Feeling insecure and crazy 😜

38 replies

user1465649950 · 14/01/2017 19:21

I feel like I need a good shake and told to get a grip and my mums away!

Me and my boyfriend have had some issues (I've posted about these) so we aren't together as such at the moment, my choice.
We both agree to not seeing anyone else and he's seeing our daughter regularly, and basically doing whatever I ask.
I'm feeling crazy and insecure though. He's in a band (not famous or anything, just a hobby) and often has girls liking and commenting on his photos on social media, it never usually bothers me at all! But I feel I'm obsessed at the moment, his band mate put photos on Instagram from a gig last night and loads of girls commented, I was looking on their accounts, something I'd never do. One girl had a photo with my bf, she'd only put something like met......from..... but I feel really crappy about it!
He's called to see dd tonight and was dressed up to go out and I feel angry about it. He wanted to stay in with me and I said no. So I know I've no right to be mad or expect him to sit home alone or anything.
It's really not like me and I know it's probably just because we aren't in the best place right now. I'm not feeling too well and dd was really unsettled last night, so I've not slept. Im home alone and he's out having fun.
I can't help but think wtf am I doing. I'm encouraging him to go out and have fun without us! And crazily, I think he should be able to read my mind and just not go out!

I knew I'd miss him and I know he does me. I didn't expect it to make me feel so crazy and stalker..ish!!
I think I just need sleep!

We are going out for lunch today, so I think I might talk about how I'm finding it. I don't want him to feel he can't be going out and having fun though!

0dfod my parent are way at the moment (Australia for 4 weeks) I know that's not helping! It's the first time it's just been me and the baby.
I really don't think he's rubbing my face in it, the photo wasn't on his page and it's not something that would usually bother me anyway so he wouldn't expect me to be annoyed even if he had!
He'd said he wanted to see us last night before hand, I'm the one saying no. He asked if he could call and see dd on his way out, so I knew he was going out. When he was here he said I looked unwell and offered to stay to help with dd, I said no! If he stays we aren't very good at keeping the boundaries we've agreed on (we'll have sex!)
I'm going to speak to him when we are out! As I don't think I can do it like this, I'm just not sure what I can do!

You have a child together. It isn't 'rushing into it' to live together in those circumstances.

AutumnRose8 · 15/01/2017 16:30

In an effort to sort things out, you've complicated them even more. You - both of you - decided to put your feelings and emotions into a box temporarily, in the hope of creating a better relationship, and for him to be a better dad. That doesn't seem to be working very well...at least not for you, in fact just creating feelings of insecurity. Perhaps a rethink and more discussion is needed.

I think autumn rose is spot on here

user1465649950 · 15/01/2017 16:52

JennyHolzersGhost Its really not something I'm ready for yet. He is looking for somewhere on his own, he shares a house at the moment, so we might stay with him more if he does.

I think posters would probably need to read the previous thread to understand this situation. It's unusual and the op is following good advice and making the right choice at the moment imo

user1465649950 · 15/01/2017 16:57

We've been out and spoke a bit over lunch, he says he's struggling as much as I am. He's called home for some things and is going to stay tonight, mostly so I can hopefully get some sleep!!
I know your right Autumnrose I'm just not sure what's going to work best for all three of us. Hopefully we will talk a bit more when dd goes to sleep, IF she goes to sleep!!!

Get some sleep.

user1465649950 · 15/01/2017 21:26

That's exactly my plan WarmFunKindStrong he's now on baby duty, until she needs feeding!

Have to say I feel so much better, after a decent nights sleep and I'm feeling a bit stupid now!! Really glad I never mentioned the Instagram pictures to him.
Feeling betrayed by the baby though...she woke at 12.30 and he brought her to feed, then that was it until 6.30 this morning. He said she stirred at about 3, he just stroked her face and she went back off! 'Haven't you tried that' he said!!!
I'm sure he thinks, I made up how unsettled she's been.
