Bad Oneitis Killing My Confidence
I've been with my gf (31F) for a few months, and though we have had some rough patches we are pretty stable now. (See previous post here: www.trp.red/feed/status/217343)
The only thing that's bothering me is my rampant oneitis, and the fact that I clearly love her more than she loves me. It's screwing me up on the inside, causing me to be jealous about all sorts of shit, worrying about her past, etc. It's a mess. I know me and her are probably not going to stay together forever, and I'll admit I probably should've kept her as a plate in the beginning, but it's too late for that now.
Being in this relationship has actually made my life worse, but I would like to get back to feeling like normal, but without ending it. In other words, I'm looking to cure my oneitis.
I've been searching through a lot of TRP materials on how to do this, and can't find any solid advice of how to get rid of oneitis, except for "have abundance bro." That's all fine and well, but that sounds more like a state of mind than any advice. When you're "in love" or whatever, I've noticed that the more you resist, the worse it gets.
Would you guys simply classify her as a side chick silently and spin more plates? I don't really know what to do here.
I honestly do believe I could find another girl, and a hotter one, if we broke up. But this doesn't even matter to me right now because I just like her. IDK.
Thanks for any advice.
Seeking abundance is definitely a strategy to consider, but that won't work for you right now. It would be like putting the chicken before the egg. Your one-itis is due to a lack of self-confidence, so it's more important that you focus on developing the self-confidence you lack, and the best ways in which to do this is to identify, meet, and overcome various challenges.
For now, don't overly concern yourself with this relationship lasting forever, but on handling it differently than you did before. The book should cover that end of things. If she wants to be someone who shares your life, she will have to become someone who proves it through the sincerity of her actions, as opposed to hollow words. If she just wants a stallion to ride, and you've no problems with this, then give her the ride of her life as it suits you, but you'll have to also become a man who stands firm to his refusal to appease her even when it leaves you blue-balled. This will have to be the case for anyone you let into your life romantically from here on. You don't follow them, you lead, not with a whip, but a willingness to leave them behind and find someone else to take their place.
As for developing your self-confidence, take a few minutes to sit down to write a list of the things that you want to do that you've been putting off for work, school, family, or whatever. Don't worry about how ridiculous or challenging those things might be, just focus on putting your ideas to paper and making the list. Then on another sheet of paper re-write your list, with the easiest or simplest idea at the top and work your way down to the most challenging.
When you're done, get started on the simplest item on that list and don't stop until you've accomplished everything you've written. If you encounter obstacles on the way that prevent you from completing anything on your list at anytime, feel free to check in, and let us know. We'll point you in the direction of any reference sources that will help you in achieving them.
Read More18M and need advice for girl with boyfriend. (Possible alpha widow?)
I'll try to keep things short. I apologize for the schoollike drama but keep in mind everyone in this story is 18.
There's this girl I met 2 months ago. We were friends and at the beginning I didn't like her at all, I actually was more interested in her friend. But of course as time went on and I spent more time with her, I ended up little by little liking her. Now, while I know many of you are probably going to directly diagnose me with 'full blown oneitis', it's not like that. I'm in a LTR and I have another fwb, so it's not I'm out here desperate for a crumb of pussy.
Anyway, not to get off topic. A bit of background about this girl: She's the same age as I (18) and she's been seeing her boyfriend for the past 3 years. He was her first everything, and while at the beginning everything was good, in the past year he started treating her like shit. She was of course unhappy, but tolerated it due to some 'external factor', according to her friend.
Now at first things were completly platonic, especially after I learned about her boyfriend. However as things went on, it started changing. She would get touchy (tickling, biting) and eventually I just said fuck it and kissed her (on the cheek and then right on the lips as of recently).
A week ago she began kissing me back. She was hesitant the whole time, didn't want to cheat on her boyfriend and even asked me if kissing me back counted as 'cheating' (lol). But after a while she gave in, although she stops after a while and resists again (the hamster on overdrive probably).
She knows about my girlfriend and in the past few weeks has been telling me to break up (my relationship with my gf is good but there are shaky moments). I told her I broke up (I didn't) and that now it's her turn. At first she said 'she didnt have a reason to' and didn't want to be alone. I told her she wouldn't be and said we should start dating (I am considering her for an LTR as she's not a bad girl).
