Me and my boyfriend work at the same plant. Well here is how it all started. My ex boyfriend called my now boyfriend and told him alot of lies which my boyfriend believes. Well last night I noticed on my cellphone that I have some text messages from my ex saying how I wouldn't sleep with him and he was mad. Should I show these to my boyfriend and show him I was telling him the truth or should I just leave him alone for a few days. He hasn't spoken to me in two days. We don't live together. I don't know what to do and it is driving me crazy. Should I ask him why he isn't talking to me? I am scared he is going to break up with me.

Please help me!

If it were me, I would show the messages to him. I would show that it is your ex that is trying to stir some stuff up with your current bf. He may believe you, he may not. Unless you talk to him, he will not know what you know. If he believes you, great....if not then you can say that you tried to show him.

Hi Cherrylemon!

I'm sorry you're having a difficult time.

My advice would be to give your boyfriend his space. When he is ready to talk, then you can show him the text messages.

I know it can be really hard to wait for him. In the meantime, do whatever you can to care for yourself. Journal about this, watch a funny movie, go out with some friends. Laughter can be great medicine, and just the act of smiling helps us feel better.

Show him and tell him. Maybe he will believe you and start talking to you again

First off, I would try to talk with him.....tell him you would like to know what is bothering him & that you would like to help with whatever it is....(as if you don't know anyway).....but....it's best if they can do the communicating......reason: I had lived with my husband for 32 years & he would never communicate about anything that was bothering him.....he would never communicate about anything at all. I finally got so fed up after all these years, I left.....moved from California to Kentucky (no family, friends or anything....just moved). It was the best thing I ever did. I realized how miserable it really is to be around someone who doesn't communicate.....it is better to be alone than to be with someone like that. If they don't want the consequenses than they need to talk & they need to do it when the problem is there in their face....not years later.

Voice of experience,
Debbie
