DJ8433 agony auntNot a stupid boy, just not yet a man. Learn from this experience, it will make you wiser. I'm still learning at 44, but listen to what your woman is saying. If she's feeling insecure, try to make her feel more secure.It's better to keep the past in the past, and tell her that you have done that very thing. If was a flippant remark that gave you an ego boost at her expense, now you've hurt her feeling and you that's the last thing you wanted to do. Let it go, when she brings it up, briefly apologize once again, and let her go on. Don't argue with her, confront her, or belittle her, it will only make her feel more insecure. Be a man, let it go.

hugs2muchgal agony auntNever say an ex is hot. Ever.

I personally don't care when my boyfriend talks about hot girls BUT if he passes a certain point, by being too interested I'm hurt.

What you did wasn't a big deal to a man, but to a woman, she feels as though you said your ex was hotter than her, and you'd rather have sex with your ex. Stupid I know but us women are really strange.

Apologize and tell your girlfriend how even though you said your ex was hot, she is beautiful. She is better than your ex, afterall, there is a reason you're with her and not the ex. Talk her up and she should warm back up to you in no time.

Best of luck and you can always message me for more help.
