My bf and I have been together for 8 months. There is one ex gf of his that I dont like. Im calling her Kay. She has sent him three separate messages that left me feeling suspicious of her behavior. She is already in a relationship with a great guy (Ive met) but I think she might be hung up on my bf even though they broke up a long time ago. The first message she sent said merry Christmas. You are like family to me. Im going to take a step back and allow you to be happy- thank you for the gift of friendship. You have practically been the main guy in my life. I assumed and he told me later on that my bf told Kay he was dating me. I met her at a party. After the party- she sent him this message I didnt know how I would feel but if you like her, I like her. My stance on love is *insert bible verse here* you deserve to be happy. love you. That really made my head spin because he never responded to that text. Then - the most recent message (on Valentines day) said Im really glad you are in my life. You are important to me. I dont know what I would do without you. Now - he has reassured me time and time again that he doesnt view her in a romantic way. He has also reassured me several times that the two of them did receive closure and that he was never intending on getting back with her. I dont know if Im in the wrong for staying, if he is in the wrong for staying friends or does she have some hidden motive I need to be aware of?

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out to us at 7Cups!

What a difficult situation you're finding yourself in and it sounds like it's quite unfair on you actually. Have you asked your boyfriend how he would feel if one of your male friends behaved this way? It just seems that you're having to cope with this situation which sounds quite innapropriate too at times and it must unsettle you.

So I wanted you to know that you're heard and many other partners would get unsettled at this too. I think it sounds like you're coping very well with things too. It sounds like perhaps you need to talk to your boyfriend too?

Good job for keeping calm :)
