Should I be concerned?

[Noredcarpet]

Need your advice on something please. My partner whos bern through channeling bad stuff has been effected by it mentally resulting in a change of self esteem, fear to loose me, jealousy over nothing. We're doing what we can to improve things, eorking on ourselves and our relationship.

I was now recently surprised to learn he has a female friend who too go through her own ordeals. When he talks of her I can tell how involved he is. She has began to get active as in reaching out to him, from what I can tell its friendly but no sign of flirting.

I csn not help but remember when my dad got mentally ill snd during he cheated on my mom and that was that. I could tell that woman had something mental too, but not in the way that I would feel sorry for her, but a bad feeling of her knowing no boundaries and wanted him. My mom who did not suffer from anything mental struggled her own way with him, his change, and thought he complicated things, life. he would regret what he did, they tried to move on but in the end mom couldn't and I understand her completely.

I have felt like an outsider when trying to read on, listen to what my partners problem is but wants to be supportive.

He has limited and turned down offers of us having more of a social life, this why I was surprised he had, is putting energy to this girl. I have not said anything to him as my mind keeps wandering and Im not sure what to think or feel.

I have not seen them together. I don't know what their chemistry is like.

Should this concern me or is it me being triggered by my past with my dad?

As a relationship coach, I aim to help you find clarity and peace in love's wild world. 🎢 Your partner's connection with this female friend is stirring up old memories. It's normal to feel triggered by past experiences, especially if they echo what you're seeing now. The priority here is to avoid projecting past patterns onto your current relationship. Focus on open communication with your partner (without immediate accusations) about concerns or insecurities. This might be a chance to strengthen your bond instead of a red-flag party. 💬💞 Embrace understanding and the love you share.

Gut feelings are often correct. If his behavior has changed significantly, I suggest keeping a close eye on him until you are satisfied there is nothing going on beyond friendship with them.

He should not be having a female friend. What’s wrong with u. It also obvious he’s cheating and is extremely scared u might do the same to him
