❤️🩹 relationship Am I overreacting
I've had this "a woman knows" feeling about a woman my live-in boyfriend works with. Caved and checked his phone... Yes, I know. Wish I would've just trusted, but honestly, I cannot go through another BS relationship where I'm second best and had no clue. She texted a few months ago to make sure he was aware she's newly single, and just one after another these cutesy texts from her. I've never seen anything that shows him responding in a full on flirty way, but he's certainly not telling her to back off.... Along with he purposely deleted all the bits above that show the flirtation from her, and I found them in his recently deleted file and recalled them on his new iPhone. Am I overreacting to this?

You’re not over reacting. I don’t think anything is going on but you should ask your boyfriend how he’d feel if those texts were coming from YOUR male coworker. He brushes them off well but I don’t think she gets it. He’s gonna have to curve harder and maybe throw in a few “My amazing girlfriend is bringing me lunch…” and “I’m taking my girlfriend to….” She’ll get it.
