Am I wrong to feel the way I do?

Me and this guy have been talking since last November. And well it’s been kinda on and off just because life has been life-ing.

Well my birthday just passed back in July and it was a hard one. It was the first since I’ve been away from home and living with him and it just was in the middle of a hard time for me and I told him I wasn’t very excited but still wanted it to be special. That day came and went. Didn’t get anything and he barely even told me happy birthday..

fast forward to today, he is currently out of town with some friends spending a week for a girls birthday and she got posted on his story. He just became friends with her and her bf like 3 weeks ago.

Am I wrong to be upset and feel kinda jealous?

It's completely normal to wrestle with feelings of jealousy, especially in a relationship where communication and emotional support are crucial. Conversations about unmet expectations, particularly around significant events like birthdays, can lead to confusion and hurt. When your birthday is overlooked, especially following a challenging year, it’s natural to seek validation and care from your partner. Jealousy can also stem from insecurities, especially when your partner interacts with new friends or seems to prioritize their needs over yours. It's important to acknowledge these feelings without immediate judgment. Instead, consider talking to your partner about what you need from the relationship and how certain actions make you feel. Discussions can foster better understanding and ensure both partners feel valued and heard. Additionally, maintaining open lines of communication and setting clear expectations can help mitigate misunderstandings. If you're feeling left out or neglected, express those concerns candidly. The goal is to build a deeper connection where both partners can express their feelings and work together to strengthen their bond. Remember, it's okay to feel what you're feeling, and seeking clarity can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.
