Reply to comment by idkiwby in I (20FTM) can’t get over my boyfriends (20M) sexual past and I am desperately in need of advice (retrospective jealousy). by [deleted]

Hold off on dating for awhile and just focus on yourself and improving your self esteem.

It’s going to be hard to let him go, we are otherwise very happy together. Hard to imagine a life without him. But I will have to give this some thought. Thanks!

I agree, but think of it this way, there is still the possibility of getting back together one day when you have a better opinion of your self.

I wonder, is there no way to work on this while being in the relationship? I just don’t know how to bring this up. “Sorry, can’t be with you because I’m insecure.” You know what I mean? This is the first and only thing in the relationship that is bothering me, I would hope there’s some way I can manage this without ending it. I can’t imagine how I’d get experience otherwise. But thank you for the advice.