She seems indecisive however, and says she feels bad after all the time she's wasted on this relationship (sunk cost fallacy, he was her first everything after all). And still hasn't after I asked her to. I think she might be alpha widowed and last night I saw something that probably confirmed it. Her saved messages has all of his messages where he complimented and said he loved her.
This got me thinking and while it's hard to try and be unbiased I came to the conclusion that she's just using me. She doesn't get enough attention from her boyfriend so she get's it from me instead. She's using me to get her boyfriend jealous in the hopes that he will change and I'm just her 'backup option'.
I don't have anyone irl i can discuss this with which is why I came here to ask what you guys think. I'd appreciate any help or insights on this.
Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.
Read MoreHow? How do you guys approach women with any kind of non-platonic intent? How do you EVER get any woman interested for ANY length of time? I physically cannot bring myself to interact with any woman. I'm 35 and have never even flirted with a woman. I don't even know what that looks like. I just want ONE woman out of multiple BILLIONS of women to be interested in me, if only for a short time, but I have no idea how to initiate even the most remote possibility of that happening. I think I'm approaching clinical levels of insanity. Sometimes I feel like the only person on Earth who has a sex drive, and the only person on Earth who can't get laid. I don't know what to do. I'm in agony all the time. Theory doesn't help. I have nothing. I'm at absolute zero.
How in the living fuck do you be a man?
Here's a ten minute video where Joshua Graham teaches you how to be a man you might find worth listening to. Also, check out this 6 minute clip of an interview with the late Steve Allen, a talk show host most well known from hosting NBC's "Tonight Show", in which he shares brief reflections on his life, growing up during the American depression, his early adult years, marriage, and his admittedly inept parentage. He voices particular frustration about how society makes sure people are well trained to be productive, but when it came to being instructed on being good wives, husbands, parents, or to simply be a good person, there were no reference points provided for him to start with. I can only pray the links provided are the beginning of many such reference points for you. If you need more, feel free to ask.

Read MoreWhy would she be inconsistent if she is forthcoming about her plans?
I've been in an exclusive relationship with a woman for two months, known her for seven. The sex is great, and she's nurturing, caring, and consistent in her behavior. Communication is open, and she’s forthcoming about her plans. We're currently in a long distance dynamic but she's moving here next month.
The issue: She’s been vague and inconsistent about a male co-worker. Months ago (when we weren’t exclusive), she mentioned going out with colleagues and described this guy as a family man in his 40s. Recently, she said she was going out with "girls and one guy" when I asked if it was the same guy, she said yes but corrected herself from "40s" to "30." Later on the phone I found out he's not married like she claimed, and she said we were probably talking about another coworker. (I am sure this detail was a lie, but why she lied is up for questioning).
I also found out she hasn’t told her colleagues that she’s in a relationship. She downplays her relationship with colleagues a lot. But I saw she talks with this guy outside of work (exchanging Instagram videos). Contradicting her claim of not talking to them outside work, she’s even left her cat at his place when visiting me 2 months ago.
Given how open she is otherwise, I am contemplating whether this is a serious concern or just plain overthinking? Especially since I don't understand why she's doing this as her behavior hasn't changed in the slightest.
This reads like a non-issue borne out of fear and speculation on your part.
You're in one town while she's in another. You both have to work to support yourselves. In that time you both will be working with people of the opposite sex, some of whom maybe better looking than the person you're currently with. Until you can transition this relationship of yours back to an in-person one fixating on this will only grow your anxiety into distrust. This is why it's oftentimes best to not maintain long-distance relationships and end things if you ever have to relocate for schooling or work.

Read MoreSo the story goes like this:
A friend is getting shit from his woman. He's figured from bits and pieces that I'm the go to place for emergency situations. Asks for advice. I tell him what's going on, and what he has to do. He's perplexed, so I have to explain the why's. He's pissed or desperate, so he "gets it", follows the advice, gets his woman in line.
Then he avoids me.
I'm the villain, preventing him from re-idealizing her, and he'd prefer to play it self-sufficient rather than thankful.
Nice guys too, not assholes.

