Ehh.. since Lodewijkp is on an extended break, I'm going to start my own "ask me anything thread"
Quote:
I'm in a semi-long distance relationship. It's still early days (about a month long). She's visiting in my home town for this week... This Tuesday evening she told me she kissed a guy (while she was away)... the next day she were so heart broke telling me how big of a mistake she made. Now everything is chilled again, but because I don't feel I can trust her again, I get irritated (and clingy at times) whenever she's busy on her phone (texting) with other guys. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do?
Your question isn't very clear.. are you asking me if the texting is normal? Or the fact that it makes you irritated and clingy? What are you asking?
Either way, you are allowing your insecurities to get the best of you. If you are going to do the distance thing, then you can't let this stuff bother you. Make a point to show that 1) You aren't intimidated by the idea of other guys and that 2) she doesn't have control over your emotions.
Example -
Girl: I kissed a guy, I'm so sorry
Wolf: Well, I'm glad you're having fun when I'm not around. Was he hot? I can't have my girlfriend going around kissing unattractive guys. It'd make me look bad!
It doesn't really matter what you say. All that matters is that you brush it off and/or poke fun at how serious she's being about something that isn't a big deal.
Here's your frame: You are a guy with options. You are better than all her guy friends (obviously, or she wouldn't be traveling to come see you) and you know it. Therefore, her kissing a guy doesn't threaten you. Anyway, kissing isn't a big deal.
LDR's are hard. If you start acting needy or annoyed about this stuff, then the relationship is not going to work. Focus on how she acts / treats you when you are together. Don't worry about what she's doing when you are apart.
