Thank you!!! I appreciate your advice, I did and she reassured me that she loves me but still it was hard to have to hear, I should ask her if she is happy. They are in the same industry so that makes sense about the aspirations.

😬 I am so sorry you're dealing with this!! Have you discussed it with your girlfriend? I would let her know what she said (refresh her if she does remember, just so she knows).. I would ask her if she is happy in your relationship and maybe ask her how she would feel if the situation was reversed.

To confess, about a year in with my girlfriend I got cold feet about her (lack of) aspirations and my ex was having a lot of accomplishments I was striving for... I didn't dish this to my girl, and buried the thought.. maybe she is seeing something in her ex she wants for herself and it isn't meant to be hurtful to you.... still..... I would talk to her.

She told me about the advice she would give her, mentioned how nice her body got from working out, and showed me her socials (gf doesn’t follow her anymore) - anyways I don’t know what to think… I thought she was over her but now I don’t know what to think and I’m sad

She also mentioned she has a thing for making me jealous to which I said would Cause me to not trust her and then us not being together (because she wouldn’t want to be with me if she didn’t trust me) (same) and I stressed to her that I don’t like it at all + she knows and wants to be better about it but still annoying

Woah red flag.