A Czech nurse working in a European hospital in Munich, Germany gives an unfiltered report on the ways in which diversity and third world migrants are enhancing the average European hospital experience broken into two-parts in this twitter/X thread. It goes without being said, that she does this anonymously at risk to herself as the current German regime will likely not hesitate to have her forcibly dis-employed, dispossessed of her wealth, and repatriated to the Czech republic.
Yesterday, at the hospital, we had a meeting about how the situation here and the other Munich hospitals are unsustainable. Clinics cannot handle the number of migrant medical emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the main hospitals. Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff, and we women are now refusing to go among those migrants. Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units.
Many migrants have ADS, syphilis, open TB and many exotic diseases that we in Europe do not know how to treat. If they receive a prescription to the pharmacy; they learn they have to pay cash, this leads to unbelievable outbursts, especially when it is about drugs for the children. They abandon the children to the pharmacy staff with the words: So, cure them yourselves. So the police are not only guarding the clinics and hospitals, but also the large pharmacies.
We ask openly where are all those who welcomed the migrants in front of TV cameras with signs at train stations ? Yes, for now, the border has been closed, but a million of them are already here and we will definitely not be able to get rid of them. Until now, the number of unemployed in Germany was 2.2 million. Now it will be at least 3.5 million. Most of these people are completely unemployable. Only a minimum of them have any education. What is more, their women usually do not work at all. I estimate that one in ten is pregnant. Hundreds of thousands of them have brought along infants and little kids under six, many emaciated and very needy. If this continues and Germany re-opens its borders, I am going home to the Czech republic. Nobody can keep me here in this situation, not even for double the salary back home. I came to Germany to work, not to Africa or the Middle East!
Even the professor who heads our department told us how sad it makes him to see, but worth the read…especially the cleaning woman, who has cleaned every day for years for 800 euros and then meets crowds of young men in the hallways who just wait with their hands outstretched, waiting for free, and when they don’t get it, they throw a fit. I really don’t need this, but I am afraid that if I return home, at some point it will be the same in the Czech Republic. If the Germans, with their systems, cannot handle this, then guaranteed, back home will be total chaos…
You – who have not come in contact with these people have absolutely no idea what kind of badly behaved desperadoes these people are, and how Muslims act superior to our staff, regarding their religious accommodation. For now, the local hospital staff have not come down with the diseases these people brought here, but with so many hundreds of patients every day of this is just a question of time. In a hospital near the Rhine, migrants attacked the staff with knives after they had handed over an 8 month old on the brink of death, who they dragged across half of Europe for three months. The child died two days later, despite having received top care at one of the best pediatric clinics in Germany. The pediatric physician had to undergo surgery and the two nurses are recovering in the ICU. Nobody has been punished. The local press is forbidden to write about it, so we can only inform you through e-mail.
What would have happened to a German if he had stabbed the doctor and nurses with a knife? Or if he had flung his own syphilis infected urine into a nurses face and so threatened her with infection? At a minimum, he would have gone straight to jail and later to court. With these people so far, nothing has happened.
And so I ask: Where are all those greeters and receivers from the train stations? Sitting pretty at home, enjoying their uncomplicated, safe lives.

Read MoreDating two friends. How to fix fuckup?
I had been dating two girls for 3/4 months respectively. They became friends 1 month in as we all train at the same gym together and they were both around me at times. No exclusivity with either, although I wasn't exactly open about who I was sleeping with. The problem began two weeks ago when they hung out outside of the gym and told eachother everything, the next day they both broke it off. They have been orbiting me the past few weeks in the gym coming in the exact same times, TOGETHER. I was getting more serious with one of them and the other one got jealous and decides to ruin it.
I have been no contact with both for two weeks, they both regularly look my way and I give a simple smile and move on. Will they reach out at some point? I donm't give a fuck if one does but the other I am more interested in.
What's the solution? Remain no contact, go by my business and if they reach out ask to meet up?
update - Approached the one I like in the gym, she maintained that she is completely done because of the lack of trust. I said that I respect that and left it at that. This isn't recoverable aye?
This is a non-issue. You did nothing wrong, they're just idiots. Those two made some delusional resolution to feminist solidarity. As they see you with other females, they'll start acting like kids jealous someone's enjoying their old toy, and will feel themselves compelled to take corrective action to get back into your life. If they treat you well, I don't see why you shouldn't grow your inventory of plates by two more.
