3. He Used to Hook Up with One of His Friends
If learning of this closer-than-close friendship set off the sounds of a fire alarm in your head, don’t freak out—just yet. Sure, no one wants to hear that their beau once wrestled tongues with someone they still talk to and hang out with all the time, but try as best as you can to remind yourself that he’s now with you, and for a reason. “If every time you’re around the two of them you feel uncomfortable, it could mean that maybe there is more to their chemistry than they’re leading on,” says Michael. “But if the only thing that’s igniting your jealousy is the knowledge that they were once a thing, give him the benefit of the doubt.” The more you’re around the two of them, the more you can see that their relationship is truly platonic (or not).
