Original Reddit post

i recently got out of a relationship and my ex partner turned an insecurity id always had into an all consuming pain that is lowkey destroying me mentally because of how i look physically. there was a constant cycle of him saying he liked this physical feature of mine, id start to feel comfortable and good about it, then he’d watch explicit content of other women who always had the opposite of what i did, id become really insecure about it again, and the cycle would start all over. each time this happened the insecurity got worse. when i told him that his actions and how they were contradicting his words was making my insecurity 10X worse he agreed that he was, saying he was sorry and that it wasn’t his intention. after that conversation he continued to do it. he lied about literally everything, so im not sure if he was truly sorry. my question for other men who have made a past or present partner insecure about something, what do you feel about having done that to them? looking for real truthful answers! no sugar coating please :) submitted by /u/mycatrunsthisaccount
