I had a decent 3yr LTR that finally ran its course and died an AF turned BB death. My fault, fine. Towards the end I KNEW it was done when I realized the way she was acting was NOT the way I knew she would act with a man she viewed top tier. I had lost my AF card I had 3 years ago and it was obvious. The following 'Would she.. for kip moore' test was an interesting lesson.

My gf has been a huge fan of Kip Moore, the country singer. Honestly I was a fan too, being the one that introduced her to country music. And sure I knew she had a crush on him in that kind of famous person way. I can admire the guys skills, body, and persona as well as anyone else. Except I see it as effort he put in and became, instead of the way I think women see quality men.

But one day we were talking about his latest song, and however it came up she said "I just think he is an amazing specimen of a man" while she moved her hands in front of her outlining his imaginary shoulders and torso. Thats the moment I knew I was fucked.

Imagine a man saying about an actress on Tv "now that is an amazing all around quality woman" to his gf. She'd either die or flip the hamster into overdrive. Most men only go as far as saying "that women is hot" and in the Kip Moore case it would have been the equivalent of her saying "hes talented" or "he built up a good body".

As this relationship ran its final stages into the ground, I kept the Kip Moore idea in my mind.

-When I wanted to eat in but she wanted to eat out.. would she have expressed disappointment to Kip Moore doing the same thing?

-When I initiated sex for the second time in the morning.. would she tell Kip Moore she was sore while begrudgingly touching herself to get wet?

-If we had a fight and were on the rocks.. would she tell her friends she was so tired of Kip Moore's bs and ask for advice if she should leave?

-Would she start texting her coworkers from Kip Moores house, telling him 'dont worry theyre only guy friends asking for help in their relationships'?

-Would she choose to see her gfs on a Friday night because they haven't hung out in a long time, when Kip Moore only has Friday and Saturday nights available to see her?

-Would she tell Kip Moore to eat more fruit, and express distaste, because his meat and vegetable diet was making him finishing in her mouth unpleasant for her?

-Would she tell Kip Moore that she wasn't wet that time because they hadn't even been kissing before he moved her to the bed during the movie they were watching?

-Would she tell her friends that the weekend trip she went on with Kip Moore was 'ok I guess, the place we stayed was weird'?

TLDR: Often times guys blind themselves and aren't sure if a girl's behavior is 'normal' or 'acceptable'. Normal or acceptable don't even matter to me anymore. Now I ask myself "is this behavior in line with how shed treat her fantasy guy?" If not, I'm not it for her plain and simple. What you do from there is the question I still havent answered.
