A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hello to everyone reading this,

I would like some advice please, I am not sure if I am just over thinking this situation or if there really is a situation here that needs dealin with.

My partner and I have been together for four years and we have a 2 year old, he also has a 10 year old from a previous relationship with his ex.

He and I went abroad for some alone time and when we returned home I was lookin at our pictures together, in almost every picture I was the one who had my arm around him.

His hand that was closest to me which he could have easily put around me was instead pushed over his lap and his outer arm was used to touch my arm.. He looks uncomfortable, his smile looks like it's being forced to me.

His body is towards me but his head is tilted away from mine and that stands out in a lot of our pictures.

Among some of the pictures in the camera were of his other child's birthday, I saw a picture of him and his ex with their child and his head was tilted towards hers and he was standing so close to her their arms were touching.

I should add that he and his ex argue over what's app and via phone almost three times a week from morning to night and then they make up. This happens regularly.

Also one day I saw in his what's app he sent her a song at 4am which in the lyrics said 'baby, I've come to my senses and do you know how much I wanna make love to you' I saw her response said 'stop it' he then messaged her back that he was just seeing if she had ever heard of that song.

I have also seen messages after that point he has sent her and they seem as if they are only being written to make her jealous, stuff like how much he loves me and it seems he is trying to wind her up as she is single.

Do you think I am reading too much into this and am being paranoid I thinking my partner may still have feelings for his ex?

Should I address this with him?

A reader, anonymous, writes (24 January 2015):

I think you are over thinking the pictures. Yes body language is a thing, but do you remember what had happened during those pictures? Had you both just argued? Had something just happened? That could have explained why he was sat the way he was.

If you honestly feel there could be something going on, confront him. But when you do, make sure you have thought about what you're going to say, thoroughly. You don't want to be half way through talking about this, and then lose track, it'll give your partner the chance to undermine you or god knows what.

Hope it works out for you
