I've always felt like I'm a hidden part in my boyfriend's life. I'm not introduced to his parents, any of his extended family members. His friends even stopped talking to me, and I feel isolated somehow. I used to get along so well with them when I was first introduced to them. I don't know what's going on, but I just recently found out that one of his cousin, and friends are still a really big part in his ex's life. I don't mean to say they can't be, I'm not selfish that way. But I wish I was introduced to them too, and then have the chance to find out why his friends stop talking to me. And that I'm somehow more involved in his life too you know, since his family and friends are big part of his life, so it's like his ex has an even bigger part in his life than I do. I don't know if it makes sense. But I feel so hurt right now that I know I must have the a low self-esteem to feel this hurt about that right? Can someone tell me what I can do to increase my self-esteem and not be bothered by this situation, please? I really need help.
I always thought I had a healthy level of self-esteem. Where did it go wrong?
