Uggggh, SUCK. There's never an easy answer, is there?

I feel like insecurity might be the source of a lot of this junk. You feel insecure, so you find flattery/ego boost/emotional comfort elsewhere. He feels insecure, so he searches for signs that you want someone else more than him. Cue EMOTIONSPLOSION and now everyone feels even less secure and it's basically Sucktown, USA.

Maybe that needs to be a part of the conversation--if you're even at the point where you want to have conversations about it anymore. That like... you're both doing things that means you're not feeling secure in the relationship, and why could that be?

FUCK IF I KNOW, you've seen all my relationship bullshit lately, lulz.
