Her Boyfriend Developed Feelings For Another Girl, But He Won’t Tell Her Who It Is
A 24-year-old woman has a boyfriend the same age as her, and she’s been seeing him for quite a long time; 7 years.
They live more than an hour apart from one another, and that’s always put a strain on being able to spend time together.
She has to take a ferry to get to her boyfriend when she is home, but she’s spent the last 5 years studying abroad in other countries.
Although she’s gotten home to see her boyfriend throughout her 5 years abroad, their relationship has been largely long-distance.
2 years ago, things with her boyfriend got difficult when one of her male classmates professed feelings for her.
She was friends with this classmate and although she thought he was definitely cute, she reminded him that she did have a boyfriend back home and they couldn’t be more than friends.
“I realized I had feelings for the classmate and told my boyfriend about it after he asked (since we had gotten a bit distant),” she explained.
“My boyfriend admitted that he too had developed feelings for someone else during our long-distance relationship (which was news to me, but I didn’t prod at the time).”
“He had a lot of questions and I answered at length about my feelings and how my classmate made me feel, my boyfriend asked things like his height, build, etc., and what we talked about as well as what he did differently.”

When the pandemic hit, she was forced to move back home, and she and her boyfriend thought that was their chance to revive their relationship.
“…It was great and I mostly forgot about my boyfriend admitting to having feelings for someone else, but every now and then it would nag at me and I figured one day I would ask,” she said.
Currently, she’s back in another country completing her master’s degree, and she thought now would be the best time to ask her boyfriend about those feelings he had for another girl, as their relationship has been solid lately.
She thought it was “only fair” for her boyfriend to spill the beans on this, but he declined to give her the answers she was looking for.
Her boyfriend then shut down, and he’s not talking to her after that phone conversation. It’s causing her a lot of stress that her boyfriend won’t admit who he has feelings for.
She’s never had a reason to believe that her boyfriend was anything but committed to their relationship, though she’s beginning to question if things went further between him and this other girl he developed feelings for.
“We’ve been discussing marriage and him moving to live with me wherever I settle, he’s my best friend and I don’t want to lose him but I need to know,” she continued.
She’s conflicted; should she keep pressing him for answers, or leave this topic alone?
