Relationships are confusing.
People say you should be suspicious if your partner is suddenly friendlier or more romantic.
Then they go on to say you should be suspicious if they are less so.
What if they're just being a better partner? If they're being sweeter just to be sweeter, how do you know?
I don't want to be suspicious when he's a better boyfriend. I don't want to wonder why when he does the dishes or any other chore. I just want to be glad he's making the effort.
We all want to believe that our partner isn't the kind of person to cheat. That he or she knows how it feels to be cheated on or they just love you so much that they couldn't stand the thought of hurting you like that.
I believe my boyfriend is a good person in general. Yes, he's been cheated on so he knows how it feels. I truly believe, in my heart, that he wouldn't let himself do that to me, just on principle alone. Do I believe he'd push a woman off who was throwing herself at him, though? I can only say I know it would be an internal struggle for him.
After all, he might be a good person, but he's also still a man.
