She’s Hurt That Her Boyfriend Spent A Night In Bed Hugging His Crying Ex-Girlfriend
When exes try to stay friends, and one of them still has feelings for the other, things are bound to get messy.
This 25-year-old girl has a 30-year-old boyfriend named James, but two years ago, he broke up with his 30-year-old ex-girlfriend Winnie.
James and Winnie decided to be friends after the breakup, and that definitely put a strain on her relationship with James.
This is mainly due to Winnie being unable to move on. Winnie genuinely believes that James is her soulmate, and she won’t acknowledge that James simply stopped feeling the love for her.
“So a conversation they will very often have is James literally spending hours going over the logic of why he broke up with her,” she explained.
“He tries to reassure her since they’re still friends and she’s hurting, but I have witnessed some of these conversations, and he’s loving but firm.”
“I suspect some of you will say there’s still something going on, but there really isn’t. James is definitely over her.”
Two weeks ago, she and James moved in with one another, which resulted in Winnie really going off the deep end. Winnie has been crying nonstop and acting depressed over their relationship progression.
Over the weekend, she spent Saturday evening at her mom and dad’s house as she was picking up some more belongings to take to her new place.
Somehow, Winnie knew she wasn’t around and showed up on their doorstep, sobbing and carrying on.
She could see Winnie through their doorbell camera, though she didn’t realize she got the notification right away.
When she saw what Winnie was doing, she called and texted James, who didn’t respond to her the entire night that Winnie was with him.
She then went to check the camera set up in the living room that points to the front door, but it was not on. This isn’t unusual, as they only have it going when they’re away.
“But I was extremely upset and distraught as I was imagining the worst. I trust James, but I just didn’t understand why he wouldn’t answer my calls, and he admits it was horrible of him,” she added.
As soon as Sunday morning arrived, she resolved to dump James. But he texted her as she was thinking about ending their relationship, and he told her Winnie had stopped by.
James went on to admit that it sounded awful that Winnie had spent the whole night with him, but he promised that nothing had gone down between them and that their bedroom camera would provide the evidence.
She wasn’t buying what James said, so she looked at the camera footage to check up on his story, which showed James and Winnie lying in bed together. However, James was right: Winnie sobbed as he did his best to calm her down.
“There are some things he did that bother me a lot. At some point, he kissed her forehead, and he hugged her, and held her close several times,” she continued.
“I’m honestly speechless at that. But I understand he knew there was a camera on him the whole time, and he knew I would see him doing that. So I guess he doesn’t see that as cheating.”
“So, basically, James is asking me for understanding and for forgiveness. I have the proof that nothing happened, but I’m still hurt.”
“This isn’t how I imagined us starting our life together. What are the healthy next steps for our relationship?”
