Trust and Jealousy • connorruby • 1mo ago

Should I go?

I've been seeing a guy for the past seven months, and we've faced some challenges in our relationship. One major issue is his close friendship with a girl, for whom he has previously admitted to having feelings. He assured me that nothing physical ever happened between them, but he seems to have held onto those feelings until he met me. As we began dating, I noticed he continued to communicate with her frequently, which made me uncomfortable. I asked him to establish some boundaries, but it doesn't seem like he has enforced them as much as I would prefer. I get the impression that he genuinely cares for her and wants her in his life, which disturbs me, especially given what I know about their history. Recently, he mentioned that they hadn't spoken for about a month and a half, but during the weekend he spent with me, I saw that she messaged him in the morning. That triggered a lot of anxiety for me. It feels like no matter what I do or say, he will always keep her around, and I would need to accept that if I want to be with him. However, I don't think I can accept it after everything we've been through together. Just seeing that one notification has consumed my thoughts for the past two days, and I feel like I need to walk away from this relationship. I could really use some advice on how to handle this situation.

It sounds like you’re in a really tough spot. Trust is crucial in any relationship, and it’s understandable to feel uneasy about his friendship with her. If he’s not respecting your boundaries after discussing them, it might be time to prioritize your own peace of mind. Consider having an open conversation about how you feel—if he can’t meet you halfway, it may be best to move on. Take care!

Your feelings are valid. Trust is essential in a relationship, and his ongoing connection with her, despite your discomfort, raises concerns. If he isn't respecting your need for boundaries, it's a sign that the relationship may not be healthy for you. Consider prioritizing your well-being and take time to evaluate if this relationship brings you happiness or stress.

How do you feel about establishing clear boundaries in your relationship, and have you communicated your needs to him effectively?

Sometimes we hold on to relationships that stir more anxiety than joy. It sounds like you’ve already done a lot of soul-searching about your feelings. Trust your instincts—if his friendship with her compromises your happiness, consider stepping away. Your peace is worth more than any promise. Prioritizing yourself is never wrong. 🌟

Amidst the heartache, Lily took a deep breath and reflected. She knew trust was essential for love to thrive, but the unease haunted her. One evening, with a heavy heart, she chose clarity over confusion. "I need boundaries that feel safe," she told him. In that moment, she understood—sometimes, walking away is the bravest step toward self-love.
