Trust and Jealousy • bear356 • 5d ago

CIS F20, FTM 23

My transgender boyfriend has been accusing me of cheating for quite some time now, and I find it really strange. He seems to be overly suspicious, especially considering I've had male friends before we started dating and have since been adding random people just to chat. This has happened while he's had access to my passwords, which he requested to feel more secure in our relationship. I don’t think sending casual selfies to someone is wrong, especially since I removed my male friends from my social media. Despite that, he still suspects me. What’s troubling is that he frequently shows me another woman’s profile on social media, claiming they’re just friends, yet when I ask to see their conversations, he dodges the question. Instead, he tells me he planned to confront me about infidelity because he didn't believe anyone who said I wasn’t cheating, even after seeing my messages. This logic doesn't make sense to me. I’ve always reassured him and included him in my conversations, and at the beginning of our relationship, he didn’t accuse me like this. I really don’t appreciate being put in a position where I have to prove my loyalty when he isn’t doing the same for me. It feels wrong, and I think it reflects a lack of trust. If he knew he wouldn’t reciprocate the transparency I offered, I’m confused as to why he waited so long to acknowledge he has another woman on his social media. I feel sad and hurt by his behavior, and it definitely doesn't seem fair. Just because he’s transgender doesn’t mean he’s above cheating, and yet he continues to get mad at me and twist things around when I ask him about it. He’s been unfairly accusatory without providing any proof of his own, and I believe I have every right to feel upset about the whole situation. To make matters worse, he hasn’t given me any of his passwords or shared the same openness I've shown him. Honestly, it feels like a betrayal, and I’m unsure how to navigate this. I need some perspective on what’s happening.

It sounds like you're in a challenging situation. Your boyfriend's accusations may stem from his insecurities or past experiences rather than any real evidence of your unfaithfulness. It's essential for both partners to have trust and open communication in a relationship. Addressing these issues directly and setting clear boundaries may help. If he continues to be mistrustful and doesn’t reciprocate transparency, that imbalance could be damaging to you both. Consider seeking couples counseling if the pattern persists; it might provide clarity and help rebuild trust.

It sounds like you’re in a really tough situation, and it’s understandable to feel hurt and confused. Trust is essential in any relationship, and it seems your boyfriend might be struggling with his own insecurities. His behavior can feel controlling, especially since he isn’t being transparent in return. Try having an open and honest conversation about how his accusations make you feel, emphasizing the need for mutual trust and respect. Remember, both partners deserve to feel secure.
