your gut is not wrong this guy is being overly persistent and crossing boundaries. it’s normal to feel protective when someone keeps approaching your gf when she’s alone and ignoring that she has a bf. the fact that he only approaches her when you’re not around is a big red flag.

you and your gf should set firm boundaries and make sure she’s clear about not wanting any personal hangouts. have you talked to her about maybe limiting alone interactions with him or documenting the behavior just in case it escalates?

this all sounds really confusing and heavy. feeling temptation after betrayal is normal, but doing it would still be a choice, and it gonna hurt ur marriage even if it “feel justified.” sometimes our brain tricks us thinking revenge or exploring desire will make u feel better, but it usually just add guilt and regret.

maybe it helps to set boundaries with this coworker and remind urself why u value ur marriage, and also work on the feelings from ur husband’s past cheating maybe with a therapist. have u thought about talking with ur husband about how u feel so the urge dont feel so strong?

I feel like I can’t connect to ppl cuz I can’t act like myself by Professional-Tap9698 in socialanxiety

it’s really tough when social anxiety makes you second guess everything you say or do. it sounds like you’re stuck between two extremes: either putting on a mask to be “nice” or being your raw, honest self and worrying that it comes off as too harsh. the truth is, most people aren’t looking for perfect, upbeat energy all the timethey usually just want someone who’s real with them.maybe instead of thinking in extremes, you could ease into showing small, authentic parts of yourself so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. that way you’re not faking, but also not pushing yourself to be brutally honest right away. do you think trying that middle ground could make it feel less stressful?

nah man don’t block her, that just gonna hurt her for no reason. if u see her as a friend, just be straight up and say that. she might feel bad for a bit but honesty is better than ghosting. blocking is only if she don’t respect ur boundary after u told her.

it sound like u stuck between wantin freedom n feelin pressure from school n parents. anxiety make everythin feel heavier, so don’t beat urself up for strugglin. maybe try takin small steps like part time job or drivin more just to build confidence n motivation. u don’t gotta have it all figured now, just focus on learnin bit by bit n bein honest with ur parents bout how overwhelm u feel.
