i’d worry less about sounding jealous, and more about whether he cares and takes accountability for the fact that you are reasonably hurt by that slip-up. if he tries to pass it off and put the blame on you for being “jealous,” then that’s a red flag. you’re both adults and should be able to go about this as such. don’t let him get away with making you feel crazy and disregarding your feelings
Oh god I really hope he’s not 😭 but thank you for confirming that it’s fine to check his phone. I always worried that checking each other phones would be a breach of trust but tbh we’re far beyond that point now. I’m going to talk to him later and ask to look through it, hopefully he didn’t already delete anything suspicious if there was anything
That’s the thing, he obviously does care and he knows how hurtful it was. He’s trying to reassure me but hasn’t given me any real explanation of why he said it. It’s not that I think he doesn’t care about me or is purposely trying to lie to me I think there’s just a lot of miscommunication and misunderstood feelings between us right now. He’s not disregarding me necessarily
Right?!? I have never thought about another guy like that the entire time we’ve been together, and now I can’t even imagine how many times he must have been thinking about her while we were together and I just didn’t know. I’m praying to god this was just an innocent slip up but it’s really hard to believe it could be just that
maybe he honestly is as confused as you are, probably really embarrassed too, and doesn’t know how to process it. guys aren’t really always great at that sort of thing 🤷♀️ they also usually don’t tend to process breakups as well as we do, so while he probably isn’t still interested in her or anything, it might have just been some weird unprocessed thing slipping up and again, he probably doesn’t know why or what to think about it
If that’s the case I wish he would just be honest about that. I’m not trying to make him sound like a bad guy or anything because I don’t think he is, but after all this time together I would hope that if he’s confused about his feelings or his past relationship, he would be comfortable enough to talk about it with me. I’m not asking him to bend over backwards to make it up to me. I just want him to talk to me about it. Whatever happens happens, but I think I deserve to know his thoughts
