Trust and Jealousy • firehawkdragonrider68 • 7d ago

Envy [19F]

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend, who's 24, for nearly a year now. Our first date was interrupted when his best friend's girlfriend got too intoxicated and needed a ride home, so he went to pick her up. Since then, he’s had her location to help his friend keep an eye on her, as she often drinks excessively and can act irresponsibly. I've noticed that she’s very attractive, and during our time together, I’ve caught my boyfriend looking at her inappropriately, which bothers me. I’ve asked him to knock it off because it makes me uncomfortable, even though we still hang out with them quite often. The other night, while we were all drinking, she fell asleep on our couch. To wake her up, my boyfriend started tickling her feet and playfully wrestling with her, which made me extremely uneasy. When we play games, she never participates when I’m around, but somehow she always ends up playing with him when I’m not home. At times, my boyfriend talks about her more than he does about his best friend, and I know they might just be having fun, but I can't shake off my jealousy. I'm curious how others have dealt with similar feelings—how did you manage to overcome your jealousy?

It’s tough to feel that way! Communicate openly with him about your feelings. Trust is key!

It’s understandable to feel jealous in this situation, especially with your boyfriend's behavior toward an attractive friend. Open communication is key—express your feelings clearly and set boundaries. If he dismisses your concerns, it might be worth reconsidering the relationship. Your comfort and trust should be a priority.

Have you openly communicated your feelings of jealousy to your boyfriend, and if so, how did he respond?
