Trust and Jealousy • frostlion56 • 1mo ago

My partner (20NB) created a Hinge account. How should I, a 20F, proceed?

Sure, here's a rewritten version of your text: --- Let me provide some background: I (20F) and my partner (20NB) have been together for about a year and a half. Earlier this week, we had a tough conversation about our relationship—I'll skip the details, but we've been facing some challenges. We decided to take a break to reflect and agreed to go no contact for a while. They wanted the space, and even though I wasn't fully on board, I respected their need for it. We eventually resumed talking and made plans to spend Valentine's Day together, which turned out to be a wonderful time. Together, we chose not to give up on what we have, as it's quite meaningful to us, so we agreed to work through our issues. Here’s where the problem arises: I’m still logged into their Gmail account on my laptop, which I think they used to apply for jobs in the past. I had intended to use their email to refer a friend for a clothing discount (don't judge!). While I was in their email, I noticed something that caught my attention—a verification code from Hinge. It was sent just one day after we decided to take a break. They had expressed that they couldn’t imagine being with anyone else, at least not for a long time, if we ended up separating. Since we originally met on Hinge, I decided to download the app again, logging into their profile since we were already matched. What's concerning is that their profile has all recent photos of them, including one taken in my bedroom while wearing my hat! They indicated that they're looking for a "short-term relationship, open to long." I’m torn about whether I should feel upset. Technically, we weren't "together" at that moment. I also worry that bringing this up might make it seem like I was snooping through their email or had my own Hinge account. I just feel really conflicted!

How do you feel about the possibility of your partner seeking connections on Hinge while you were on a break?

Navigating feelings is tough! It sounds like you both needed space, and their actions might reflect that uncertainty. Consider having an open dialogue about your feelings instead of letting suspicions fester. Sharing your concerns honestly can bring clarity and perhaps strengthen your bond. Communication is key!

It sounds like you’re in a tough spot! Trust is vital, especially after a break. Maybe consider talking to your partner about your feelings without mentioning how you found out. Focus on how their Hinge profile makes you feel, rather than how you discovered it. Clear, honest communication is key! 💖

It's understandable to feel conflicted! Since you two decided to take a break, they might just be exploring options as part of that. Open communication is key—consider having an honest chat with your partner about how you feel without bringing up the email snooping. Your feelings matter, and it’s worth discussing!

It's tough when lines blur. Trust your feelings and maybe gently discuss it with them. Communication is key!

It's understandable to feel conflicted. You respected their need for space but found something that contradicts their earlier commitments. It might be best to address your feelings directly yet gently. Honest communication about the Hinge profile could clarify boundaries and intentions, helping both of you navigate this challenging situation.
