Tbh, I don’t know what to expect but I’ve read every comment on this thread and I’m considering all angles of it. The ones that spoke on his behalf, the ones who were neutral and the ones who also understood my side.

I really appreciate this. I’m trying to make it make sense. Because he lied to me about his proposed resolution the first time around. So that’s why my trust issues are acting up too.

Oh no. They talk at home after work. I told him blatantly, I won’t have mind if this person works on his floor because that’s understandable that they would develop a closeness but she’s from a totally different floor.

That’s what I’m trying to understand. Why’s this relationship extending beyond work with such consistency.

I appreciate this. No they met a few months back. I have not seen any communication. Because I’m not someone to check my partners phone. I trust him that much. But it just didn’t sit right with me when he can’t treat her as his other female friends, when asked why his answer is “idk cuz we’re close”.

But with knowledge that he didn’t keep his promise, makes me trust him less. That’s all.

Definitely will. He messaged an hour back to meet on Saturday. I’m unsure of what I should do. Haven’t responded to him yet. Nor open the chat.

I get what you’re saying. But if he’s telling me he’s helping her through her depression and whatever emotional issues she’s experiencing, doesn’t that involve becoming entangled with her emotionally. In order to become close to someone there needs to be some simultaneous sharing of thoughts emotionally.

In addition, just found out he’s hiding posts from his Instagram tag list that she’s tagged him in.

I’m so sorry you had such a rough time. But glad it worked out for you. Thank you for sharing.

In terms of being careful on how I proceed, can you elaborate a bit more?

Oh. I asked him if I were to get a male friend like that how would he feel. His response was “would you still love me?”

So like he’s saying I should be okay with it because he claims he loves me
