Am I overreacting? How would you feel?

My boyfriend told me his female friend was going through something mentally and wanted to speak with him. Originally he told me this would happen outside of their job that they both work at (same place, but different buildings so they don’t see each other daily) but she apparently wasn’t working and asked him to come to her apartment after work. I felt uncomfortable with it but he assured me multiple times that it was just to support a friend mentally and that he wouldn’t go inside, that they would speak outside. Well, after he got there he left his phone in the car and went inside for over an hour talking to her. He confirmed this afterwards. I was crying and obviously hurt because at the very least you could have communicated but to leave your phone in the car? I’m 30 weeks pregnant and so hormonal, I tried to be trusting of this situation but I’m so hurt that he broke my trust. Even if nothing happened and they just spoke, he lied to me about not going inside and then left his phone in the car. I’m so hurt and when I tried to express to him how he broke my trust, he got upset and called me a bitch and started saying all of this hurtful stuff.

Yeah I hate to break it to you but he cheated and he thinks being partially honest will let him skate by and for him to not take accountability and call you names shows guiltiness

You are more important than his female friend being 30 weeks pregnant with his child and his partner. He should’ve considered your feelings more over her mental wellbeing. He’s not responsible for her. By all means be a friend to someone who needs help but there is no reason at all he should be alone with her in her apartment while you’re sat at home on your own unable to contact him. The fact that he’s being rude and disrespectful is a VERY big red flag amongst everything else.

Ask to see their messages and if he says no he’s hiding something simple as

Yeah for him to get mad and call u out your name just means he was lying n tired of u questioning him ..men are assholes

Have you seen them together? How they act around each other? I have been jealous of a girl my husband sometimes talk to but they know each other since childhood. I don't know much of a backstory of them but I've seen them together and I know my husband isn't into her that way. Maybe that's the case for you too and he genuinely forgot his phone in the car. But I'm not gonna lie. I do think he is not being honest. And him calling you names and getting angry is just to flip it over so you'd question yourself. 😞

@Dezarae yea he gets angry a lot

@Karolina I’ve never met her, but I’ve seen the way they interact over text. She’s older than him and I don’t think that there’s anything going on there. At least I hope not. I always get confused with how I’m feeling though because he gets angry and will say horrible things to me or about me, and I always end up forgiving him

@Hannah i agree, i don’t have any issues with him being supportive to a friend. it’s the lack of communication and leaving his phone in the car while he went inside that hurt me the most and then him getting angry with me crying and being hurt rather than him being understanding. I want to believe that he loves and cares about me but I feel like he always says the opposite with his actions

Sorry you had to deal with that. You’re not overreacting at all. Why did it have to be at her place it could have been at a coffee shop or somewhere with other people in the area. And for you to trust him and if you don’t know her he sure should have make you more comfortable of the situation. If I was him I would have called you on the phone saying sorry I went inside and forgot my phone in my car. His reaction make it seem like he is hiding something. But I pray nothing happened.

@Audrea i said the same thing, she has a boyfriend and he claimed that she was going through something mentally so they talked for like an hour and then he dropped her off at her boyfriend’s house. i don’t know what to think and i don’t think anything happened, but the lack of communication and then getting angry after is what has me so hurt

@Audrea i don’t have a lot of close friends that I feel comfortable talking about my relationship with but I told him that i know i’m not the only woman or person in general who would feel hurt by this, and he just says “how would you know, you don’t even have any friends”

You should’ve asked to check him and smell him it’s sounds crazy but it’s an easy way to tell if he was sexually active but I think you already are aware he cheated especially if he got so riled up as to call you out of your name knowing you’re pregnant this is why I have a no female friends boundary in my relationship because I genuinely don’t trust it I’d rather people see me as controlling than someone play with my trust.

Wow that sounds very sus

That’s called manipulation. He’s mentally & emotionally abusing you while pregnant. You’re better off removing yourself, he’s selfish & doesn’t have your best interest at heart

@Hya this!! I have that rule too. I didn't at first with my fiance but because of how he treats me vs other women I do have that boundary now. He breaks it all the time and I'm stupid to stay honestly. But yeah. I don't trust other women and sure as hell don't trust men to be faithful.

@Kelly Mae yea my man was friends with this chick before we met and when we got together I shut that down quick and let him know it was respect that or I’m out. He doesn’t even speak to women anymore now cause he knows better but honestly if your fiancé is treating other women differently than you to the point where you had to set these boundaries that’s concerning I hope things change or work out don’t allow him to walk over you girly remember we are the prize and if you see that he’s hiding “female friends” from you or ignoring your boundaries you need to put your foot down.

Calling you a bitxh and all the things to make you feel like you were the one at fault. So typical, you would end up forgiving him because now you think you’re a btch and you’re selfish for only thinking about yourself and not of that other girl that’s going through something and only needs your bf to console her… He’s cheating on you, I’m sorry.

As my husband says, "A shoulder to cry on, is a dick to ride on." Words could never be more true. Idk your man but I'm gonna guess there's a 95% chance he cheated. I think you're being too nice telling him it's okay to console her. She can find other friends or family to talk to. That is highly inappropriate.

Him calling you a that after and being hurtful screams guilty conscience😞 you are pregnant and he is more bothered about another woman’s mental state than yours? I’m sorry but that is awful. Do not apologise and do not feel like you have done something wrong because you have not. He needs to come round, stand your ground. I’m sorry you are going through this but remember it’s not good for you or baby so keep your head up
