Yesterday i snuggled with my girlfiend and she tried to play-wrestle me, so i pinned her arm down. Than she said jokingly:
-You dont need to do pretend this alpha shit with me.
-Pretend? Alpha shit? Than what do you think i am?
-You more like a beta.

That hit me hard as a train. I've been rejected by her a few years back. Thats when i knew i had to grow up, the childhood days are over. I started to work out, started go to my university classes again (before that i just hang out with friend insted of going to classes), and improve all aspects of my life. Got a few hookups, some friends with benefints, than a girlfiend for 2 years. After we broke up with my ex we started to talk more, fast forward to now, i broke out the friendzone and we are together for a year now.

Im a caring, gentle, all around fun guy, but my kindness never gets in my way to tell my opinion, or stand up for myself or my loved ones.

I dont know how to feel about that, or even how to talk about this. Im not said or mad at her, if anything im disapointed. Like i didnt grown as a person since the rejection.

Any advice?
