New member here trying to improve my relationship.

I am in a 3 year LTR with a beautiful girl I always felt is way above my league and I lucked my way into. I struggle with always being afraid she is going to leave me. I displayed a lot of really beta behaviors up until I learned about game 2 weeks ago, done a lot of reading, and started a self improvement journey.

I did not have a normal childhood, I was in prison for 6 years, and I have bad social skills. She is my first girlfriend and I was a virgin before her. I even feel like she only started dating me because she felt sorry for how I was embarassing myself and getting laughed at by when I "opened" her.

For most of our relationship I was possessive and controlling, trying to monopolize all her time and attention, always feeling uneasy and worried about the possibility of losing her. Even though I am trying to change myself now, her family thinks I am dangerous for her and don't want her to bring me around anywhere. And my girl is not invited to many things by her friends and family because of me. So in a way I have ruined her social life. I have been avoiding this for years but now I want to go back and make it right. I am thinking of going with a nice gift to talk to her mother and father, to try to talk it out and end the conflict.

I look for online community of other men with no-nonsense but supportive vibe.

The main thing I ask advice for is how to reconnect with my girlfriend's family so that I can help mend the problems that I caused. But I am also looking for general tips as I go about my self improvement journey and the improvement of my relationship.

Don’t, it’s too forward. You need to launder your reputation and slowly get in their good graces first.

Like make a social media account and post things that make you look like an up standing citizen like volunteering with animals or helping a charity or something.Make a social media account and post things that make you look like an up standing citizen like volunteering with animals or helping a charity or something. Or befriend and help out people they know.

She‘s probably not that out of your league if she stuck around after all this and you haven’t said anything indicating she‘s getting antsy from a lack of value or investment.

What beta behaviors did you display? I’d keep in mind game advice is not necessarily the same as maintaining a relationship advice, some of it can actually hurt a relationship.

Start therapy for your possessiveness and let her tell her family. They want to know that you have changed.
