jealousy

[xpunkskaterx]

I always get jealous when my girlfriend hangs around other guys. My g/f's best friend has a brother who is 16 (my age) Anyways, she'll go stay the night at her house while he is there. I know she'd never do anything with him, but they talk and stuff. But my g/f, her friend, and her brother will stay up to 5 a.m. watching movies and stuff. And i guess jealous. Its really annoying because i know she'd never cheat on me or anything, but i get mad anywayz. When i talk to her about it she just says "hes only a friend" and stuff. But shes says hes funny, and he has nice hair, an hes cool and stuff. Am i the only one who gets jealous like this?

Jealousy is a problem a lot of people deal with. It just takes time for the feeling to pass. Patience is a virtue

You are not alone... but your jealousy is still unreasonable, and it has the potential to ruin the relationship. Bottom line, by being jealous you are telling her that you do not trust her. You are also saying that your feelings about this matter are more important than hers. She wants to be with her friends and is also friendly with the brother. Should she set aside those relationships to make you feel more comfortable?

Learn to be more trusting, or you are goiing to chase her away.

Jealousy is only where there's competition.

Talk to her in a calm way and see what she says. Maybe she can put off complimenting him to you while you ease out of your jealousy. You know it is unfounded, but it also doesn't just 'disappear.' Let her know that you do trust her, but are uncomfortable with (fill in the blank). Maybe you can befriend this guy and see why she wants him as a friend. Good luck.
