Our reader dropped us a message.

Thank you for reaching out to us! We’re sorry that this has happened to you, and we’re here to help you get through this. Here are some tips that might make you feel a bit better.

Ask him for closure.

It can be difficult for him to cut off all contact with his ex, especially considering the circumstances. However, he’s the one who ultimately decides the direction of his relationships. It’s sad that his ex-girlfriend is facing such challenges, but she still belongs to his past, while you’re his present and future. He should prioritize your relationship and set boundaries that respect your feelings.

 

Support your boyfriend.

Remind your boyfriend that you’re by his side and have his back. Your boyfriend is struggling just as much as you are right now. He might be torn between his emotions for his ex and his commitment to you. Be patient and show him that you understand and support him as he tries to figure it all out.

Set boundaries.

Make sure you set clear boundaries with your boyfriend about how he communicates with his ex-girlfriend. Talk about what’s okay and what’s unacceptable in your relationship, and make sure you both stick to those rules. Respect each other’s boundaries and feelings.

Reach out to your friends and family.

Surround yourself with people who truly care about you and can offer encouragement as you deal with this difficult situation. Connect with your friends and family who can offer emotional support, helpful advice, and a listening ear whenever you need it.

It’s great to have a doctor in your family. However, when your concerns are brushed off, trust starts to crumble. In this story, we reveal what our reader faced: her husband’s attitude towards her health nearly led to a heartbreaking outcome.
