Hey there. I’m 24 years old and in a relationship with a man who’s 37. We first talked online for a while, almost a year or so. We decided to meet and it all went smoothly. We moved in together after 1 year. We had a long distance relationship for a while, because I have to finish my master’s degree. He met my parents, I met his, along with his friends and so on. There’s only one problem. He has an ex that he has a house with. She’s never worked a day in her life, so it’s difficult for her to take care of herself. Her mom helps her so she can pay for the house for a while. He found an apartment we both stay in, a rented place. He said that if his ex can’t pay anymore for the house, they’ll have to sell. In a way it sounds clear and I accept the fact that they have to talk about certain things. He leaves his phone around me and many times we talk about the things that go on. I understand it’s a difficult process, I also have to go back for a while to finish my last year of master’s.
Last week he proposed me also to give me more strength in the year we’ll be away from each other. Even though we’ll visit each other in the meantime.
I was very happy for a while, him and his ex stopped talking for about 2-3 weeks. But I saw that recently he sent her a message asking her if she’s alright and so on. I’m wondering if I’m not freaking for no reason.. Thank you
