I (19M) sometimes cant get past the fact that my girlfriend (17F) of 4 months had sex with a 45 year old married sugar daddy for $400 before we started dating but while we were still hooking up and didn’t properly tell me about it until after we were together

We were friends with benefits for a few months before we started dating and I knew she had gotten $50 from this sugar daddy but she told me they had only gone for coffee and met once at a cafe, I only found out that she had slept with him for money until after we had started going out and that she still had him added on Snapchat and he was trying to message her often still. I made her block him and she was happy to, I know nothing happened in the time since we were together but it is still on my mind a lot of the time and tbh sickens me a lot. I love her and have no problems trusting her, with attraction to her or anything but sometimes it’s the only thing I can think of and I wish it had never happened. I don’t know how to get past it, like if I should talk to her about it or not because I don’t want to make her feel bad for what she did when we weren’t together because I have no say in that. I don’t know what to do, should I tell her how I feel even though it’s my problem not hers o...

He [19M] ghosted me but I [19F] still have his sweatshirt. Should I ask if he wants it back?

Long story short we had a short lived romance that ended when summer started and we went home from college. Basically we tried to make it work, distance was too much and we mutually kind of ghosted eachother. Last text I sent was a heartfelt paragraph which he didn’t respond to. Message taken loud and clear, I left him alone. School starts soon and I still have his sweatshirt that he insisted I take. Do I reach out even though we wouldn’t have talked in two months and ask if he wants it back? I don’t want a relationship with him and I don’t want to seem crazy by texting him AGAIN. I genuinely don’t want his sweatshirt because it reminds me of him, but I don’t want to throw it out because what if he actually wants it back. What should I do? tl;dr guy gave me his sweatshirt, ghosted me. Do I offer to give it back after two months no talking?

Tricky tricky friendships.

Okay so i posted this somewhere else but why not here. and were both going into freshman year) so for a little back story, here's the problem. So towards close to the beginning of October of 8th grade, me and my friend (ill call him E.) Started hanging out after something happened and we just started hanging out. So then him and this girl that started hanging out with us (ill call her J) started dating. Now i had liked her before but she didn't like me back. So we just remained friends. So after a couple months of just being the awesome 3rd wheel this other girl (L) joined our group. I ended up getting a huge crush on her. And somehow we ended up dating. So by now we are all basically dating the other person/gender in the group. So during the summer, i had lost my phone. And blah blah blah, my gf broke up with me, E and J broke up and hate each other. So here comes the real problem lol. So J was the person who I've been talking to the most that has helped me the most. And ...

I feel so lost and conflicted despite having everything.

I’m going to rant a bit so I apologise if this post gets a bit ramble-y though I’ll try and keep it to the point. For the past 5 years of my life I feel like I’ve been battling who I am and who I want to be, I went through High School completely alone I just couldn’t fit in and find out who I am or who I was meant to be though these are all normal teenage experiences I admit it was harder battling it alone. I went through up and down phases of being disrespectful to teachers and having a negative attitude against a lot of people I admit this was a reaction to being lost and alone and it ended up costing me Year 12. I graduated High School with the hope of going into Media I was only 17 when I “graduated” or at least left and had my sights set on working something film related I ended up finding myself disliking the subject and dropping out. I ended up working between three jobs and in November that year I had decided to study Business instead, two semesters later and now I’m doing...

The difference between "second choice" and understanding someone needing closure?

Hello reddit, I'm standing in a bit of a moral corner here. Without going into too much detail (I'll indulge if it helps the answer) I (23f) was in a relationship with my ex (23m) for about 8 months. We started dating just after he was forced to stop seeing someone that he cared about because she was dragging him through the mud and his friends pulled him out of it before he could see "if it would have worked out or not". He understands why they did it, but still never really had closure with the girl. Shortly afterwards we wound up dating and I had an extreme complex (see:jealousy) over the fact that they still talked while he was obsessive over her. I was also extremely emotionally unstable at the time (started meds 6 months ago so I'm much better now). The timing of it all and my inability to effectively communicate about the situation without getting mad, combined with his own mental issues and inability to handle me when I was in that state created a pretty...

Not good enough for MIL

Soon to be MIL is middle eastern and although she “likes” me she sees me as uncultured and incapable of taking care of a household and not the best match for her son. She questions what her son sees in me but he takes this as her just being curious what her son likes about me whereas I see it as her not having a clue why he would like someone like me. I use to feel much closer to his mom when I started hanging around their family more a couple years ago but at that time she didn’t know we were interested in each other. Once she found out, that’s when I felt a shift in our relationship and started to feel judged. I want to be respectful but this it’s hurtful to know she would prefer someone else for her son. My SO (29) and I (29) have been together since 2012 and at the beginning of our relationship we were in our early 20s and he had a horrible wandering eye that he would pursue. He’s grown to be a very kind loving person that is very much in love with me but I’ve always been stress...

I (30M) told my now ex-girlfriend (29F) after 1.5 years of dating that I could not marry her because of her nationality. She said I have a little penis and left. Did I deserve her comment? I feel hurt. I am below average.

We are both Caucasians, from neighbouring countries, but different nationalities. I grew up in a whole environment that was racist against her country, even my whole family. She is educated in the States, a successful, beautiful and very smart woman. Yet, I could not do it. She did sacrifice many things for our relationship and I know I disrespected her time and effort. TL;DR: I didn't marry girlfriend because of her nationality. She backfired saying I have a little penis. Did I deserve it? I feel hurt.
