My ex wife was a sever ditto to that mate. She had no-one other than me, and a few work mates and like 2 girls who lived miles away.
My current girl, she has friends but I trust them, they are not the wrong type of girls from what I know.
However, we met on OLD and there are quite a few men out there wtth her number who hit her up from time to time. Obviously it's tempting for her to not block them and enjoy the pursuit. Also there is risk present. However, she's already wanting to plan kids and maririage so keeping in context is key. I also know that it can change on the head of a pin.
Just tired of stressing about it. I have blown my jealousy fuse. I realise I can't control shyt. I cannot control what she wants or does. All I can do is decide. If I sense something is up, I can go. Until this happens, I'll enjoy my time with her, she can plan away, yet I know that nothing is certain and just take each day as it comes.
Yep! And that is the main thing to it. Just understanding that whatever happens is going to happen, whether you like it or not. So just make the best of it...? Being aloof will not cause as much damage as being jealous, that's for sure... I am in a good place, where if she bailed, I don't feel like I would be a trainwreck, much more comfortable than the last girl I dated. Maybe that is from SS though and now understanding I can get women no problem?
Fortunately, my lady has never done OLD, so she doesn't have those randoms hitting her up. Why do guys do that anyways? Hit girls up months later? lol... Not sure if they are just that sad, or lazy... a guy with no options goes back digging through the trash
I am going to make better attempts at making light of it and joking. IF she presses, then I will fight fire with fire. I remember her ex hit her up a couple months back, and she told me about it. So I asked her.. "so you don't mind me keeping in contact with my exes too, am I right?" She blocked him right away (or at least told me she did)... either way, I played light of it, so she keeps communications open about that kinds of stuff.
Just got a thought to support when girls talk about other guys... the importance of playing it cool when she brings up another guy...
She says things, and you don't care or make a joke of it, you keep her open. (this is like relationship 101)
By keeping her open, you maintain the advantage of knowing her agenda. (she will keep talking)
The longer she stays open, the more you learn. (she will continue to reveal herself while you check the boxes under "acceptable" or "unacceptable")
The more you learn, the easier it is to make a decision about your future together.
