📝 AITA for wanting to leave my bf over his friends?

So me (LR) and my bf (LH) have dated before but broke up because of his lack of communication, after a month or so we started talking again and ended up together.

The talking stage and the beginning of the relationship were so fun, we would text every night, he’d compliment me, and we were just genuinely so good.

But one problem is that LH would always talk to his ex (“D”) because they’re in the same class, it obviously bothered me and I talked to him about it, he said they were just friends, he didn’t really like her and she was kind of annoying, and he just wanted to be nice. I didn’t want to annoy him so I tried to ignore it.

(I should include that I have major overthinking problems and the smallest things will send me into hours of overthinking.)

Moving on he would talk to her more, my friend (A) is in his class and would update me, saying they’d sit together, do work together and “play fight”. This bothered me and I brought it up again, and again he said she was forcing him to do these things which I believed, because a few of my friends have been saying D looks like she was forcing him to do those things she really does NOT like me.

Anyways, I let it go again because I didn’t want to ruin our relationship, but lately it’s really been hitting me how many female friends he has, I try not to let it bother me but he really does pay more attention to them than me and I don’t like it.

It’s gotten to the point where he talks to my bsf (“R”) more than me, walking her home, and he even set his insta pic as her, and OUR chat background on snapchat as a pic of her. It really bothered me and once again I told him about how it bothered me, sending him maybe 2-3 paragraphs, all he said to that was “it was just for lackssss” and “i donttttt”, making no effort to comfort me when I was clearly sad. I was so pissed and was being so dry and said “ok”, and he thought it would be funny to send a “funny” sticker in this conversation, I was genuinely hurt that he was taking it as a joke.

(EDIT: when i saw his profile picture on insta was a pic of R, i texted R and told her, she had no idea and told him to change it not only for my sake but also bc she didn’t like it, our background is also now a picture of another one of his female friends, big surprise.!)

He also posted a photo dump and included photos of every female he knows but me. Even my bsf and his ex who he said he hated. I felt horrible because he wouldn’t even acknowledge me at school but would spend his whole class time talking to his ex and other females. I feel like such a jealous bitch.

Every time I try to talk to him he’s just so immature, I genuinely want to stay with him. It’s getting hard lately and I’m really considering it, helppp?
