She’s Considering Breaking Up With Her Boyfriend Because He’s A “Flirt” Who Hesitated When She Asked If He’d Been Flirting With Female Friends During Their Relationship
This 27-year-old woman and her boyfriend, who is 32, have been dating for one year. But, she’s always gotten the feeling that was kind of a “flirt.”
For context, she first met her boyfriend after visiting a shop where he worked, and then they were actually just “friends” for a year. However, the entire time, she had a feeling that he liked her.
“I found out later he had a girlfriend the whole time and viewed us as friends,” she recalled, “So, I am already untrusting.”
And now that they’re officially in a relationship, she knows that her boyfriend still has a lot of female coworkers and friends – most of whom are attractive and much younger than him.
“I have never had male friendships, and I don’t have social media, so maybe I am a bit sensitive,” she noted.
Regardless, just the other day, she became angry and decided to confront her boyfriend – asking if he ever spoke to other girls online.
He became pretty quiet after that before admitting that he did speak to other women. But he claimed they were just friends.
She kept pushing to find out more information, though, and asked if he ever flirts with his “friends” or has gotten any numbers from other women.
“We have also been sort of ‘on and off’ over a few months, so I am giving some benefit of the doubt,” she explained.

“However, we never discussed seeing other people.”
Well, her boyfriend wound up admitting that there was some “attraction” between him and certain friends – while still proceeding to swear that everything was just platonic.
This caused her to remember how, very early on in their relationship, he once called one of his female friends attractive. So, he brought up that specific girl and asked about her, but her boyfriend just became super quiet and “distant” again.
The whole conversation with her boyfriend has left her feeling really uneasy, too.
“As I have never met these girls and it makes me not trust him,” she vented.
“He was also very hesitant to answer me when I asked if he had been flirting during our relationship.”
So now, she’s actually considering breaking up with her boyfriend because he’s been talking to female friends behind her back. But she’s unsure if that would be a justified or a jerky move.
Does it seem like her boyfriend has a pattern of flirting with others while already in a relationship? Should she break up with him over it or not? What would you do?
