Oh my god, the older you get the more you’ll need to realize that partners WILL have experiences that they enjoyed with other people in the past, that’s just a part of figuring out who you are and what you like as you develop as a person. Be happy that she’s comfortable enough with herself that she’s able to explore herself and understand what she likes. You need to relax, she didn’t do anything wrong and you should apologize for reacting with a “confrontation” and snooping on her private conversations

No. I did not say that I am not trusting her from now on. She is still my girlfriend and I absolutely trust her. What I am saying is that this incident, even though i dont want it to, is making me question her loyalty towards me. I DONT want to think like this cos i know i can do better

Explain that he was just standing up for you, as he should've. Nobody was going to win that debate right then and there. It was best to just drop it and that's what happened, as far as you and your boyfriend are concerned, you did the right thing.

"sorry if it came across as intimidating, he just felt the debating was getting out of hand and that we needed to change the subject"

It sounds like a beautiful morning still (waking up, cuddling, coffee). It's not her fault you were reading the Passion translation.

You should even be laughing about how she fell asleep on this ONE morning of all mornings. That's ONE morning out of all the shared mornings you've already had and will still have. Don't be dramatic and ruin the day for both of you...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳

Hey man, I think your feelings are completely fair to have in this situation.

When I read this, I can understand how someone can arrive at that conclusion; Trying to build up an impression again. Finding things to connect over:

  • he wanted to know about her favorite places there and some recommendations.
  • talking about how he falls in love with her favorite place there and how he can't wait to get back home so they can talk about it when they meet

So, its okay to feel uneasy about a lot this. Same thoughts would run through my head.

The issue thing is... we don't know if that is the reality.

That is just a theory.

And until we know what's factual, you're going to need more information.

You can be open with your partner and express how you feel. She could provide you with reassurance, and there is a chance she might even see your side too.

I know for myself, I have no desire to maintain an ex friendship because I know the potential metal battle that comes with it. I don't want to force my GF to deal with that mental load. Your GF might see it that way too, who knows.

But anyways... until you have more evidence. You have to stand by this:

>I'm at peace with that fact because I trust my GF and I know she wouldn't cheat on me.

Trust your GF until she gives you a reason not to.

And if you discover that he's making romantic advances, and she doesn't put space as a result... you have your first reason to explore your suspicions.

Yes. I understand that it is absurd. I feel pretty bad about myself for giving this small incident all this attention in the first place. But that is why i posted this. I need advice on how I should normally be thinking about this. Maybe examples can help.
