Female Friends? Please Read

Niamh💛

Okay so I trust my boyfriend, he has friends of course and I don't mind that some might be female because at the end of the day he's mine right? But recently he's started catching up with an old friend, she has a boyfriend so that was reassuring, but after a few days of them texting back and fourth I thought he'd start closing the conversation. He usually can't be bothered with the effort and unless its me they'll get a delayed reply, but after a month nearly two they've still been speaking every day. I wouldn't mind this if it was a few messages a day, I see what they talk about most of the time so there isn't much harm done but it's CONSTANTLY. From when he wakes up and sometimes till the moment he falls asleep, I feel ignored some days because I'll be in the middle of telling him a story but he's too busy looking at his phone to reply to her. When we're spending time with my family or his, he is still texting her with his head down on his phone. His phone is constantly lit up by her name and it just feels a bit much now. They don't really talk about anything serious, like secrets or anything to do with each others relationships but me and my boyfriend live together, her and her boyfriend don't. So when she's home alone all she does is text mine constantly, I feel like she should realise when she knows my mans been working 13 hours that day that I want some time with him but no, the texts keep coming and multiple times in the one go. It's just too much now, he can't ignore her or she gets offended and messages something like "Ignored? oh okay then". Its as if she never spends time with her boyfriend. Sometimes I look away from my boyfriend to do something for seconds and I turn back and he's back to messaging her. He'll pause what he is doing to message her back, it's infuriating and he doesn't always understand. He thinks it's always to do with jealousy when really I just want to enjoy his company and spend some time with him.

What's everyone else's opinion on this? I just want to know I'm not being insane. I speak to my bf about it and yeah he listens, laughs it off and calls it cute but other times he calls me obsessed. I just don't see how I am obsessed when he's the one constantly on his phone.

**UPDATE**

Boyfriend seen how much this was bothering me and I showed him this post, he took it seriously and said that I shouldn't have been put in a position of questioning my importance to him☺ We had a lovely night together, no phones, we just watched a movie and he didn't speak to her and even when she does message he's barely replying or hinting that he's leaving the conversation❤
