I don't know if what I did was right or wrong

Post Reply New Topic

I (rightly so) don't think I can trust my boyfriend (we met online) because of things he did in the past (lying about huge things, interest in other girls, and I suspect he was cheating) You may wonder why I've taken him back but I wanted to give him another chance because it has been more than year since I've stopped talking to him and he said a lot of stuff about how he's changed. He said he wanted to be with me forever.

edit: I forgot to mention that the reason we stopped being together was actually because he LEFT me for someone that was uglier than me anyway

Since talking to him again I told him a lot of personal stuff and he seemed uninterested, and I told him each time that I regret telling him even though he kept saying that I can trust him. I don't know why I told him these things when I feel so uncomfortable to tell him

since we've been talking again I don't get the feeling that he's interested in anything I say, which made me feel horrible on the inside so the other day I told him how I was feeling but I didn't tell him why, but finally I did tell him why and he said nothings wrong and he's just busy with school

he keeps going online/offline without talking to me throughout the day which makes me think he's going online to message someone, prioritising them and not me, because he doesn't even read my messages when he does that. But I cant check because I dont have his password and he's bilingual so if even if I did have his password I wouldnt know what theyre talking about

I've lost it right now and blocked him less than an hour ago while I try and get my feelings together. I have this feeling that I've made a mistake taking this person back into my life but I'm not sure

These situations are tricky. Especially if you are just communicating online (do you talk on the phone or in person too?) because it can leave out a lot of context.

It seems like you are in need of someone to confide in, and that may be why you're telling him many personal things in spite of your distrust of him. It may be therapeutic for you too get those things off your chest, even if he seems disinterested.

I see two possibilities regarding his sincerity:
1) He does care, he just doesn't know how to properly convey it.
2) He doesn't care, but for any number of reasons, he keeps you in his life.

It can be hard to have meaningful talks with others, especially as a teen. They may not have the same experiences as you, which can make it hard for them to understand how you feel. They may also be going through their own turmoils that make it hard to focus fully on you.

It may help you to think of how you feel when you interact with him. If most of your talks make you feel bad things like hurt, ignored, or worried, then it could be in your best interest to cut ties.

Based on what you've written, I would drop this guy.

Do you have intense feelings for him, and not for someone else?

He's pretty much acting like a typical teenage boy. Teenage boys are not known for being paragons of faithfulness (though there are some who are faithful).

I hope you didn't take him back merely because "he deserves another shot." There has to be an intense desire to be with him on YOUR part.

Sorry but it sounds like he's treating this as a game. I'd go back to just dating and chat with other people. This doesn't sound like fun, what's the point in having a boyfriend that doesn't respond to the attention that your giving him?

If you are not enjoying this relationship and its causing stress it might be a good juncture to part ways with this fellow.

Since I posted this I realised he had a link to his discord server which I joined and the reason he's been ignoring me is because he's busy thinking about this one girl, and he mistook me for her when I joined. Then he booted me off the server when I told him who I was ''because it's a private server''

^ In that case, you definitely did the right thing. He's not worth your time.

^ Yes an official breakup is always best.

Seeking to prove he is cheating is likely a futile effort at this point. The trust between you is already beyond repair. Proving your belief is unlikely to make you feel any better, and if you found no evidence of cheating, it wouldn't eliminate your suspicion of him. Hacking his accounts, snooping on him, or any other means of 'gathering evidence' in this matter will actually do you now harm in the long run. I say this because it will become something that you will feel inclined to do in future relationships. While it may seem well deserved in this instance, it's not a good way to build a healthy relationship. I'm sure you look forward to one day having a very solid relationship with someone, and in order for that to manifest, you have to demonstrate trust just as much as they have to be trustworthy, and vice versa.

^ Yes you will regret those actions.

I did something similar to the one who cheated on me, felt good at first but not so later on.

I just ended the relationship and told him that I never want us to talk again (not sure if that's true, I just know that I feel uncomfortable every time we talk) He said he wont get over it and that he'll be sad because he formed a connection with me

I regret letting him into my life and I can't take anything I said to him back and I don't trust him with my information but it's too late because he already has it

I wanted things to work out between us which is why I agreed to be with him in the first place so I'm not sure if there's something I can do or say to turn things around and fix everything

I dont know what to do, should I go through with what I said
