Do you think my boyfriend's ex is messing with me?

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone! So, my boyfriend and I have been dating for two years now. He used to have a situationship with a girl on our friend group. I am not close to her, but we are obliged to make small talk with each other since our friend circle is the same. I don't hold a grudge against her, but something a friend of mine pointed out really confused me.

My friend asked me if my boyfriend's ex and I follow each other on social media. I told her that we do follow each other, and that she even likes the stories of me and my boyfriend. Later on, me an my friend realised that the ex only likes my stories if my boyfriend is in them. My friend told me that it was odd, but I do not know how to feel. Do you think I should be concerned about this?

Ughh girl, that does sound a little sus. Like why is she only liking the pics with your man specifically? No one follows their ex that closely unless they're still feelin some type of way, ya know?

I wouldn't say you should be worried necessarily, but I would definitely keep an eye on the situation. Some things to look out for - does she try chatting him up if they're ever alone together? Does she give you side eyes or little digs when y'all are in a group? Pay attention to their interaction level.

Also, you could try having a casual chat with your boyfriend about it. See how he reacts when you mention she's watching your stories. His response will say a lot. If he gets defensive, it's a red flag.

Trust your gut feelings - if something ever feels off, don't ignore it! But no need to stress yet either. As long as he's still treating you right, I wouldn't confront her directly yet. Just keep it cute and keep them at arm's length. You've got this girl! Let me know if you notice anything else sus though.

Yes, I think so. I wouldn't follow or accept a request from my boyfriend's ex, but maybe that's just me.

Sometimes being too friendly comes with consequences. Once you feel uncomfortable, feel free to unfollow that person.

Never get involved with anyone that's had a "situationship". Giant 🚩
