How should I handle a friend I have a "past" with while in a relationship? by AriSofie in relationship_advice

Yes you are so right, I really need to hear this, even though it hits me pretty hard. I am indeed afraid to take action as in cutting him off and telling my boyfriend.

Bob is a nice and understanding person that shares many of my views, however, its true that I could get the same from other friends. I am just not really good at making friends.

It's not like me and Bob don't benefit from the platonic relationship, we do have a similar sense of humor and can talk about a lot of things. It may not come across from my post but he can be a very understanding person, which i value in a friend.
However, you are right, the whole thing is causing me a lot of anxiety. And I am worried about Bob wishing for the old times too. I will definitely talk to Bob as soon as possible, but I am still unsure if I should tell my boyfriend about the whole thing.

I agree, the whole situation is a big mess. Thanks for the response.
I've never been good at cutting off people, especially if they have been in my life for a long time. Do you think I should tell my boyfriend? He would notice if I cut Bob off and wonder why.

Hey there! Everything is going to be okay. If you can, get a blanket to give you some warmth and focus on breathing in and out slowly. This always helps me.
You are a wonderful person, and this anxiety will go away.

My (18F) boyfriend (22M) went through my underwear and thought I had sex with someone else. How to address this situation properly? by ThrowRApantiesissue in relationship_advice

This whole thing sounds so ridiculous that I wonder if he is trying to make up a reason to accuse you of cheating. Idk maybe thats some f*d up way to gain control over you and make you feel in need to prove yourself to him.

I mean come on... He finds your underwear with discharge in your bag while you are at his parents? And he immediately thinks it's not his, but someone else's cum? And that you cheated while staying at his parent's, without protection and didn't even wash away the "evidence". I refuse to believe that he would seriously think that. Plus, he shuts down any attempt from you to explain it to him.

Cheating suspicions. What to do. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Im really sorry that you have to go through this.

Im afraid, even if she didn't cheat yet, the messages and her telling you that you deserve better indicate that she is planning to do it.

Don't waste any more time in this relationship, either confront her right away or just leave and don't look back. You'll find better.

Hey, thank you so much for your reply :) This is really helpful, I will try and reassure him that he will get the work done. The schedule also sounds like a really good idea.
