My partner has recently become close friends with my roommate. It makes sense, we all see each other regularly since my partner is always at our place, and we all have similar interests.

But lately they’ve been hanging out without me and making inside jokes and generally just making me feel out of the loop. I know that my partner is allowed to have friends and my roommate is too but I’m terrified that they’re going to get closer and decide they don’t need me.

Worst case scenario my roommate steals my partner but I’m hoping that’s too crazy to come true. I trust my partner and my roommate not to do something like that on a logical level, but my brain is making me feel resentment and hurt at a situation that hasn’t even happened.

Every time I end up being the one to walk behind when the sidewalk narrows I get scared that I’m gonna be left behind again, and it fucking blows.
