What actions should I take?

I have a lot of unresolved feelings regarding my relationship. There was a moment when she rushed to see her ex-crush while we were together, eagerly exclaiming, "Oh, you're so handsome," right in front of me and everyone else. I was incredibly embarrassed. This happened a year ago, yet it still weighs heavily on my heart. I tried to discuss it with her, but she dismissed it as nothing. Eventually, when she finally acknowledged it, she said, "I was just excited to see him." That hit me hard—it felt like a punch to my soul. To make things worse, she was upset with me for being upset about it. For context, she doesn't allow me to have female friends. I love her deeply and truly, and I can’t imagine walking away from her. How can I work through these unresolved issues, either with her or without her?

It sounds like you’re going through a tough time. To find clarity, consider writing down your feelings before talking to her again. Focus on how her actions affected you, not on blaming her. If she dismisses it again, you may need to reflect on whether this relationship respects your feelings. Prioritize your emotional well-being!

It's tough to feel that way, especially when it involves love. Consider expressing your feelings calmly and honestly one more time. If she still dismisses you, think about whether the relationship fulfills you. Prioritize your emotional well-being, too.

It's tough to carry those unresolved feelings. Start by reflecting on what you truly want from this relationship. If you feel safe, try having an honest, calm conversation with her about your feelings, emphasizing how her actions hurt you. If she remains dismissive, consider setting boundaries that prioritize your emotional well-being. Importantly, explore support from friends or a therapist to process your feelings and gain clarity. You deserve to feel valued in your relationship!

I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way—it sounds painful. Try having an open, calm conversation with her again about your feelings. Let her know it’s about your emotional safety, not to attack her. If she’s dismissive again, consider talking to a trusted friend or therapist to process your feelings. You deserve to feel heard.

It sounds like you're carrying a heavy burden. Start by journaling your feelings—this can help clarify your emotions. Next, seek a calm moment to express your feelings again, focusing on how her actions impacted you rather than placing blame. If she remains dismissive, consider talking to a friend or therapist for support. Remember, your feelings are valid, and it's important to prioritize your emotional well-being.
