Relationship Advice: My boyfriend always gives attention to another girl

I have been feeling like bad for a few weeks now. Long story short I’ve been in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for a few months now. What bothers me is that, he has this female friend that always requires a lot of attention from him and he thinks it’s normal. He used to like her for 3 years but she didn’t want a relationship due to different religion issues. My boyfriend stopped talking to her for 2 years to be able to move on and a month before he met me, he started writing to her again as a friend. I always feel like this girl likes my boyfriend more than a friend, but my boyfriend keeps telling me that I just assume. For example, after I go to sleep, my boyfriend often calls her and talks to her but he thinks it is normal to hear from his friend once in a while. Especially because years ago when my boyfriend was depressed, this girl was there to help him and now that the girl is the one who isn’t doing well, he feels like he should be there for her. This summer, my fear and speculation came true. This girl went on vacation in a city one hour away from my boyfriend. I suspected that she chose that particular place so that he would see my boyfriend. But of course, my boyfriend defended her by saying that she has always been wanting to visit that particular area. My boyfriend decided to drive an hour to meet her as a friend. I was doing so bad the whole week because I knew she likes him and might try to do something with him. I puked for the whole week and lost 4 kg because of this, especially on the day he went and he still went anyway because he thought it wasn’t appropriate to ignore a friend who came to visit. During the visit, my boyfriend told her that he is in a relationship with me now. The night after my boyfriend came back from spending 13 hours with her, she called my boyfriend and told him that she likes him and she doesn’t know what to do with the whole situation. She said she will stop talking to my boyfriend so she can move on, but ever since she said that until today, she has been writing to my boyfriend everyday. Last night my boyfriend ended the call early with me because he was sick, but when I was asleep she called him and they talked. According to him it would be their last phone call because after the call, she would delete his contact. Well knowing how clingy this girl is, I think this won’t even last a month and she will come back again. I’ve been feeling like bad for the whole week because my boyfriend always makes it look like I’m the one who is overthinking and jealous for thinking that the relationship and the amount of communication and attention they share is not formal for friends. And I feel like this girl doesn’t respect me because my boyfriend told her that I am uncomfortable about the whole situation and she still writes and calls him regardless. But of course my boyfriend always defends her saying that she isn’t crossing the line or trying to steal him from me. My boyfriend told me he would never do anything differently for me because she is a good friend to him and he will always be there when she needs him. I will never ask him to stop talking to her as well but I wish they both understand my position and feeling. They make it look like I’m the one who is crazy to worrying and overthinking. To be honest, I was doing fine until this summer because they met in person and she told him that she likes him. Now my boyfriend is extremely sad for losing her as a friend and I’m still doing bad because of the whole situation but I try to hide it from my boyfriend or else he will say that I am too dramatic again. What should I do if I will never be able to accept her as his friend? Source: https://www.enotalone.com #dating #relationships
