My partner’s boyfriend confessed his love for me – should I tell my boyfriend?
My partner’s boyfriend confessed his love for me and told me I’m ‘beautiful’ – should I tell my boyfriend?
A woman sought advice online after her partner’s boyfriend confessed that he loved her and even described her as “beautiful.”
The mother went to the British parenting site Mumsnet to describe the “uncomfortable” situation that had left her feeling “sick.”
She explained that she was in a happy relationship with her childhood sweetheart and was utterly shocked to find out that the boyfriend was “completely in love” with her.
Making matters worse was that the couple, who are currently trying to have a baby, were destined to see the friend again soon because they all frequented “the same social circle.”
People advised her to ignore the incident, while others told her to inform her partner right away.

“I need some advice on how to handle this slightly uncomfortable situation and understand how I feel,” she explained.
“So I’m in a long-term, very happy relationship. We’ve been living together for years and trying to have a baby – we’re childhood sweethearts.
“I was having drinks with some friends over the weekend and ran into a friend of my partner’s.
“We get along really well and I’ve known him for years, so we sat down with him and his friends for a drink.
She explained that everything was “fine” until she went to the bar to get a drink.
She said her boyfriend’s boyfriend got up and followed her because he just wanted to “talk.”
“He said he knew it was wrong, but he was ‘completely in love with me,'” she added.
“He said how he wished things were different so he could have a chance with me.

“That I was beautiful, that he’s felt this way for years and always thought of me.”
The anonymous woman said she panicked and tried her best to laugh the situation off, which was challenging because she was “socially awkward.”
She continued, “I said he probably had too much to drink and he probably says that to all the girls when he’s drunk.
‘I know. Not ideal. Made my excuses and went home.
‘But what now? I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t lie, it was quite nice to hear all those words from someone!
‘Shall I tell my partner? It’s his friend, isn’t it? Or does that make it a bigger problem than it is and make him angry or upset for no reason?
“We will see him 100 percent again soon, we are all in the same social circle and it is only a matter of time. I’m getting sick at the thought.”
One person replied to the post, suggesting that the poster keep everything a secret: “Poor dude. Don’t say anything to anyone and hope he gets over it and finds happiness and love with someone who is free.”
Many people advised her to ignore the incident, while others instructed her to inform her partner immediately
‘I would tell my partner myself. I don’t see why you wouldn’t,” said another.
Another added, “I think you were right to call him drunk.
‘I would tell my partner, but it would depend on his personality. If he’s the type to jump off the deep end or be confrontational, I wouldn’t tell him at this stage.”
Meanwhile, one person said the woman gave the “perfect” answer, but warned her not to be left alone with him. She wrote, “I think you got the perfect answer. Forget it now.
“Don’t try to be alone with him. If he says it again, tell your partner.
“Remember – of course he thinks he’s in love with you because you’re amazing!! He won’t be the only one, he’s just the one who had the guts to tell you.
“Hold that feeling for when you’re having a bad day!!! Laugh out loud’.
