'[He] has a key to her apartment': Boyfriend co-parents dog with his ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend suspects cheating when she finds out he has unrestricted access to her home and likes all her selfies

We agree that when you adopt a dog, it's a commitment for life. We also truly see our dog as our child, so in the case that we would get a divorce from our husband, we would also want to "co-parent" our canine child. So, on one hand, we understand where the boyfriend below is coming from. He didn't want to give up his connection with his canine child, but that's not actually what went wrong here. He stayed friends with his ex (also not a problem for us), but not only are they friends, but he has a key to her house, and hangs out there all the time. Rightfully so, his new girlfriend was pretty suspicious.

The lack of boundaries between these two is certainly startling. We understand being friends with your ex, but having unrestricted access to their house? Going to hang out there while waiting for his current girlfriend to get out of work? It's definitely not an easy pill to swallow. On the outside, it seems harmless, right? Their connection is the dog, and they're still friends after.

But when you look closer, you see a parade of red flags. We won't get into all the juicy details, but you should read them below and draw a conclusion for yourself. If it were us, we would end the relationship. They may not be doing anything sinister, but they're certainly not over each other.

Having a key to someone's apartment is a big deal. People wait years before giving out keys, and this guy has a key to his recently broken up with girlfriend. As the current girlfriend, we would also be skeptical of what was really going on there.

There are different types of cheating, and not all of them are physical. Having an unhealthy attachment to your ex may not look like cheating, but to us, it could count as emotional infidelity.
