Can your face show your feelings?

Just that really. Do you think your face shows your feelings? When my dp speaks to a female friend his face looks so smiley and happy at her and I don't know if I'm reading too much into it. I walked into the room this morning when he was on a video call and she was still in bed and I didn't think that was appropriate either but I can't tell if it's just me

laughytwinklyeyes is a great description. If you have walked into a fresh relationship and he's chucking around the glad eye with someone who is an established and intimate friend then it sounds like a world of trouble down the line and I'd quietly just call it a day. No point making life harder than it needs to be.

But if you have an established and committed relationship and this has developed in the background, honestly, I'd be wild and I doubt I'd be very cool about it.

We've been together 5 years with dc so no walking away quietly! He doesn't know I even saw. I hovered and heard him say he only had to go as our dc was waking up and needed settling back to sleep

Oh, I'm sorry - you mentioned it in such a breezy way I was sure it was the former. In that case, yes I'd tackle it openly. I suppose the sensible advice would be to sit down together and talk about it and you can tell him about your hurt feelings. Personally though, I don't have the patience of a saint, and I'd ask him what the fuck he was playing at?
