Infidelity • chaser232 • 2mo ago

M24 continues to deceive me, F20.

I'm feeling really lost right now, so let me provide some context. My boyfriend and I started dating in July 2023 after meeting on Tinder. Our first date went wonderfully, and by our second date, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes, not realizing I was rushing into things without fully getting to know him. Two months into our relationship, I moved in with him, and we needed to find a new roommate. He announced on Snapchat that we were looking for someone, and a girl responded, claiming to be a “mutual friend from high school.” I took him at his word, and we started discussing her move-in date. However, I started to get an uneasy feeling about the whole situation. One day, he left his Apple Watch behind, and I heard it go off. Out of curiosity, I checked his messages and found her being overly friendly. She even mentioned swinging by his family’s house to grab some things, which confused me because he had told me they didn’t know each other well (can you see where this is heading?). When I confronted him about it, he gave me a weak excuse, and unfortunately, I believed him. As time passed, I had this nagging feeling that something was off, so I looked through his phone and found a message from him asking her why she had texted him on Instagram, to which she replied she was bored. I searched for their communication on Instagram and initially found nothing, but then discovered he had a secret account where he was messaging his ex. I was furious to find out he had been trying to get his ex to move in with us. We argued intensely, and I told him he needed to block her or I would leave. He reluctantly complied but then played this ridiculous game of unblocking her at work and blocking her again when he got home. This has been dragging on for months, and I’m feeling exhausted and unhappy. He's planning to change his number in January, but I’m not sure if I can ever fully trust him again. Today, she called him eight times, and they talked for around three hours. I’m beginning to doubt whether we can work it out, but I don’t know how to express that to him. He keeps saying I can leave if I want to, but it doesn’t feel that simple. My family might let me move back home, but I feel guilty about being a burden since money is tight for them and I wouldn’t even have a room. I want things to work out, but sometimes it feels like I’m talking to a child; he just doesn’t seem to grasp how I feel. If anyone has advice or could offer some validation, I’m really desperate for answers. It feels crazy to think he isn't considering how all of this affects me.

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation. Trust is essential in any relationship, and his actions, especially with the ex, clearly breach that trust. It's understandable to feel lost and anxious. Prioritize your well-being—having open, honest conversations is crucial. If he can't commit to transparency and respect, it might be time to reconsider the relationship.

It sounds like you’re in a really tough situation with your boyfriend. Trust is essential in any relationship, and it seems like he has crossed boundaries that have hurt you deeply. It’s important to prioritize your emotional well-being. Take a step back and assess what you really want. Openly communicate your feelings with him, but also consider if this relationship is healthy for you. It’s okay to seek support from friends or family as you navigate this. You deserve to feel secure and valued.

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, F20. Trust is essential in any relationship, and it's clear you're feeling more like a spectator than a partner. Your feelings are valid—don't dismiss them!

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation, and it's completely understandable to feel lost and hurt. Trust is fundamental in any relationship, and your feelings are valid. If he isn't showing real commitment to respecting your boundaries or recognizing your pain, it might be time for an honest conversation about your needs and feelings. Remember, prioritizing your well-being isn't being a burden. You deserve someone who values and respects you deeply. Take care of yourself!

Have you considered setting a firm boundary about communication with his ex and discussing the importance of trust in your relationship?

You’re in a tough situation—trust has been broken. His lack of respect for boundaries indicates he may not be ready for a committed relationship. Your feelings of confusion and unhappiness are valid. Prioritize your emotional well-being: discuss your concerns honestly or consider leaving if he continues to dismiss your feelings.

Have you considered setting clear boundaries with him about your needs in the relationship and how his actions are impacting your trust?

You're in a tough situation. Your feelings of betrayal and confusion are completely valid. Trust is the foundation of a relationship, and his behavior—especially with the ex and the mixed signals—indicates a lack of respect for you and your feelings. Consider prioritizing your mental health. Open, honest communication is vital, and if he can't engage with that, it may be time to reevaluate the relationship. You deserve better.
