How do you guys deal with this? I introduced my LTR to a good friend of mine and he pulled some bs. I didn't handle it very well and looked like a pussy compared to him. I talked to him about it a few days later (which was part of me not handling it well) and he apologized/thanked me for calling him out or whatever but still my ego is fucking floundering and I hate it. This was MONTHS ago.

For a while he was and has been my morpheus so to speak but honestly even listening to his advice just pisses me off at this point. I've literally been having autistic thoughts like "she know's someone who I respect is more manly than me. I might as well break up with her and start over with someone who doesn't." and "I'm scared to bring her around him again because I'm just gonna look like a pussy again, and if I don't end up looking like a pussy it's just because I basically had to tell him to use the kid gloves because I'm still working on myself."

Like I said, this was months ago, so I should be well over it, but I'm just not and I can't figure out why. I don't even think about this when I'm with my girl. It just pops up out of nowhere during the week and pisses me off for like an hour. I've talked to my father about it and his advice was just "you just have to let that shit go man" which is definitely what I need to do but in spite of knowing that I'm still sitting here hot.

What am I missing here? I can give 0 fucks about so much retarded shit but this just won't go away for some reason.
