HICKEY OR SOMETHING ELSE!? Need advice

ATTACHED IS A PHOTO OF THE UNIDENTIFIED MARK

The other day me and my boyfriend were messing around and I saw a strange mark that looks like a hickey! I confronted him and asked him what it was.... the odd pasrt about his answer was that he had no clue what it is. We got into this huge argument and he was stupid clueless about his "bruise/scratch".

Clearly, let's say it were a bruise, the neck area being a sensitive spot... wouldn't you feel if something hit you or..punctured the skin hard enough to cause discoloration? I don't know what to think right now. I'm scared but I'm trying to keep my head composed.... please help me out somebody!

Honestly,it looks more like where an ldr spot has scarred.

Whatever it doesn't look like any love bites I have given or received.
I get marks and bruises all the time and have noooo idea how they get there or remember getting them.
It looks quite near his collar bone does he carry a backpack or anything a lot?
Imho, I really don't think it's anything to worry about.
Although your assumption that he is up to something made me wonder if u had another reason to doubt him. If not it might be best to apologise and let it go. Especially if u plan on staying with him.
Hope u guys work it out, all the best.

Honestly, if he has given you no other reasons to be concerned other than that mark, then you are being too paranoid.

It could be a number of things. It could be a bug bite or perhaps something fell on him? There is no telling.

And for the record, other people might have had this happen but there have been times where I have found cuts and bruises on various parts of my body without knowing how they got there. Yes, this does include sensitive spots such as hands, feet, neckline, elbow, shoulder, and other places. It is not uncommon for one to cut or bruise themselves without them realizing what happened.

So yeah, if he hasn't given you any other possible hints that he may be involved with another woman, let it go. Otherwise, you might push him away and cause him to want to cheat for real.

If it was a hickey (which I'm not at all convinced of btw) then its safe to say you have thee stupidest bf in the world.

Firstly you can feel if someone is giving you one, so if its not your gf, its stupid to not stop the alleged hickey giver, secondly, parading your alleged hickey is just stupid AF unless you want to be dumped, which in a manipulative way is then kind of smart if you think about it.

But since he doesn't want to be dumped....

Either you have trust issues or your boyfriend is dumb as a rock.

The first I would suggest working on strengthening your relationship, the second, well, different strokes for different folks. Even dumb people deserve love. Not that you have to be the one to give it to him, that's up to you.

I don't believe that it is one
