Bro, I was expecting to hear some truly embarrassing story… you didn’t screw anything up at all! Trust me, the fact that she spoke up about your actions to you, means that she likes you. If she didn’t like you, there would be no need on her part, to try to get you to open up. You had a perfect opportunity to talk about cuddling with her and then you changed the subject- that part you screwed up, sure, but idk why you sound as if the relationship is done for.

Now that you know she’s into you, try not to be so shy to talk about wanting to spend time with her/wanting to kiss her, etc. I overthink shit way too much too, but I promise you’re fine dude. If you want to shift gears you could tell her something like “hey I appreciate you being comfortable enough with me to ask me to open up more. I promise I will try, but I just want you to know that if I end up going back to my same ways, I’ll always respect you for being upfront with me the way you were the other day. I want you to know that I’ll put in effort to make this work, because I really like you.” Good luck m8, and have fun :)

I despise him for what he did but people slamming him for not asking for consent are dense because being “too” drunk to make sound decisions is very much individually based. I could cut this guy down a million times for making the decision he did but that’s not my place or yours. He’s asking how to go forward and I did just that in an earlier comment.

I’ve said this a dozen times now, my intent is not to defend him whatsoever. My point was that he was too drunk to consider asking for consent and even if he did that he probably wouldn’t be able to stop because he was at that level of being drunk. HE IS BEYOND WRONG but I can’t arrest this dude in another country so at the end of the day I’m only gonna tell him how he should move forward rather than berate this guy and inch him closer to doing something he’s already considering.

Do you have open communication with your boyfriend? Could he not tell you were uncomfortable?

If I was him I would have taken you out of the house for a walk and got you some food. I don't understand how you were that hungry and didn't tell him or that his dad was acting weird and you didn't tell him.

I hate big family Christmas get togethers

I disagree completely. You’re not. It’s not even being a brat. The family wasn’t truly welcoming. They wouldn’t stop pushing and prodding. You had boundaries and you acted on them accordingly.

By all rights, we appear to have differing political points of view but I would never let that get in the way of a holiday. Controversial topics and discussing opposing viewpoints can be fine if the conversation is truly in good faith. But it sounds like it was more of an own the libs thing. And it probably isn’t a good idea for the first time meeting someone, anyway. The family who can’t contain their toxicity even for the duration of the Christmas family gathering is the collective A.

And love him or not, I don’t know if that’s sustainable long term. Hating your life every time you see your significant other’s family is no way to go through life.

So many comments just glossed over that this dude felt it completely acceptable and actually heroic to cheat on his SO. Dude, even if you lost your virginity, your sexual experience won't change THAT much with one time. So you cheated and we're an untrustworthy pos for nothing. Also, women generally don't care. In fact, it's preferable to alot of women because we can set the expectation for a man not to use as a bang machine and maybe care about our experience too. So many younger guys who have lots of experience just use it for self gratification and the girls never even get to experience climaxing. Experience literally means nothing. You are just a crap person.
