Hey Sadia, The post is called "Why Women's Intuition Will Never Steer You Wrong" for a reason. If you feel like something strange is going on, it probably is. At the very least something is making you feel like something shady is happening regarding your dude & your girl. The basis of any strong relationship is trust. That includes romantic relationships as well as friendships. You have to ask yourself, "Why am I in relationships with people I can't trust?" Do you really want to spend your time playing Inspector Gadget with people who claim to care about you? I'm not asking you to flat leave your friend and boyfriend because love is complicated and you can't turn it on and off like a switch, but I'm asking you to take a look at yourself and ask yourself what will make you the happiest in the long run.
