But you talk so sweetly about him. And I gotta be honest. Myself and a lot of the guys I know are dense and have difficulty reading people.
It's natural to want to be treated like that. Little reminders that you are loved. Especially when we do go through bouts of insecurity. And as much as those little surprises from others help, and sometimes an unexpected kind word from someone is almost enough to make me want to cry, they aren't the answer to the insecurity.
Trying to find what you can do to make yourself feel fulfilled is a lot harder but a lot more reliable in the long run. I was in a bad bout recently. Locked myself up for a couple weeks. And I started doodling. And I'm shite but i looked at one of my doodle doods and was like “bruh you're pretty cool” and got like a truckload of dopamine. That's dumb and probably doesn't help but idk.
Unless the nicknames are inappropriate, like calling her sexylicious or something similar, I'm not sure why a nickname would make you uncomfortable. They are just friends. Friends do that sometimes.
He’s never really done that mostly because neither of us live very exciting life’s so we usually just tell each other about things that occur without anyone asking
It was wrong from moral point if view, but I don't expect it commonly understood by 18 year olds (they could understand it in general, but not when it applies to them).
Besides, even if 14and 18 maintain some form of “relation” it isn't grooming by itself. I assume he didn't get intimate with you until much later, or you would have mentioned it. Did he manipulate you into being together. This may not be an easy question for you two answer.
Did he push his feelings onto you, guilt tripping and gaslighting you, or was he just honestly interested in you, and respectfully gave you space to figure out your own feelings?
First piece of advice: don't get involved with someone who has a girlfriend (or wife) already.
Second piece of advice: of course he seems more mature and sophisticated than you. He has more years and more experience under his belt. Fool around with kids your own age.
Third piece of advice: no long distance relationships. It might seem less scary at first but it should seem even scarier, than meeting people locally.
Text him that you've changed your mind and then block him. If he's upset, he can go cry on his girlfriend's shoulder. He's a player, she can have him.
My ex was always disappointed in me whenever I bought something for myself. Be it yarn (I crochet hats for babies in our family/friends circle) or mascara. He would say “we could have spent that on groceries!”
I suppose if you’re in a partnership it should be clear on what you can spend money on, be it a hobby, or feminine products, clothes or a night out. Perhaps you can work out the cost of these nights.
I wonder if it’s truly budget based or if he’s just angry you won’t spend time home with him.
A year or two younger is fine. Anymore is gross when you are considering CHILDREN.
I'm sorry if that was being lil blunt and silly.

Same here.
Yea, totally agree/understand. Should have just clipped it from the beginning. Tough pill to swallow.
69 often
That's what I'm thinking. Like she could be still messing around on him, and even if she's not she did. It's not fair on the guy
But I love him
