She admitted that she wasn’t proud of her feelings.
“But it’s hard to ignore when he’s made Lily sound almost like some idealized version of what he wants,” she reasoned.
“I get that people have history, but when your partner’s history involves frequent comparisons, it’s tough.”
Once, her boyfriend actually joked about how if he and Lily had stayed together, they probably would’ve tied the knot already. He laughed off the so-called “joke,” but she didn’t find it funny whatsoever.
This, along with the other remarks he’s made, has left her on edge. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, thinks she just needs to trust him.
And she’s genuinely upset that he seems to be prioritizing “nostalgia” for Lily over her emotions as his girlfriend.
“I want him to understand that this isn’t just ‘jealousy’ but a real insecurity that his comments have fed into over time,” she vented.
Still, she’s not sure if she is being unfair here and whether trusting her boyfriend really is the best thing to do.
How would you handle this situation in her shoes? Should her boyfriend care more about making her comfortable than seeing Lily again?
