Advice on GF

23yo at the moment based in SF so dating scene is obv a shitshow. Been with my GF for six months - she slept with her friend in her past. It bothers me every time I think about the fact that she had a one night stand with a friend despite the fact that I’m almost certain she has a low body count. Any advice on how I can man the fuck up and just accept it?

She slept with her friend before you were dating? Or during? Was the friend a guy or a girl?

Dont think it's hypocritical, dont think it's a deal breaker necessarily either

It's hypocritical if you're upset she had sex with another guy before you and youve had sex with several women. But her sleeping with a friend and still being friends with the dude is a legitimate thing to be uncomfortable with. That said, that stuff happens in friend groups time to time and tbh can definitely hook up and be platonic afterwards, but it really just depends on the vibes you are getting from them.

If they are hanging out one on one, you think he is biding time, they are doing flirty things, then yea F that

Having a higher body count for sure helps with jealousy in the early stage of a relationship. But if you really like someone, the thought of them being with someone else can still piss you off. Don't think there's any trick for this other than just being more mature and accepting that everyone has prior partners

Not sure how having a higher body count “helps with jealousy.” I like girls to have low body counts.

lol completely the wrong take. If she is giving you a heads up that she hooked up with someone in her friend group that's a sign of respect and trust. Otherwise, if she sat on that information she is making you look like the clown when everyone in the room has different information than you have

 

Have fun dealing with that friend always being at her heels whenever you mess up. If they've fucked, they can't just "be friends" while she's in another relationship. There's always going to be that tension and most women talk to their "friends" whenever they're having trouble/experiencing difficulty in a relationship. The problem you should focus on isn't that she has slept with a guy before you. It's that she's still friends with this guy now that she's with you.

I agree here. I was under the impression that there was no other baggage other than she banged that dude and is no longer friends. If they’re still friends there’s no future for this woman 

 

Her honesty in telling you is admirable and open, which is a good thing. Orange flag is that they're still in same friend group or see each other here and there potentially. I'd keep an eye on that. 

 

Respectfully, men focus on a woman’s past and women focus on a man’s future. Just how the world works imo - I don’t want to get on my knee for someone’s one night stand
