Hey I'm a 17 year old girl and recently I have had a boyfriend we've been together for about 4 months.
I met him because he came new to my school and I felt bad for him and decided to be friends with him. Quickly we came to each other for comfort, had our first date and even our first kiss. I was his first girl and kiss and he was my first bf and kiss. We've had to keep our relationship really private because we both come from a very religious household but we are not religious ourselves.
We shared a lot in common beliefs, mental health problems and personality.
One thing I've realised is that I will not be pretty enough for him. A few days ago, me, him and Susie went to the beach. This was his first time meeting Susie ever, whilst me and Susie used to be good friends a few years ago. I'm not allowed to wear the clothing I want because of my background and religion. He complimented Susie but he didn't really talk to me at all. They had a lot common interests. When we were sitting on the bench, he was having proper conversations with her, which he wouldn't really do with me when were alone. Unlike me, Susie doesn't struggle with acne, weight loss and being restricted with what she can wear and do because of her parents and religion.
A few days ago out of nowhere, we stopped talking but I know from a gc that he has started talking to Susie. Susie is really sweet and I can't hate her, but I still have feelings for my bf. I know they are just friends for now, but honestly, everyone around me sees them as a cute couple. He's playing along with it, but he didn't even recognise me as a gf infront of others. Probably because I'm ugly af
I feel like when we first started dating, he had more feelings for me than I did for him, but now it's the other way round. We would speak so often and for so long, and cuddle and kiss and love each others presence, but now its like he's disappeared (its only been 3 days since we stopped talking) and I really miss him and can't get over it. I really want his comfort back
I feel more and more insecure about my body, I dislike my parents more because they make me wear a big black coat outside, all day everyday even in the heat. I dislike my stupid self for having to leave the beach early and leave them alone together. I know they are just friends but still, it could go further. And I don't want that because I still have feelings for him.
What should I do? I am way to scared to speak to him again. We used to speak online for hours but everything has turned around.
