Search Results: jealousy in relationship

I wouldn’t snoop through my boyfriend’s phone without his permission. But I honestly feel like I can’t believe what he says because he’s lied to me and broke my trust. He’s recently started talking to a girl he slept with while were on a break, she doesn’t even qualify as an ex. He never wanted to date her and he made that clear. Yet she wanted a relationship with him and was very childish when she found out we were getting back together. I don’t mind if they’re just civil friends, but it does make me uncomfortable to think of them being too close and I don’t believe that’s just jealousy and insecurity talking. I believe if he’s in a committed relationship with me, there should be boundaries between them.

I asked him some time ago if they were talking again, and he lied to me. Then a week later I brought it up saying how uncomfortable it made me felt, and that’s when he decided to tell me. I was hurt. I have been cheated on before, and my ex used text to cheat. So I do have trust issues, but at the same time my current boyfriend is displaying the same behavior my ex did when he started cheating on me and I just can’t ignore it.

I asked if he could show me the texts to clarify there’s nothing going on, and he told me it was an invasion of privacy. But he broke my trust and our relationship is on the fence now. So he told me he’d think about it. I’m so confused, if he has nothing to hide then why would he not want to just show me and things could get back on track. But if he chooses to keep hiding things from me then obviously this relationship isn’t going anywhere.

So is it really controlling of me to ask for the texts? If so, what are some other options for us to work through this?

I’m 20, & I have an older Brother who is 26 we both have different fathers and since them my mom has remarried. my brother does not keep in contact with his father but I grew up a daddy‘s girl so my father & I’s relationship is very close.

When my brother speaks bad about his father my mom laughs.. but I got a quote tattooed on me that says “I carry your heart with me” because it reminds me of my father. he is in prison and I have not seen him since I was 7.. and when my mom saw it she said “she needs a tattoo that reminds me of her as well”..

My moms new husband is not a good provider, and can't keep a nice paying job.. and convinced her to put the last of their money into a towing business that put them thousands of $$$ in debt.
Recently I started seeing a guy who is 33 and when I tell my mom about how he takes me shopping, treats me well, sends me money for my books etc she will say things like “ That’s good, I’m glad you found someone like that, I wish I would have been smarter about the men I dated when I was younger, I wish I would could do those things but it’s all good, I’m happy“
I’m a bio Major and I don’t work.. so I rely heavily on my Student refund checks.. but my mom AND stepdad asks me for money EVERY WEEK.. even my older brother sometimes.. he dropped out of a school, I am going to school to be a doctor because I want to live a comfortable life.. I don’t want to struggle like them..

I noticed that she never asks my brother for money and if I say no I feel bad. My brother lives with my mom and stepdad while I am in college.. and she calls me crying asking for money for help with THEIR rent.. because my stepdad is inconsistent with his income, she pays mostly everything by herself and my brother does not help.. I feel bad for her, but I Also feel like it is not my job to make sure that she is not struggling and has what she needs. Do you think this is a case of jealousy or something else?

I’ve been working for months to get the attention of this guy “C”. Like we were friendly but I’ve been wanting him to flirt and admit he likes me too. This week he finally confesses that he does like me but is trying to fight it off due to distance. Next thing you, know 4 other dudes pop up the day after. Like what are the chances and right before the new year. I brushed off the majority because they consisted of major dealbreakers. But i met this guy “K” who is literally another C but noticed me romantically immediately. The connection was nearly 10 times stronger and he's closer in distance. But i like that C and I worked up a friendship first. Its something I needed to do in past relationships that I did not. K told me to get to know them both but I know C would be totally against this because he’s already showing signs of jealousy when it comes to other men approaching me. Do I get to know K in secret or do i tell C? Plus K just got out of a relationship and claims he's not rebounding. I somewhat believe he isn't because neither was i. But I dont know what to do because I dont want to go into 2020 in another love triangle

Been sitting here wondering if I'm being too much of a prude and overthinking stuff. Normally I wouldn't even consider flings, one nights, etc. or even consider a guy I don't know too well; we know of each other but don't quite know each other. But am quite attracted to the guy, it's obvious he's into me, and well to quote a lot of people if everyone's into it well it's just a bit of fun. His reputation as a whole is so, so as some people say he's grand, others' won't quit referring to him as an ass, and a few other things that may just be jealousy speaking. Therein's my issue. I've got a dang good reputation around here and can just see if whatever be it a fling, friends with benefits, more than such, etc. got out people going wtf is/was she doing with him.
