My bf and I have been together for 6 months. He has been the best bf I could ask for, especially since my 6 year relationship before was toxic. I realize there are a lot of things I'm having to unlearn from my ex. However, my bf has a lot of friends that are girls that like him. I am not one to say he can't talk to people, just as long as he respects me in the process. These girls (all back in his home state) seem to come to him when their bfs are being terrible to them. He just has a tendency to tilt his phone away when he gets messages like those. He kinda tells me about them, but the part of me struggles still from my ex with stuff like this. I've talked to my bf about it once and he told me he would never allow anything to happen that would ruin what we have and that I'm the best thing that has happened to him. That being said, idk if he's just saying that to keep getting away with it or if he's genuine? I have trust for him for the most part, I just don't trust other girls because I know how great of a guy he is. I've also thought that maybe the tilting of the phone is a habit from his last relationship which was toxic?

Any advice is appreciated on what I can do for this or how to get out of the negative mindset if I'm making more of it than necessary. Thank you in advance
