I really need your advice right now April, because I’m starting to feel paranoid. I’ve been noticing things about my boyfriend’s behavior, but I’m not sure if I’m right. I feel like he’s lying to me, yet I still believe him even though deep inside I want to stand up for what I think is true I just can’t seem to do it. What I end up doing is believing whatever explanation he gives. For example, one night he came home drunk and a friend told me she saw him at a bar with another woman. When I asked him about it he said the woman was his boss and that he was with other coworkers too. I just chose to believe him so the issue wouldn’t get bigger, but deep inside I feel like I believe my friend more. It’s like there’s a voice telling me my friend is telling the truth. I also noticed that he makes me feel like I’m the one at fault whenever I ask questions about things that bother me. Sometimes I catch myself apologizing even when I don’t think I did anything wrong. I love him and I want to trust him, but I can’t ignore what I’m feeling. How can I prove if my instincts are right and how do I recognize if my boyfriend is already manipulating me?
