Plus: He said I remind him of his ex, and that makes me suspicious.
Be strong and tell her your thoughts. While you are relieved that she is no longer in what seemed to be a toxic relationship, she still bears the scars of what occurred during their time together. As much as you love her, you are incapable of coaching her through this emotionally draining period in her life. Tell her that you do not have the ability to serve in that role for her.
As her friend, you can help her find a therapist. Ask around for referrals. Encourage her to set up a session and give it a try. In your conversations, pivot when she starts to cling too hard. You will have to draw the line in order for her to stop relying on you.A man I’m dating told me that he was initially attracted to me because I looked like his ex-girlfriend. I don’t know how to feel about this.
He told me it isn’t a big deal, but I disagree. This could just mean that he has a type, but it could also mean that he is not over his ex. I’m feeling a little uneasy about this revelation.Ask this man why he thought that was a good thing to tell you. Encourage him to talk about his ex so that you can get a sense of who she is, and more, what their relationship was like. How long were they together? When and why did they break up? Gather intel.
Now evaluate your own relationship. What do you like about this guy? What does he like about you? Yes, he may have a type, and you may be it. That isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually quite common. Besides your appearance, what else is working — or not — in this relationship? If it feels good and comfortable, continue. If your sixth sense suggests that something is off, trust your gut.
