Last month, I told him directly that I don’t like him liking/commenting on revealing photos of other women. He actually unfollowed those accounts and seemed to stop for a while, so I thought things were improving.
But now, I see he’s started again: liking/commenting and following new women, some of whom look like the type you’d meet on dating apps. It makes me wonder if he just temporarily stopped to appease me, but never really intended to change.
I want a long-term relationship with him, but I’m unsure how to handle this.
(Before we officially started dating, we both agreed we were looking for a long-term relationship. That’s why it feels even more confusing and hurtful to see him doing these things now.)
For those who decided not to break up in a similar situation:
- How did you bring up the conversation?
- How did your partner respond at the time?
- Did their behavior actually change afterward?
- How do you feel about your decision now?
- Did you act normal until you talked, or did you distance yourself?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people who stayed, what worked (or didn’t), and how it feels in the long run.
