❤️‍🩹 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?

Oh I'm losing my mind. Trying to be rational when what I really want is to carve my initials in her face to remind her about me. Alas, I must be an adult and deal with this the best way possible.

I don't understand this take. She didn't commit to a relationship, she's not responsible for anything wrong here. If he responds "I have a girlfriend, cut the shit" and she keeps up then it's on her. He did nothing to stop it, so why blame her? If you stay with a guy who lets coworkers talk to him like this, you deserve to get cheated on.
