Was asked to post this here, and throwaway account btw!

For context, I've been dating my boyfriend (exclusively) for 4 months. A few weeks into seeing eachother he tells me he accepted a place on a course (for just 1 academic year) in a city an hour's drive from where we live. He clearly stated his intentions were to continue seeing me. All great, it's been working and is delightfully easy.

I completely understand he's meeting lots of new people on this course, which includes other girls. Not a problem, and I give him heaps of space as networking is a huge portion of the experience. A particular girl - for storytelling purposes we'll call her Beth- has taken a liking to my boyfriend and his two male housemates - she's kind of seeing one of the sluttier housemates apparently.

I was spending the weekend with my boyfriend, all cuddled up watching a Sunday night film when Beth called him about 7pm. His phone was connected to the Bluetooth speaker we were using for the movie sound and it announced her name. He muttered to himself 'what does she want' and explained to me before picking up the call Beth was seeing his housemate. The conversation, which he stayed in my earshot of, lasted less than 30 seconds. He said afterwards she was always after an invite over to their house, asked if he was busy and was checking in to see how he was as he's also alone this Christmas.

I was very nonchalant and said ohh that was sweet. Then carried on watching the film and acting normal when my hackles were raised on the inside.

He was extra kissy and affectionate post-call, maybe my poker face isn't as good as I think...

The next morning I brought it up and said it bugged me the girl who called you last night thought you were alone this Christmas, you know you're very much not alone right? He said of course he knows he's not alone and the call was more of a cry for help from her. I left it there and he probed further asking if that was all that was bugging me. I said nope, just the alone comment, I trust you.

Kind of wish I asked him to expand on the cry for help response he gave and to see if she actually knew about me.

Naturally, being a bit jealous / curious I've since peeped at Beth's socials. My god she's the poster pickme girl with "hanging out with her boys" (my boy and his housemates in a group) snaps and boobs out every other square. I noticed there were zero photos of girl mates / literally anything else, save for selfies or boys which adds to the weird vibe.

I know I'm going to be meeting this chick at some point soon so am interested how the ladies of FDS would handle it.

My instinct is to smother these types of girls with kindness to outwardly show being totally unbothered. I might be wrong though!
