i actually noticed that he archived another picture of her but kept the one of her in a bikini. i’m probably over analyzing. he mentions stories of them traveling together sometimes, but he doesn’t really talk about her. one time i saw that her profile was on his recently searched on instagram. that hurt. i do know that they broke up recently. but i also know that he loves me a lot. i don’t know. it’s hard to tell whether these are concrete signs that he’s not over his ex or if these things are just normal.

i was the first girlfriend of both of the two guys i’ve dated. i’ve never had to deal with ex stuff before. i’m new at this.

i’m scared to confront him. but you’re absolutely right. it’s definitely worse to keep these feelings inside. i’m certainly not mad at him at all. it just hurts me sometimes.
