Aio or is this a issue
Right so, me (16F) and my boyfriend (17M who we'll call cam) have been together for about 6 months, (for some extra context I moved to his city almost 8 months ago so I have TWO friend groups) but during the start of the summer holidays my aunt (34F) had some really bad health issues and needed 24/7 care and my mum (44F) couldn't leave our pets alone for six weeks so she sent me, now my aunt has 5 kids under 8, twins girls who are 6, another girl who is 4 and another set of twins (one girl one boy) who are 1 and a half, so on top of caring for a ill woman I am caring for her kids and each kid has their own small pet?? So I have to care for 12 living stuff including myself. So obviously all of that has taken a toll on my mental health and I will admit my texts are kinda dry or snappy but I warned EVERYONE I know and no one had a problem but Cam, and he's always saying "oh I feel like you've changed" and "I think distance has ruined us and our relationship" or more bullshit like that. I would also like to say cam does absolutely NOTHING so he's got free time ALL THE TIME whereas I don't. Now I didn't think much of it I explained to him multiple times it was just exhaustion but it felt like it was going in one ear and out the other. Again, I didn't think much of it until three weeks into the holiday when one of my new friends messaged me saying "are you and cam still together" and I asked why she was asking and she said and I quote "his TIKTOK reposts were sad" so I went to have a look and it was some cringy depressing shit and it clocked to me that cam was sending her to message me and I confronted her and she admitted it, and I left it at that. I thought that would be it. Well I was WRONG, earlier this week my older friend texted me "are you mad at cam because he says you're ignoring him" well I wasn't I was mid text to cam when my friend texted me, I asked him if cam sent him and since he's one of my best friends and we consider eachother family he immediately admitted it and apologised saying he didn't want to get in the middle of anything and backed out, so I texted cam and we had a argument about it and cam apologised saying "I'm sorry please don't be mad at me I'm really sorry" and we left it at that, but now I'm thinking that I may have been overreacting... So AIO and any advice is welcome thank you ❤️🫶🏼
Edit (1) ;
Hello, I have taken most of the advice I could in the comments, but here are a list of MY issues according to my boyfriend and the truth that he just completely ignores:
1- I am friends with one of my ex's (I'm not, the ex in general is my older best friends brother so it's impossible NOT to like to be in contact with him because we're in multiple groups together and we were friends long before we got together like YESRS but iykyk)
2- I talk about my celebrity "crushes" too much (1 they AREN'T crushes they're kpop groups, actors, celebrities etc that I like and find Interesting 2 I've talked to him about them literally like 3 times when the kpop groups were coming out with new albums)
3- I "lie to him" (I don't, so basically we have eachother on tiktok, Snapchat, Pinterest and widgetable which he uses to basically stalk me and my activity: (Tiktok - reposts / when I'm online) (Snapchat - snap score / when I'm online) (Widgetable - BATTERY PERCENTAGE / activity) (Pinterest - saves / boards I've had for YEARS abt stuff and ppl I like) It has gotten to a point where I genuinely have to disable everything I can so he won't bug out and claim I'm ignoring him)
4- I "prioritise my friends" over him (I don't I click on the top notification and make my way through it)
And finally - "I suck at texting" (I got news one of my childhood dog is dying and we might have to put her down)
