Advice Please....

[XR6_661]

I think it must have been a year ago to this date I had problems with another girlfriend.

Now I'm calling on my ford family to offer me some advice with a problem I am having at the moment. No matter how lame or stupid it may seem, please, it's a serious thing for me. So if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything.

Over the last few months, me and my girlfriend have been having BBQs, etc with a group of our friends, one of which is my best mate, let's call him 'Larry' for this.

Now, I knew that my girlfriend and larry started becoming pretty good friends, ya know, I'm cool with that! We all need friends right? Anyways, this past sunday, I was with her, all she did was clutch onto her phone all day, texting. She would angle the phone away from me when she was texting as if to hide the screen for me, and I caught a glimpse of her inbox, it was filled with messages from larry...like a huge amount of messages. And she wasn't like texting every hour or so, it was every 5-10mins she'd get a text and reply. Ok, so I got a bit suss about that...Kept on asking her who she was texting, "oh, just texting Jodie." or "Just texting Lisa." Which I know she wouldn't have been because one of those girls was away and the other one was at work.

Next time I saw her was tuesday afternoon, Walk into her house and up to her room, caught her by suprise and she was on msn, I could see the screen and she was talking to larry, she very very quickly typed something to him, and closed the convo but didn't close msn...I thought fair enough, maybe she just said I'll be right back or something...BUT she continued to talk to 3 other people on msn while I was there....Larry's convo didn't pop up again at all. No later than 5 minutes after I saw her rush to close his convo, her phone goes off, I catch a glimpse and it was a message from larry. I didn't see what it said...Dropped her off to work that afternoon and that was that.

Saw her again last night for the whole late night shopping thing. Get to her place, and once again, she is texting turning the screen away from me. I ask who she is texting politely and she just says "oh oh Jodie." I just ok and left it at that. Anyways, we were driving into town and she had her phone out, I said, "ya still texting?" and she said 'oh no, just looking in my phone'. I could clearly see the message screen was up and at the top it said the recipient was larry. I just didn't say anything. The whole night she seemed a bit off...just really jumpy and on edge. Then when we are going home she says, 'Oh, larry said no bbq on this weekend' Which is highly unusual, because he always always texts me stuff like that, and only me. We've been friends since grade 6 after all. I said ah ok, fair enough. So the next 30mins she spent on her phone texting, who else but larry.

Anyways, we get back to hers at about 9. First thing she does is get her laptop out. While she is on the laptop, I calmly grab her phone and start to look at it, she quickly snatches it off me and I said, 'Aren't I allowed to look at your new phone?' To which I got no reply....I say to her, 'ah well, it's getting a bit late, I better go home.' I get up and go to give her a hug and a kiss, and msn goes off, she quickly jumps to the comp, I look over and it's a convo with larry, she closes it very quickly, puts her hand on my back, and practically pushes me out of the room...

I kept on dropping big hints to her last night when I got home that I was worried something was up, kept on asking her if there was anything on her mind. Apprently she says all is well, etc etc. And it's also just really little things as well...like she always says, 'oh whats larry up to.' or 'are we going to larry's this week?'
Even on saturday night, I offered to take her to a 5 star resturant, go for a walk on the beach or see a movie or something, then go back to mine and have a night together, just the two of us. Reason also being it was our 10 months on saturday...She got angry and turned down my offer, and said she wanted to go drinking at larry's instead. There is also the 'usual' protectiveness of the phone and all that...

Please someone give me some advice...It's eating me up pretty bad. Not just the fact that it's suss, and it seems like something is going on, but the fact that it could possibly be something with my childhood friend. Eventually, I think I'm just going to have to approach both of them and tell them how I feel, etc, and if there IS anything going on, to tell me. I just wanna cover all my bases first though...Do you guys think what I said above is reason enough to be worried??

She means the world to me this girl, I really hope I'm just being paranoid.

Thanks a heap guys..
