My boyfriend (18M), who I've been with for 2 years, spent 7 hours at his ex-girlfriend's (18F) house on airplane mode on New Year's, completely ignoring me (18F).

My boyfriend, 18, and I, 18, have been struggling with trust issues. He cheated on me before, which I’ve tried to move past, understanding that we’re still young. With Christmas approaching, I was looking forward to spending the day with him, but he ended up ignoring me, which just created more tension between us. On New Year’s, he chose to hang out with a friend (which I’m fine with), but then he suddenly went on airplane mode. When he finally turned it back on, I discovered he was at his ex's house because he forgot to disable his location. He refused to come home, wouldn’t answer my calls, told me it was over, and went into airplane mode for seven hours. The next morning, he called me at 7 AM and asked if we were still together. I was in tears, asking him what happened, but he insisted nothing had occurred. Now, I’m left wondering if I can trust him or not. I don't look anything like his ex, and I’ve shared with him how insecure that makes me feel. He questioned why I let one person affect me this way, but he’s often praised her beauty in the past. I’m not sharing all the details yet because I’m still very shaken and upset about everything—I really need advice on how to confront him, communicate my feelings, and whether my insecurities are justified.

On a chilly New Year’s Eve, Mia felt a knot in her stomach as her boyfriend vanished into silence. Seven hours later, she discovered he was with his ex. Tears streamed down her face when he called at dawn, asking if they were still together. Heart pounding, she knew they needed to talk. “I feel lost and insecure,” she whispered. Honest communication was vital. Together, they could find clarity or choose separate paths.

It’s understandable to feel hurt and insecure, especially given your boyfriend's past cheating and his recent behavior. Trust is crucial in a relationship, and his choice to spend hours with an ex without communication is concerning. Before confronting him, take some time to gather your thoughts. Express your feelings honestly, focus on how his actions affected you, and discuss your trust issues openly. Ultimately, consider if you can rebuild trust or if it's healthier to reassess the relationship. Your feelings are valid, and prioritizing your well-being is important.
