Hi everyone,

I (22F) am a bit confused about a situation with my boyfriend (24M) and would really appreciate some outside perspective.

We broke up for a short period of time. During that time, the first person he started talking to was a girl from our university who looks extremely similar to me. People constantly mix us up, and even say that the way we talk is very alike.

I’ve never personally interacted with this girl, but she’s somewhat known around campus for being involved in drama. My boyfriend had also never interacted with her before this, and he knew me long before her.

From what I understand, they only talked for about 1–2 days and then stopped because of her impulsive behavior. After some time passed, my boyfriend and I got back together.

Now I’m not sure how I should feel about it. It feels a bit strange to me that he immediately went for someone who looks so much like me, but at the same time, I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or if it actually means something.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any thoughts on this?

TL;DR: My boyfriend talked to a girl who looks almost identical to me right after we broke up, and I don’t know if that’s weird or if I’m overthinking it.

Hey everyone,

(22F) need an outside perspective because I don’t know if I’m overreacting.

My boyfriend (24M) and I broke up for a short time. During that period, the first person he started talking to was a girl from our university who looks REALLY similar to me, like people constantly confuse us, and even our way of talking is apparently similar.

I’ve never interacted with this girl, but she’s kind of known around campus for being involved in drama. Also, my boyfriend had never talked to her before this, and he knew me long before her.

From what I know, they only talked for about 1–2 days and then stopped because of her impulsive behavior. After some time, my boyfriend and I got back together.

I can’t tell if I’m being unreasonable, but it feels weird to me that he immediately went for someone who looks so much like me. Part of me thinks maybe it means he wasn’t over me, but another part of me feels uncomfortable about it.

So AITAH for feeling weird about this situation?
