24 years old and only one girlfriend

76% Normal

Key points
1) I had a very brief relationship with my current girlfriends sister. The extent of it was kissing and it didn't last very long. Maybe a few weeks.

2) Current girlfriend used to be best friend's girlfriend of a year and a half. I've been with her now for almost 2 years. They were broken up for a year and a half before we started dating. Best friend is no longer a friend.

3) I love her to death and she would do anything for me, but I feel like I've had zero experience. I moved off to college 150 miles away. I don't want to leave her, but at the same time, I wonder if the relationship is hindering me. I know shes happy with me and would 'probably' even marry me eventually if things kept on the current path. I love her too and its almost unthinkable to break up with her. Yet I still have those thoughts and I still wonder if its right.

4) I cheated on my current girlfriend very early on in the relationship by getting drunk and making out with a girl I met. I stopped it before sex happened, and told my girlfriend about it the next day. We've moved on from this.

Am I normal to only have this relationship at 24? Should I explore other women?

    Honestly, I think it's sweet! I still have feelings for my first love and we broke up in 1990! Also it sounds like you have a good moral character. I've been married and divorced twice now and had more relationships than I care to recall and honestly it wasn't good for me emotionally and spiritually. Lots of relationships where there isn't any true love are a waste of time that could be better spent studying, hanging out with friends & family, having a good pet, exploring hobbies, traveling and working on a career. Nowadays it's considered socially acceptable to have lots of relationships that are more about sex and less about love. Take from an older Generation Xer chick who feels like she's wasted 20 years of her life. Quantity doesn't equal quality! If you love your girlfriend and feel she's the one take your time and let things happen naturally. If and when ya'll may end up breaking up enjoy the time you are single and take care of yourself and don't look for a new person to "fill the void". If ya'll breakup at some point don't get serious with anyone else til your over the relationship. When people get too close, too intimate, too fast with too many people it leads to depression, anxiety, co dependence, sex and love addiction, disease and unwanted pregnancy. You sound like a smart guy stay that way; just trust God and love yourself.

    I'm not worried about the girlfriend thing so much. I'm more concerned that you Amish people are using the internet now.

    I was getting pissed a lot when I was your age, if I wasn't pissed I was shagging some bird and shagging them hard.

    I didn't settle down until I was 31 years old.

    Would I change a thing, what do you think?

    I know people who are older than you and haven't even been kissed. Don't worry, just continue in whatever feels right. Love is weird, there is no rights or wrongs. People just explore different options at different times.

    If you really love this girl, you need to make a better commitment to her, you're very lucky she gave you a second chance. Try to be with her more, as this will show how much she means to you. Even the occasional "drop-in" can reassure her of your love.

    Wishing you the best.

    Do you love her if so.

    Its normal to have those feels I do and I'm 18 years old happy and all but hes my first ~N~ only but I wonder how it would be with other people and stuff.

    But if you love her it will would out.And maybe some talking will help.

    Maybe playing with yourself and looking at other girls will work.DON'T CHEAT!!!They will hurt ur guys relapship and maybe the nxt.

    But maybe you can tell her how you feel but you love her.Maybe you guys can get together in 5 yrs...And love each other without these feelings.

    See if my boyfriend wasn't sure mostly if we were going to get married.I would want him to make sure he gets all the sex out and stuff but not cheating breaking up not getting anybody prednet.Cuz I would like to be his number chose.

    So just do a break or breakup 4 5 yrs...Try something...Get the sex out but don't CHEAT...Cheating never comes out....
