anyways i called him just now and had a talk with him, asked him if he'd removed her name and he said no bc he hadn't thought of it, but told me he was doing it right away. i explained to him why it bothered me. even if it's just for jokes i told him it makes me sad. bc he's with me so why have another girl's name and a heart in your insta name? or anywhere for that matter.
so we ended up talking a bit more about stuff regarding this. like certain situations that we haven't really talked about and just... our thoughts about everything. he brought up that his ex was very jealous and possessive, which he's told me before, and he told me he doesn't wanna go through that again and especially not with me because he loves me and wants to be with me. i told him i don't want it to be like that either, but certain things make me uncomfortable and upsets me and he should respect that. and the other way around ofc, some things make him upset and i should respect that.
so we got some clarity.
we're seeing each other tomorrow again and then i look forward to just being with him without there being any issues. i feel ok now (i'm still sleep deprived as hell tho so feels like i've downed 15 redbulls at once but)
i've been really fine the last 3 weeks or so. we were at a party 3 weeks ago and i kinda went off the rails a bit with the jealousy but after that it was like... everything just disappeared? i felt so calm and secure with him just out of the blue? but the psycho came back now the other day with all of this shit. so obviously still some issues going on here heh but i hope that after this conversation i'll generally feel calmer. bc we haven't really had a big talk about it like that before
honestly this sounds to me like he might be trying to manipulate you out of your very valid feelings of concern when he's the one acting weird and disrespectful. it's not psycho to be jealous when your bf is doing things that look like he's flirting with other girls?? i'm not saying he's lying because yeah, his ex probably was jealous if he acted like this with her as well. not her fault
my ex used to tell me his previous gf's caused so much drama, and that i needed to stop causing drama or he couldn't be with me anymore and he really didn't want that because he loved me so much and i was his sweet princess etcetc. when the fact was i wasn't causing drama, i was getting upset because he was treating me like shit. the sweet-talking just makes it seem like he's not treating you like crap when he is. your bf rn is implying that he can't be with you if you're too jealous and possessive, like he's kinda blackmailing you to control your own behavior under the threat of breaking up
also the fact that after having a problem/difficult conversations he would pull away and not talk to you & leave you to wonder if y'all are okay, is not good. you should be able to talk to your partner about this stuff! you should be able to ask him if he's mad. that's not bothering him too much, that's normal relationship stuff. and if he's mad he should talk to you and work through it. this relationship is not stable at all if you're constantly wondering where you stand and not getting clear communication
you're not being unreasonable.
exactly.
