Q: Jealousy Issues, Need Advice
asked by: samba88 on December 19th, 2007

Hi, I've been with my girlfriend for a few months over a year. She's my second really serious love and I am absolutly mad about her, she and I work together in nearly everyway, and I don't plan on being with anyone else. We have pretty good communication and she has indicated that she feels the same way towards me. Now there is a problem that lies within myself and I'm worried that I may be a hazard to our relationship and my own worst enemy. Down to the issue in short I am a pretty jealous guy, not the violent I'm going to kick some ass jealous guy, the "you really dont need me around so I'll just go" immature sort of jealous. I really hate it and absolutly wish i wasn't this way. The weird thign about it is that I'm dead sure that she will be faithfull to me, she would never lie to me, and she geniuenlly loves me (I believe anyway). The bulk of my jealousy lies within her friends. She ha much moe guy friends then girls bc she finds guys are easier to hang out with bc they casue less drama (haha perfect woman right) but at that extent I HATE seeing photos of her with these guys or when she spends time with them, or when she does anything with them really. I know its stupid and we have talked about it and we always end up in a big fight when i bring it up. When she hangs out with them without me i feel like i dont exisit and that she doesnt need me at all and that im just another person she can hang out with, i dont feel anymore special then any of them. Shes told me I'm being stupid and i guess i am but i simply cant help that my emotions get the best of me. If anyone can help me prevent such intense feelings of anger, jealousy, and sadness in this situation please do, because I dont want it to get out of hand and be the death of such a wonderful relaionship i have with this girl.

I will be completely honest with you...

From what you wrote you sound a bit needy, you need the constant reassurance that YOU are the number one in her life. You are un-confident in yourself and in your relationship, which is causing you to feel this way. If you really trust her you need to know that she will come back to you and not run off with another guy. If the relationship is truly wonderful, then put a little faith in it and just let things alone. By picking at her for having male friends you are just going to harm the relationship.

Has she given you any reason that you think she does not deserve your trust? If not then you need to give her the benefit of the doubt.

To sum it up, be confident in yourself and your relationship and things will look brighter

I agree with WHATURMUVA... if you love her you will enjoy the times together and miss her when she is not there. The worst thing you can do is always question her love... if she is not thinking of doing half the things you think she is doing, trust me you are giving her a reason. You can't live you life wondering of the things she's doing or is going to do. My suggestion... get a hobby that you really like and try not to think about her so much. Make yourself appreciate you for you... Love yourself and don't pick on the things you don't like, look at all the good things you have to offer for each other... GOOD LUCK.

Well, the truth can hurt but you do prove a good point, I know the first step in fixing an issue is realizing you have one, so i'll take your advice and work on not being "needy" as you put it, that makes me feel pathetic and i dont want that. As for hobbies I have lots of those, some i share with her so no problem there. Thanks though i think ths might help.
