Relationship Stress / by itsme003

...See more Hi, thank you to anyone who decides to read this and reply with advice, I really appreciate it. I (27f) have been with my partner (27m) for almost 2 years now. He’s a great man in a lot of ways and a great partner. He’s never given me a reason to feel like he’s unhappy, unsatisfied in our relationship or cheated. I really have no big complaints about him or our relationship. The only consistent complaint that I do have is that I think he’s checks out other woman. He doesn’t stare at other woman but to me I think he does choose to glance over at other woman if they’re attractive enough. It’s something I’ve expressed to him several times that I don’t like but he says he’s just looking around and observing his environment. It’s hard for me to believe him because I know how men can be (I know this a bad mindset to have) but I just feel like I’ve caught him do it several times. At the same time, I am aware people are just constantly looking around too bc I do that myself and he really is an observant person. The things he causally observes leaves me surprised sometimes. i also struggle with insecurity. I honestly can admit this and I also feel like maybe that’s why I think he’s looking at other woman. At the same time, i think I constantly try to see if I catch him trying to check out other woman because I believe it so much. I also understand we’re humans and we’re going to find other people attractive, it’s human nature. I’ve noticed other men before but to me it’s different because I don’t think I go out my way to check people out like him. I have a bad habit of blowing up on him and breaking up with him just to eventually change my mind and take him back. I know this is a bad habit to have and I really am trying to fix it but it’s currently a working progress. I don’t know if all of this is in my head or if he’s really choosing to do this. I find checking other people out in front of your significant other very disrespectful and I do not want to tolerate any type of disrespect. I honestly don’t know what I should do. I love him and deep down I don’t want to break up with him. We tell each other we want to be each others life partner and I know that comes with a lot of forgiveness but at the same time I don’t want to be taken advantage of or taken for a fool. If anyone can share any piece of advice I’ll be so happy. I just don’t know what to do or thing.
