This 21-year-old woman has been officially dating her boyfriend, who is also 21, for nearly six months now.
However, they first started seeing each other a full year ago and decided to take things slowly at first. And ever since getting to know her boyfriend better, she has realized that he is a “girl’s guy.”
According to her, he is “borderline awkward” but is still extremely nice and patient with everyone.
“Especially girls, in a platonic way. He has a lot of girl friends from before we met, and we also have a lot of mutual friends who are girls,” she explained.
“I never minded this. I get why other girlies feel safe with him because he’s the type of guy you call up when you feel like you are in danger, alone, or need help.”
She also claimed to trust her boyfriend completely. And even though she is aware that some girls around campus sometimes hit on him, she appreciates the fact that he always tells her about it when he gets home after “politely” rejecting them.
That’s why she seriously doubts that her boyfriend would ever hurt her or cheat on her.
Yet, just two nights ago, one of her 20-year-old female friends still tried to make a pass at her boyfriend.
It all began when she and her boyfriend decided to go out with some friends. And one of the girls in their group, named Kath, was also there.
For context, Kath reportedly knew her boyfriend before they even met. So, the pair went way back and were good friends.
Anyway, while out, the couple and their friends decided to drink. But she didn’t have too much alcohol since she knew she had a pretty low tolerance.
“And I wanted to be sober enough to get my boyfriend and I back home safely after that,” she added.
“So, I was sober all night while most were getting wasted.”
However, at one point during the evening, she had to go to the bathroom with a few of the other girls.
And after they started chatting and gossiping as usual, her friend Kath randomly confessed to having a “huge” crush on her boyfriend.
“Kath even told me, to my face, that she’d love to [hook up] with him if he’d be down to cheat on me,” she revealed. Can you even imagine?
She obviously knew that Kath was seriously drunk. But the fact that her friend said that made her feel sick to her stomach. Afterward, she wound up heading back outside and basically dragged her boyfriend home early with her.
Then, the following morning, she filled him in on what had happened, and he was actually very understanding about why Kath’s comment made her so uncomfortable.
On top of that, her boyfriend even offered to distance himself from Kath. But honestly, the thought of making her boyfriend do that made her feel really bad since she knew he and Kath had known each other for so long.
That’s why she tried to give Kath the benefit of the doubt and opted to give her a call. She planned to just have an open discussion with her friend to clear the air.
However, as soon as they started talking, Kath just denied having any feelings whatsoever for her boyfriend. In fact, Kath admitted to having feelings before she got into a relationship with him but claimed the crush was over.
Nonetheless, she spoke to another one of her close friends– who was also out drinking that night– and they confirmed that Kath “very obnoxiously” likes her boyfriend.
She also learned that Kath had just gone through a really messy break-up with a long-term partner. So, her friend guessed that Kath was likely looking toward her boyfriend as a sort-of rebound.
Understandably, that makes her feel pretty uncomfortable, too.
“But at the same time, I don’t want to assume that Kath lied to me about her feelings towards my boyfriend. I also feel bad for straining their long friendship if it really wasn’t true,” she vented.
So now, she’s been left wondering whether she should trust that Kath is telling the truth and allow her boyfriend’s friendship to continue as usual or assume the worst and let her boyfriend distance himself from Kath.
Didn’t Kath straight-up tell her about the crush? Does it matter whether Kath was drunk or not? Do you think she should give Kath the “benefit of the doubt” or set a boundary between Kath and her boyfriend? What would you do?
