Hi Dreaming715,
First, you need to get out of the “comparison trap” many people put on a “mask” at parties. I see my very shy, somewhat introverted friends become the center of attention at parties. They do this, because they are lonely, do not have a boyfriend, want people to like them, so they will exaggerate charming stories so people will find them interesting and funny. However, as soon as they leave the party, they revert back to their former selves. Same with this girl at the party, maybe she too is lonely, has self esteem issues and puts on a different face in social situations to appear charming and likeable, however, no one knows what she is like behind closed doors. This is why you must not compare, because it will mess with you, and your self worth. You most likely have alot of qualities she wishes she has. Beauty is only skin deep, and I’m sure your boyfriend knows that. My ex used to “like” women’s pictures on Facebook, but he never flirted or corresponded with them, just as I am sure your boyfriend is not corresponding with that girl. He is moving in with you, not her, so he is not going anywhere and sees a future with you. I too have abandonment issues from early childhood, but you just have to ask yourself if your thoughts, are reality? Or just thoughts..and they are just thoughts.
