My (22F) boyfriend Will (23NB/M) only spends time with his other partner Dave (26M) and only mentions him. It's always "My boyfriend Dave this" "My boyfriend Dave that" or "I can't wait to see my boyfriend!" "I miss my boyfriend!" "I'm sad I lost my phone so I can't text my boyfriend!" (today)

Like, it's so confusing because WHAT ABOUT ME? I'm right there. And he shows guilt a few times and apologizes but keeps doing it. And he never worries about texting me. In fact, he always leaves me on read and doesn't bother to text back because mainly he's calling Dave!!!

And I have Aiko (23F), my fiancée, and I love her to death, but I don't know why I'm so jealous and hung up over this guy!! I just wish he treated me how I treated him and how Aiko and I treat each other. I never tell Aiko this stuff because I don't wanna make her jealous so I only spend time with her and talk to her about our interests, not him or his interests.

But seriously, and whenever there's an example of a relationship, he never says "I would never do that to Wendy", it's always "I would never do that to Dave" when I hear it. I'm just an afterthought.

But you know what? I'm obviously a sidepiece, and he's romantic sometimes when we see each other and touchy with me, so maybe he loves me more than I think and I'm just overreacting because I'm such a good person. Like, the queen of good people. So I will likely stay with him and just suck it up.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
