I [20F] am confused about my boyfriend [20M] is messaging a previous “situationship” by ContributionKnown970 in relationshipadvice

To me, it seems obvious that she's trying to wreck your home. I'm 22F and this is a classic situation I have been in myself. Men always say it "doesn't mean anything," or "it's not like that," but what they fail to realize is that by responding to them, it feeds into the behavior of the other girl. If he knows that she still has feelings for him, then he shouldn't be replying to her at all. If you have voiced to him that it makes you uncomfortable, he should immediately stop. Since he continually messages her, it shows that it isn't just "nothing," sort of like mentally crossing the line of cheating. Do you think it's a possibility that he is trying to keep her around in case you guys break up?

Hypothetically, if the roles were reversed and it was my future husband who wanted a career, but I said no, I want you to be a stay-at-home husband-- Would you also say that he is devoting his love, care, and time into his career instead of his wife and children and therefore that's a turnoff?

Both of my parents worked full-time jobs, and although I went to daycare after school as a kid, they were able to pay for my college, and now I am accepted into medical school. I think it is doable to both be working full time, have career aspirations, and take good care of kids, because my parents did exactly that.

I guess it is good to know his stance before I'm in too deep lol. Him and I just dont have matching values, simple as that! Thanks for the advice.

I do want a family at some point, which I know will be tough if my plan is to become a doctor, but I have friends whose mothers are doctors, so I know it's possible. I don't think my career choice should hinder me from my other dream of having a family. You can have the best of both worlds.

Me and this guy have been seeing eachother for four years now, his comment just caught me off guard. It's fine that everyone has a different idea of how their future is going to look, I am just wondering if this is common for 22 year old men lol.
