My bf & I have been exclusive for just over a year now. And we have talked seriously of our future together. But he has his ex GFs name tattoed on his wrist. I have dealt with the eyesore with minimal nagging. But recently something came up that pulled the trigger on the subject. And now I can’t/won’t let it go. It’s me or the ink!
TBH I am naturally an insecure & jealous person. With multiple mental health issues (Manic depression, anxiety etc) which I control remarkably well. We all have a past, fine. But it’s just like rubbing my nose in it constantly. It bothers me for many reasons- like when we’re in public and I get confused for her. Or when I hold his hand, there “she” is! IMO, if it were done &over with no lingering attachment he would want it covered. But instead it just makes me feel like a settlement or otherwise inadequate.
He had mentioned having it covered in the past, months ago. But since then, its almost like he defends it . And that I should just deal with it. “It’s his past, his body, his right.” Which of course, is true. But I refuse to just deal with it. The only way for it to not bother me is to not be wth him.
Am I being unreasonable? how would you feel? TIA
