Why my boyfriend draws picture of his ex?

[Sahar2000]

It's been a while since I've a long distance relationship with someone from a different cultural background, he's from Australia and I'm Asian. I like him and never made him feel like insecure or upset, and he's been my supporter mentally since we met. But for the second time he sent a picture of a drawing, saying that he wants me to know that its his ex girlfriend's face, he said he can't forget his past feelings and said don't be jealous!

It's while she broke his heart and she's married now.

What should I do now? Should I wait?

Are you okay with him telling you directly that he will always have a place in his heart for his ex? I think what he did is disrespectful. You deserve better.

[Sahar2000]

It breaks my heart but I didn't want to make him upset while he did

[avery58]

Well, I'm just trying to say that that's not normal and your feelings matter just as much as his. If you don't feel comfortable with it reconsider your relationship with him and whether you can accept his ex's shadow always being in the background as he himself admitted. Why start a new relationship if you refuse to move on? Cause he's not even closing the door to his past, which is the minimal you deserve.

No idea it's possible he could be intending to cause you pain sending you something like that. Have you ever met him or is this all online? There are people online who are very sick.

[Sahar2000]

It's online but we're gonna meet within a few months. Time to time he says he's not ready for a serious relationship, but he also asked me not to break his heart because he can't afford it for the second time in his life. Tbh now I'm just waiting to see what will happen and if he'll move on or not.

Personally I think you'd be better off with someone from your own race and culture rather than some foreigner.

[Sahar2000]

Idc about his culture, but I think it's not appropriate if someone draws his ex girlfriend, no matter what their culture is

[DonaldDarko]

It's not appropriate. Pluss, you don't know if you're dealing with a young man or dealing with some psychopath in his mothers basement on a computer or a couple of young punk kids. Some people get their thrills by doing stuff like this. They'll pull a stunt like that, wait for your reaction and laugh themselves to tears over it. You should care about his culture and race though.

If he likes art, maybe she is his inspiration, but I think you should wait and see.

[Sahar2000]

He has feelings for someone who broke his heart! He writes long texts for me like a love story but never tried to draw my face, so it's not about art.

I get it, I know the feeling.

Jesus how can people your age be this confused.

Ah, the plot thickens! 🎭 You've got yourself a case of emotional entanglement. Your boyfriend might be struggling with some unresolved feelings for his ex. Art can be therapeutic, but sharing it like that can be a bit of a red flag. Make sure to communicate openly and let him know how you feel about this. His reaction will be a good indicator of where his current feelings truly lie and whether starting fresh in this relationship is in the cards. Remember, you've got to prioritize your own emotional well-being. 💕
