His Girlfriend Recently Had A “Glow Up” And Has Been Getting More Male Attention, So He’s Feeling Insecure
This 24-year-old guy has been with his girlfriend, who is 23, for about two years. But recently, after going to the gym and losing some weight, his girlfriend had a “glow up.”
Since then, she has started dressing in new types of clothing that she never used to wear and even doing her makeup and hair much more often.
“I didn’t have an issue with it. I loved her confidence, and she was really happy and proud,” he recalled.
“I would always compliment and tell her she looks beautiful.”
Through the gym, though, his girlfriend wound up making some new friends. Still, he encouraged her to get out there and be social– because, before, she used to be extremely shy and struggled to make friends.
However, he claimed that his girlfriend’s new friends are pretty different than her, mainly because they like to go out a lot– which his girlfriend never did in the past.
“She was a complete homebody,” he said.
But ever since meeting her new friends, his girlfriend has started going out more. And now, she is getting a bunch of new attention from other guys– which honestly makes him really nervous.
To be clear, his girlfriend is not secretive about the attention she’s receiving. Instead, she actually just gets excited and shares the instances with him whenever they happen.

Still, his girlfriend’s “glow up” has left him feeling really insecure in their relationship.
“Truthfully, she’s out of my league now. She always was, but it’s very apparent now. And it just makes me worried,” he explained.
“I showed a picture of us to a coworker, and even he thought I was joking when I said she was my girlfriend.”
Even in front of him, other guys look at his girlfriend and say things about her appearance– regardless of if she is just wearing normal clothes. Just the other day, for instance, some random man yelled that his girlfriend was beautiful out of the blue while she was wearing just sweats.
“Somehow, that’s more annoying than a [blunt] remark,” he vented.
He and his girlfriend have gotten into an argument about this before, too, and he got pretty upset. He feels like his girlfriend wants other guys’ attention since she gets excited when other men say things to her.
His girlfriend claims that simply is not the case, though. Instead, she pointed out how she was simply never complimented in the past because she was “ugly.” But now, the newfound attention makes her feel good.
Regardless, it appears that his feelings about his girlfriend’s “glow-up” are not going anywhere soon. So now, he feels like their relationship will just end at some point, and his girlfriend will ultimately find someone better than him.
Is it his girlfriend’s fault that other guys are suddenly showing interest in her? Or is this an insecurity that he has to get over? Should he be happy that his girlfriend feels beautiful and realize that she chose him for a reason? How could he get over these insecurities?
