Hi April,
I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 3 years. We are both in our late 20s and we have a happy relationship that has had a few bumps in the past. We generally spend every weekend together, but two weekends ago I was busy on Sat. night with a bachelorette party for a friend. My boyfriend went to a resturant/bar with two guys friends (who I know well) and a girl I’ve never met (Kelly). He texted me when he got home that night and actually kept in contact with me a few times throughout the night as well. Kelly was there bc one of his guy friends is interested in her, but they are not dating or anything. Since that night, he has brought her name up to me multiple times in casual conversation. For example, if I said, “I’m going for a run tonight.” He might say, “Oh yeah, Kelly likes to run too.” It strikes me as a bit odd. He’s prob brought up her name to me 5 times since that night. Last night I was at his place and his facebook account was open. He was in the shower so I looked at his account and saw that they had been privatly messaging each other. She started the conversation and it wasn’t flirting or anything like that, but it still has me concerned. They messaged back and forth about 10-12 times. They were talking about a party for his other friend this upcoming Friday that they are both going to among other things. I will be at that party also, so I feel like he wouldn’t be stupid enough to have me in the same room as another girl he is interested in if that is the case. What do you think I should do? Do you think I have a reason to be worried? Should I bring this up to him?
