📝 WIBTH If I break up with my girlfriend after she came clean about entertaining guys on her dms

Me (24M) and my girlfriend (22F) have been dating for a couple of months. Things have been going well—good connection, clear communication, and even talks about long-term commitment. Everything felt solid.

But today, something happened that really threw me off. She called and said she feels like she's "not being loyal" to me. That already sounded strange, so I asked her what made her feel that way.

She told me she posted a story on Instagram and got a lot of attention. I was like, "Okay, that’s normal, no big deal." But then she said she knows that I wouldn't be okay with the kind of conversations she had with other people in response to that story.

Naturally, I asked to see what she was talking about—just to understand what kind of conversations made her feel disloyal. She said she couldn’t show me, that they were just “normal convos.” I pushed a little because it didn’t sit right with me, and she still refused saying she can't.

So I hung up and told her we’d talk later, but now I’m sitting here overthinking everything.

I genuinely care about her. I’ve even seen her as someone I could marry one day. But now, this early in the relationship—during what people call the "honeymoon phase"—it feels off. I appreciate her honesty in admitting this, but at the same time, if she knew the convo would bother me, why entertain it at all?

I’m not sure what to do. My trust took a hit, and I don’t want to be in a relationship filled with doubt. This situation just feels... bad. To those with more relationship experience— Is this something we can work through, or is it a red flag that’ll only grow over time?
