Hi. So this situation may be unusual idk, and I don’t know if anyone here may have been in my shoes before or just has good advice for me. I’m a very ordinary, normal person with a pretty normal job who has not been treated very well in my past, but 3 months ago I met someone [M/33] I have gradually opened up to and I guess despite me wanting to guard myself I have fallen for him. I thought things were going great and we had been open and honest with each other but a couple of days ago he “confessed” to me that he was kind of known, I guess is how he put it. I wouldn’t say he is famous, it’s hard to explain without giving anything away but he has a “persona” for his craft I guess is how I’d put it and I didn’t have insta/tiktok etc and neither does he but I have googled him since he told me and honestly there are a lot of videos and girls like lusting over him and stuff, I just thought he was a normal person too and I don’t know how to deal with that, especially because of how I was already not the most secure person in the universe. I asked him to give me a bit of space to just think about things and I really miss him, but I don’t know what’s wrong with me I’ve just been glued to stupid videos from stupid people who don’t know him saying stupid and outrageous things about him. I honestly dont know if I am the kind of person who could wave him off on a world tour or whatever knowing he was possibly coming into contact with so many beautiful women. Even apart from that I am successful in my career but not like awards and bags of money successful. Would I be saving myself a lot of heartache just cutting things off now or going forward with this, with all of my insecurities and all of this shit in my head? God I’ve no idea if anyone can relate, I just feel sick and I don’t know what to do.
