, go into great detail about a past relationship. For some reason this made me think of Seriously though, you just need to be yourself and let her know she is special to you. Maybe come up with an activity or place that belongs to the two of you as a couple. This really isn't your issue to work through though unfortunately. Just be the best boyfriend you can and hope that she eventually feels comfortable and starts enjoying what you have instead of what you've had.

RedPage17 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Never talk about exes ever, especially if prompted. And as far as going forward, if she brings it up again just tell her, "I'm with you now. Don't stress it." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr_Mayus Posted July 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2017 She sounds very insecure and jealous. You need to decide if you can live with that. Chances are she will not change without some major therapy and that is another choice you will have to make. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepeaguy83 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) If you feel this new relationship is causing you hassle, I would honestly cut your ties and stick to your hobbies. You're young and you don't need drama, mate. But what people said: you shouldn't mention your past relationships, one nighters or whatevs if you don't want her to feel insecure. That's ancient history. Edited July 22, 2017 by thepeaguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If you change in some way the way you act towards her now, it will be like being manipulated for her actions, even if that is not her real intention. There is no way that two relationships will be the same, neither should any of you expect to, your ex is your ex for a reason, starting a new relationship with a new mindset on how it should develop, is the best you can do. Of course, this is all my opinion and it's worth nothing if you don't agree =P Also, big mistake talking so much about you ex I've never understood why people want to know about their couple's past partners, makes everything weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tora Chan Posted July 24, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Update: This weekend, I made a homemade birthday cake from scratch; in the pre-dating stage, she mentioned she had a birthday a few days before we met, and since she was away at a conference, she didn't do anything special for her birthday. So I decided to make one for her. (I tried to insert a picture of it here, but it won't show up in the post for some reason...) I never made a cake before, so she felt pretty special. She also apologized for asking me about my ex and comparing the past to the present. Thanks everyone for your advice and help Edited July 24, 2017 by Tora Chan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even explaining what their deal tasted like? And she's perfectly fine with you talking about how much better another girl you dated kissed than her? Or maybe that other girls you were with were tighter, more skilled, or more willing to try certain things than she is? How about if how her ex used to take her on romantic evenings, and exactly what they'd do together? Even if it was far more extravagant and romantic than anything you could do for her? Or how about the other way around, if you used to take your exes on extravagant getaways, while never taking your current girlfriend on one? Sounds like a lot of conflict and resentment waiting to happen. I mean, if that's the kind of relationship you have, then good for you guys, but that's not the norm by any means. Also, unless you're polyamorous, or aren't that attached, it's completely logical to not want to think about your partner with other people. Of course, there are exceptions, but it's definitely normal. Especially when starting a relationship, if the other person is constantly talking about their ex, it's very likely and easy to think they're still in love with them. Otherwise, why would they talk about them so much? They're obviously thinking about them all the time, if that's what they're talking about. And if they're over them, then why think about them so much? There's just a lot of issues and bad feelings that can be easily avoided by simply not talking about your past relationships in detail like that. And really, there isn't anything to really be gained by talking about them. You each have your experiences, you've each learned from them. That doesn't mean you have to talk about them. If you the person your with is fine with it, and you're fine with it, that's an obvious exception, but like I've said, that is not the norm. People differ, but when it comes to monogamous relationships, most people don't want to think about their partner with another person. If you're fine with that, then that's fine, but that likely means you're either polyamorous, or you're an exception to this. Which is fine, but like I've said, that is not the norm. Don't worry, he's had "a lot of experience in dating". I wouldn't ask a community of "trophy hunters" for dating advice. The cumulative experience is probably nil or close to it. Also, the people saying "leave her because she's insecure/immature" obviously don't understand how relationships work.

lpgcavazos Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I think you shouldn't have said that you were nice or sweet with your ex-gf, ex-date or whoever. That was too much information, and since she is the insecure type, you really made her feel less special. My advice for the future is: never say how you treated someone, or how you are or etc, I think those aspects can be easy to see, facts do much more than words, but words are sometimes easier to remember than facts, so be careful with that. Don't try to impress her or anyone by saying how amazing you are, show how amazing you are, and that's it. If she comes up with that subject again, you should say something like "there's a reason why my ex's are my ex's; today I'm with you and that's what matters. Past can't be erased, but future can be built in the present, and you are my present" or I dunno. Wish you the best of luck btw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmann Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 As a guy that has been in a relationship 3 years odd, and several relationships previously, I can tell you OP, that the most important thing in a relationship is something that nobody has mentioned. Be a friend to your partner as well, not necessarily a best friend, or you will quickly grate on one another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/20/2017 at 7:14 AM, Tora Chan said: Well she directly asked me about it... I guess I'll decline to mention my ex if she asks again in the future. Agree with Macabro. If she directly asks about your ex, you can answer her question but find a way to route the conversation elsewhere. For example, "<answer> but that's all in the past. I'm not interested in her, I'm interested in you..." Something like that. Make her feel that special feeling she is looking for while also proving your ex is meaningless to you now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
