Retroactive jealousy :(
hii reddit, me 20F and my boyfriend 21M have been together officially for about 4+ months, but we’ve been talking for 8+ months.
A month into us talking, he told me about his past, he has had 2 romantic relationships and then 2 sexual partners after the second relationship ended. At that time, he said he changed and would never go back to his old ways. 8 months later he has been treating me well, but theres the gut wrenching feeling that hits me every on and off. Whenever we’re happy together, it just hits randomly. The fact that he’s had his first everything and im just another girl, while he’s literally my first everything, as i have not had any boyfriends nor sexual partners before.
Ive been seeing so much about this on tiktok. Some women say the feeling never leaves and they just suffer with it in silence, some have even chose to end the relationship because it got too bad. Im stuck and reading more and more replies from women on TikTok just scares me even more.
Girls, does it ever get better? Or are there things you do to help you get over it? Thank you to those who read <3
