Dating Advised Videos While in a Serious Relationship

So he's trying to be better for you, and you complain? Men just can't win.

Would you prefer he dress like a slob, never pay attention to you, etc?

Guy here. I watch these and read other forums as CONSTANT reminders of how things work with dating today in 2019 so as not to f things up. If I do not have these constant reminders, I can too easily revert back to my old ways which I learned from Disney and romantic movies -- which is not how dating works today. It's like going to the gym for me. I lose it if I don't continually work my muscles to NEVER return to these old ways.

PP here. And I'm doing this stuff in order to keep my current relationship alive. He's doing the same thing. Trying not to f things up with you.

If anyone ever looked at my Youtube list, they would be very confused. The rabbitole is real!

I don't think this means anything OP. So he watches corny dating advice videos, who cares.

Do you read similar topics on DCUMD? I do. It means NOTHING.

Lol, get him a subscription to Cosmo for the articles.

It sounds like he got sloppy and now you have his receipts.

It is up to you what you do w/them.

I personally would be offended as well as suspicious.
I find it perplexing that he is so open about it.
Like he is not trying to hide anything.

What’s his relationship history prior to you?

Also — was this one browsing session/rabbit hole or was he repeatedly viewing these videos over a period of time (months or weeks)?

I find it a bit odd that a 56 year old man in a relationship is watching these dumb videos, but I agree with PPs that the YouTube rabbit hole is real and would be embarrassed if anyone looked at my browser history. Because I’m a closet weirdo. But so are a lot of people.

My first thought was that it shouldn't be a big deal, but now I'm thinking: how come he's not watching "how to propose" videos?
