I can tell you for certain and for sure that the R you have now will not last if you maintain the status quo.

You have got to change yourself. A whimpering, simpering, resentful, egg-shell walking mate is not attractive. It doesn't feel good to you, and it is probably beginning to wear on Gabe.

And, you can certainly talk to him about whatever you want. You CHOOSE not to.

How about: "Gabe, no, it doesn't make me mad exactly. It makes me feel unsure because you said the same things when you had the A. I have no interest in policing you. At the same time, I don't like feeling insecure. So, reassurance would be great. And, if you can send me pics and dirty texts while you're out, that would be even better."

You HAVE allowed this situation. You have CHOSEN to play the whiny martyr. At least, you made those choices yesterday and the day before. You haven't yet made your choices for today or tomorrow.


Best,
Oldtimer
