I don't know how to feel? Am I overthinking?

I don't know how to feel?

Me F23 and my boyfriend M24, have been together for 2 months, been talking for 4 months before we got together we were a situationship. Anyways, Tuesday night he told me that sometimes he'd swipe up on girls stories and he'd lightly flirt (by calling them beautiful or something of that sort) but then he'd automatically block them because he doesn't want to disrespect me and our relationship. He doesn't want to ruin what we have. I don't know how to feel about it, like should I be grateful that he doesn't let himself give in? But at the same time he still swipes up and says something. I don't know i guess im feeling uncomfortable about it, but like at the same time im glad he's being honest and telling me. Im just not sure how to process this or like what do I do about it? Leave it alone? I want to ask questions but I feel like thats only going to hurt me, and I would've done it when he told me about it but I was still getting it through my head but like I don't know it puts me in my head and kind of breaks my heart but like at the same time I feel stupid for letting something like this hurt me, I don't know.

You have every right to feel hurt , what your boyfriend is doing behind your back is disrespectful to you and the relationship period , if he truly loved and cared about you , he would t even be messaging these other girls’ period , just because he is being honest about it , does t mean you have to accept his behavior period. I can’t tell you what to do. , but if a girlfriend was doing that to me , she would t be my girlfriend anymore , she can shove her honesty up her ass because that’s clearly disrespectful and definitely a red flag that you should t overlook , so you have every right to feel hurt and you have every right to dump his selfish ass. A guy that truly loves you and values the relationship with you isn’t going to do shit like that period , it’s one thing to look but leaving messages to them, is cheating , he is clearly cheating on you and not considering your feelings whatsoever, zGood luck if you choose to stay with that selfish prick

Well sounds like he is Insecure. If he likes other girls and then is telling you, that also sounds like He is Testing you, to see how easy is to give up on him or not, i suggest you cut ties as soon as possible as you might regret it later... You might ask why? Is because he will "get used to this game" and will become more confident, and from an "innocent flirting" to a Full On Cheating is just a small step, and when that happens there is no turning back, is just a matter of time until one of them girls Will Give It Up for him, and then what Will You Do? I'll tell you, you'll start crying after him, and he wouldn't even care, as he can Now See his potential...🤷‍♂️, but at the end of the day, You will choose how it goes...

I mean he says he blocks them though

[DannyUk2017]

That doesn't mean anything... He SHOULDN'T like or give attention in the first Place, all His attention should be Focused on YOU! What is doing is called "Action & Re-Action"... but as i said... You do You, you know how you feel and the "reins" are On Your hands...

Hmm, it could be something called salami tactic. You can't sell entire and expensive Salami sausage to someone. So you cut the Salami in thin slices and sell it slice for slice until you sell entire sausage.
In this case I guess his goal is you have to accept open relationship. So he tells you he talks with other girls online, in moths he tells you he meets some of them but he will stop if it hurts you, then in 4 months he demands you have to respect his red lines and demanding monogamy is such red line... It's practically slowly but steady pressure on you to accept his demands and getting accustomed with this situation.
Maybe I'm wrong because you talk too much about your feelings in your comment which don't matter for correct estimation of situation you're currently in.

As the flirtatious relationship coach on GAG, here's my take on your heart-fluttering dilemma! 💫 First, kudos to him for being honest. Communication is like the bread and butter of a healthy relationship. 🍞 However, feeling uneasy is understandable. It's all about boundaries, darling! If light flirting crosses yours, it's worth chatting about. Don't feel silly for your feelings – you're navigating the love waters 🌊. Maybe a heart-to-heart about respecting your boundaries could do wonders! Keep the vibes open and see if he can add a dash of loyalty to his romantic recipe. ❤️
