:( My boyfriend is a lovely guy, but sometimes he says things that make me so insecure.

He used to date this girl a few times, before we started dating and got together. This girl is extremely pretty and she knows it. Yesterday I was buying my boyfriend a ring for his birthday, we entered the store and guess who worked there ? yep, that girl. He said to me ‘WTF, ******* works here! and I was wondering why he could be bothered so much, he didn’t take initiative anymore to go inside there and I only told him ‘yep, I don’t know what to say to you cause of the way you react’. Later that night I was still feeling down about this and asked him why he reacted that way. He said ‘I dont know’. And I told him ‘If you react that way it makes me think you feel bad that she works there and still like her or something’. He said ‘no I said it because I didn’t want you to have to be around her cause she’s an arrogant child’. I don’t know if I believe him cause his reaction was really different than that. I told him that I more often get insecure by things he says. And he said he was sorry and would change his way of putting things. I still feel bad about what happened. I know I’m insecure , but it was a big step for me to tell that his behaviour is often making me feel insecure. I just can’t seem to get over things like this and I’m extremely afraid of this girl cause she’s so pretty and thin and stuff and so intimidating…
Just dont know what to do

He was surprised to see her…. he hasn’t done anything wrong in reacting the way he did… actually he was quite sensitive and realised you might feel awkward. Cut the guy some slack… If he wanted to be with her he would be… she’s his ex!

Thank you for your reply. I’m just very insecure and she’s not actually his ex, they dated a few times. I will try not to be bothered by it, but I cant change my feelings about the way he reacts.

i guess the most important thing is he IS with you now, not with her. sure she’s pretty, but how come she’s part of his past? that tells us that beauty isn’t everything. :)

i’d say.. he seems like a nice gay. try to be less insecure.. well, i know it’s easier than done. but spending a lot of time with an insecure person is oftentimes so draining. you need to watch what you say, or you need to constantly reassure that person. you don’t want your boyfriend to go through that right?:)

best of luck!
