A man has recently shared his thoughts on NUSWhisper Facebook Page about how he felt insecure after his girlfriend had a job change.
According to him, he introduced his girlfriend to the job earlier and this new job allows her to meet new people of higher income. Recently, the man noticed that his girlfriend has been talking to a guy on the phone frequently. The duration of the call could last for hours and she seems to be very happy at the same time. At times, she even compared him to the other man.
The man then tried to break up with his girlfriend over the matter but was unsuccessful and the problem still persists.
In his Post:
“My GF of almost 3 years got a new job this year that I introduced her to and in this role, she’s exposed to many new people of higher income and SES.
A little background, myself coming from a middle-income family and happy, she comes from a high-income family recently started venting her frustrations on how she would like to have a high SES life in the future and ever since the start of the relationship I’ve been striving to catch up and did but due to the pandemic, my income has since dropped a lot.
Recently I’ve noticed she’s been talking to more and more people especially when we quarrel. Once, when she was with me she had a phone call with another guy for close to an hour and the conversation was so joyous, something we didn’t have for a Long time.
She kept telling me it’s part of work to know more people and I understand this but emotionally you understand when someone else is starting to compare you to someone else.
I recently confronted her on this and she denied all accusations and claimed I was being foolish and petty but people with a partner I’m sure you would feel when something is amiss.
I have since tried to break up with her but she always comes back and says how much she loves me and as I love her too much, I always give in but I feel it’s slowly eating me inside on how I’m not good enough and she’s still talking to all these people even though she thinks it’s nothing at all.
I still love her a lot but I would just like an opinion on whether I should try to persevere through this and that she would change or am I just being too sensitive? She has also done this at the start of the relationship but it was just during the beginning and she says it’s cause she’s just friendly and nice.“
