Shes been in multiple relationships and had serious ones before me
Im her first guy with less experience and sometimes I feel like she compares me to her past
She says she loves me but sometimes she makes jokes about things she used to do with her ex and it hurts
I feel like I will never match up to the guys before me
I try to act confident but deep inside I feel small and insecure
How do I stop letting her past affect me now
TL;DR
Girlfriend (F21) has more experience than me (M22) and I feel insecure together 7 months

What’s wrong with her why does she think it’s okay to make jokes about things she used to do with her ex? That’s so rude
“Things she used to do with her ex” like sexually?? I had serious relationships before my boyfriend now (who had zero relationships) and I would never bring up my ex and definitely not compare them because 1, that’s a shitty thing to do, & 2, it’s unhelpful and unnecessary.
You’re right to feel insecure and it sounds like her past is affecting you because she keeps bringing it up. I wouldn’t expect my boyfriend to try to figure out how HE can stop my letting comments affect him when he is the one being compared.
