Dear Meredith,
My boyfriend and I have been together for three years now. We live together and have two dogs and share expenses, etc. Needless to say, we are pretty invested in the relationship. Life for the most part is pretty good. We have had our bad times and stupid fights, but overall, most of our days are filled with laughter and happiness. Recently my boyfriend has started playing for this new co-ed softball league. And lately I have noticed that he has been texting a lot, and when I say a lot I mean the second he gets home from work to the time he comes to bed. When I asked who he was giving all his time to, he said "softball people."
At first I didn't think anything of it until I noticed one day that he was sending multiple texts to a woman called "Emily Softball." He then began to tell me that she picked him up every week for softball (they carpool). The whole situation just rubbed me the wrong way. I do not mind him having female friends. I don't even mind him getting a ride from this new friend. I have friends who are guys but we don't exchange texts daily or weekly even for that matter.
When I tell my boyfriend that I am bothered by this, he says I am overacting. That this girl is a "guy girl." That he has zero attraction to her but he enjoys talking about sports and stuff. Now all this may be true. But at the end of the day he is still investing more time talking to this other woman than he is with me. I don't care if she looks like Shrek and if they talk about ABC's and 123's. I don't feel comfortable with him talking to another woman aside from me and his mother every day of the week. I feel extremely disrespected by this. I would never continuously do something that bothered my boyfriend and I don't believe that the relationship should be one-sided.
