I am currently in a 7 months long distance relationship with my boyfriend and he is a 2 hour flight away from me.
Which isn’t a big deal. We see each other every month or at least within 2 months.

But because he is working full time and me still going to school, working and having a 2 year old child (not his) it’s a little harder to see each other.

But me personally I struggle with it because I miss him so much and I’m so happy to see him and talk to him.

At home I feel so much pressure and kind of sad and closed out. I really don’t like my city never have.

And sometimes it feels worse, because of the choices I made. Having a child this young while still in school. (I love my child really so much and I enjoy every second of it but it also feels like I took my own freedom away)
Also not being able to switch schools so I can study online.

My parents do help me when I want to go to my boyfriend. But it is the planning with the child and work and school everything is sometimes so much.

How do other people do this? How did you handle ldr with a child and what did your boyfriend think of it?

I met my current boyfriend (27 M) about a year ago. He is fun to be around, a little strict, dominant, and a natural leader. It's everything... his mindset, character and of course his appearance what attracts me. He is different he's wiser, learning me valuable life lessons etc.

But recently someone expected reappeared.

I think in 2022 he added me on Snapchat, I didn't add him back because I found his profile picture weird. And later he followed me on Instagram and I followed him back. We exchanged a few messages back then, but nothing really came of it. He used to like my stories often and randomly wished me a happy new year and Christmas.

A few weeks ago, I unexpectedly ran into him at a local place. It was the first time I ever saw him in person. He walked over to me and asked me if we knew each other. The moment he started to talk to me, I immediately thought about my boyfriend. Because I knew he wouldn't appreciate it if I kept entertaining the conversation. So I decided to keep my answers short by not asking anything back in return. So the conversation could end naturally.

Yet, ever since that brief interaction, I keep thinking about him. So I looked up his online behavior by just his first name and Insta (private account and I don't follow him anymore). The only thing I know about him. The exact same picture of the Snapchat account came up (the Snap account I can't find anymore).

It's frustrating because I don't actually want anything from him. I think it's simply my mind becoming curious about someone who suddenly appeared after years of being nothing more than a name on a screen. Sometimes I wonder if I overthink the situation.

Maybe it's our minds trying to fill in the blanks whenever something remains unknown. I find that part of myself incredibly annoying. But curiosity doesn't always ask for permission. Am I wrong? Should I reach out? Or am I overthinking this situation?

TDLR: I'm in a happy relationship with an amazing boyfriend. A guy I briefly knew online years ago unexpectedly approached me in public, and I kept the conversation short out of respect for my boyfriend. Ever since, I can't stop wondering about him—not because I want to be with him, but because my mind is fixated on the mystery of someone I never really got to know. Would it be wrong to reach out, or is this just normal curiosity?

Am I wrong? Should I reach out? What do you think when reading this?

What would you do in this situation? would you reach out? Please any advice.
