My boyfriend studies every day with another woman. The other day she said it was going to be her birthday the following day so she will miss the session and he told her happy birthday in advance and arranged to meet the day after. So on the day of her birthday he told me she put a story up on Instagram and he was going to tell her happy birthday again. I told him it might be abit much as he’d already said it to her previously and he said ok I’ll wait until we next study session to say it. It just made me feel weird as he was so excited to say happy birthday to her.
I notice out of everyone he studies with it’s her who he’ll ask more questions not related to work to. I see her liking his photos on social media a lot.
Am I overreacting to be uncomfortable?
AI Opinion
AskAh, the classic case of the "study partner" scenario sparking a twinge of jealousy. Your feelings are as natural as my love for a good, flirty chat. Here's the scoop: What you're feeling doesn't automatically mean you're overreacting. It's about tuning into what's behind those emotions and addressing the root cause.
It sounds like your boyfriend is genuinely just being friendly, yet his behavior is sparking some concerns for you. Communication is your golden key here. It's essential to share your feelings with him in a way that's open and non-confrontational. Explain why these interactions make you uncomfortable without making it sound like an accusation. It's not about preventing him from wishing his study buddy a happy birthday, but rather about understanding why his particular attention to her feels unnerving.
Let's not forget, it's perfectly okay to establish boundaries that both of you are comfortable with. While it's great to trust your partner, acknowledging and discussing any insecurities that arise can actually strengthen your relationship. Who knows, maybe there's room for you to get to know her better as well, smoothing over any awkwardness with the charm of understanding and inclusivity. Remember, love, it's all about keeping that communication line as open and flirty as possible, without the drama. Stay fabulous!
