Yeah, move on. Be polite enough, friendly enough when the situation warrants it.

Don’t go out of your way to speak to her unless it’s necessary, if she wants to speak to you, she will. In my experience, women aren’t too fond of keen men, especially when it’s been established you like them. 

And if she specifically asks you to bring something back from Holland, I think you can - provided it’s reasonable and with minimal fuss. But don’t bring back extra things you think she’d like. Doing so would just be a reminder that “Hey, here you go - I still like you!”.

There is a very good chance you will look back at such displays of eagerness and think “what was I doing?”.

I know I think that about a few moments from my past and slightly wince with embarrassment.
 

You know when i began my dating journey i obviously made some mistakes. From my experience when i told the girl i was into them 1st they went cold turkey on me. But then i flipped it and said to myself im not gonna express my intentions just assume she likes me so i dont have to tell her and since then the women always you use to express their feelings to me 1st.  Women are so wierd 

Your point about it being  a bit of a turn off when you told them you like them is true in my opinion

Retroactive jealousy, is this a thing for anyone? Managed to let my mind do some silly things these last few weeks, this after near enough 3 1/2 years of bouncing along without a care.

Yes, tell it to fucX off.

Horrible emotion jealousy,  it eats into you and your relationship. It eventually destroyed my first relationship but we were both very young and did foolish things that just added to each others insecurities.

Is it weird someone carrying stuff they use for sex from relationship to relationship?

I don't mean sex toys that could have been used on them by someone else but equally could be for their own use. 

I mean things like outfits, under the mattress tie up kits etc? Stuff they've bought for someone else to enjoy with them. This is primarily what is fuelling my problems at the moment and I've got a horrible feeling it is about to come to a head.

Thats the point of sex outfits ;)

In all seriousness though, do you expect people to throw stuff away when they go into different relationships? What about it her ex got her a jumper one christmas. Should she throw it away? Everyone has past relationships, you've just got to accept it and not let it bother you otherwise there is only one alternative. Microwave meals for one!

Jealousy is a horrible trait. I know people can't help it, but it really is unattractive. I've been the jealous one before in my younger days - I look back with great regret.

I get that and I dare say there are a number of things in her house that one ex or other have brought in. I'm not talking about random items of clothes, trinkets that I am oblivious to.

I'm talking about things she's bought specifically for someone else to get excited over, jizz over for all I know!

Trying hard not to be jealous, this is just pissing me off and triggers me into feeling jealous amd creating scenarios I don't want to think about.

i'm kinda with you. stuff like that is somewhat different from a jumper that an ex bought her

just say you don't want her wearing that shit around you but make sure you have some new stuff ready to give to her as a replacement

Exactly what I've done, lovehoney had a sale on today and I won £35 on a scratchcard so that bought a couple of bits!

Hopefully she gets the message next time she suggests something and I tell her I don't want her second hand crap. I've said it twice this week but not convinced she has got the message. This is why I asked on here, weird to me but I guess not everyone.

Look at the positives, your missus is getting dressed up for sexy time. The glass is half full not half empty!

I had a similar thing with an ex. She sent me some dirty pics, which should obviously be great. but I could tell from her hair style in them that they were old pics.

When I brought up that they were old pics so must have been some she'd taken for somebody else she didn't see the issue.

And it wasn't really an issue, I just didn't find myself particularly turned on by dirty pictures my missus had taken for somebody else.

 

 

So I get it, and I think it's fair enough to be honest. My advice would be to not frame it as jealousy. Frame it as your inability to really get into it knowing the stuff was meant for somebody else.
People don't like jealousy so try and frame it as you being positive

I’ve long had this suspicion that most younger women have a stock of dirty picks on their phones that get unlocked at various checkpoints.

Checkpoint 4 is my fave, when they suddenly realise I have a cock.

Mixed reactions, mixed reactions.

Is more like "are you sure that's a cock?"

‘Like a penis, but smaller’ I believe that was the nurse’s official medical opinion.
