Hi everyone, this question is for the ladies mostly. Unless any men here have experience with a similar situation from the other (mine) side of it.
Here we go:
I was dating this woman (lets call her B) for a year and a half. It was magical, and neither of us had any doubt that we were each other's soulmate/the person to be with forever. Unfortunately, we let our careers come between us and split us up. It was a serious mistake, both of us realize it, though both of us find ourselves further ahead in our lives (and while we still believe that we are IT for each other) and with different people. When we hang out, we always talk about how much we miss each other etc etc, and how great it would be, and I can't really go into all the details as to why, but we are unable to be together mainly because of our careers. In anycase, we had a little slip up last week. Her boyfriend was gone, and my girlfriend was gone, and we spent the night together. It was nice. And the thought of us being together again was even more dominant.
But there's a problem now, and it's this:
When we were together before, as far as sex goes...I was the damn king of the jungle for her. I mean, she loved everything I did, and it was the best she ever had etc etc. Because I've got a competetive side, and that satisfied it, it binded me to her in an extreme sense.
Anyway, apparently the new guy is good as well. And, on top of being good, he's massive. We had a talk about it today where I made her be 100% honest with me (not smart, I knew at the time, but it was killing me). Her: "Well, first off, he's HUGE. So while the first week was a bit uncomfortable, now I like it" "other than that, he's just different" etc etc etc. But when it comes down to it, just speaking about sex, she'd prefer him over me.
Now I know she's not mine anymore, and I have no logical realistic reason for feeling like this; but it hit me like a ton of bricks. And now, I'm having trouble thinking of getting back together with her (which we were talking about) and being happy for the rest of my life having to deal with the thought that I can't live up to the old boyfriend's performance. Which kinda sucks, because I'm more than willing to work my ass off to out perform him, but if he's rolling the elephant trunk, there's not much I can do. I mean, I'm slightly above average myself, but not as big as this guy, apparently. Goddamned genetics.
Anyway, it's all kinda messing me up in the head, and I love her so goddamned much that I don't wanna abolish the idea of being with her just because of a stupid insecurity. I don't suppose any women here can give me any insight into how women think about this, how much it means, stories of personal experiences, what can be done...or anything else!!
Thanks so much.
