writes:I was at work and started talking to a customer on the phone. He was very nice and we had a great conversation and laugh with something totally not related to work. I told my boyfriend about it after the fact as he was asking me how my day at work went. As I enthusiastically told my boyfriend over the phone, I noticed he didn't comment much, just acknowledge that he heard me. I told my co-worker today about the conversation I had with the customer, and she said: Oh, if I tell your boyfriend, he will probably be not very happy. Do you think my boyfriend's mad? What should I do now? But at the same time, maybe it's good that he knows I can be quite attractive to other guys....

 whether or not he has the right to be mad is never the most important thing with guys or girls or anybody. IS he mad? is a different question to, does he hve the right to be mad? No, he doesn't have the right to be mad.
Maybe he is mad - ask him. just ask him. and if he says no, let it blow over on its own - if it was serious he'd probably tell u. And if he says yes - wahey, he's mad, talk through it.
best of luck.

Its normal for his jealous streak to kick in and sometimes (in some situations) its ok for a girl to push it, but go too far and you may regret it. He will eventually reach his limit and jealousy can cause so much damage, even the smallest thing could set it off.I know you've done no wrong and your boyfriend should see this, at least try and understand him and maybe rubbing the slat in the wound wasn't what he needed?! I get what you meant though and you shouldn't feel guilty, its innocent, he cant expect you to spend your life devoted to him without so much as a conversation to the opposite sex. Some people handle jealousy differently you will in time see his set ways and learn to deal with them. And the occasional push to the limit is ok but when you reach that peak i really would let it go, imagine if it was the other way round i doubt you'd be loving the fact that he went on about another girl etc.Couples know how to push each others buttons and it can be fun to an extent, know when to stop though. In answer to your question, yes hes probably mad (with no reason as youve done no wrong, harmful flirting never hurt a soul..) It is good that hes aware that your attractive to other guys but im sure he can see this for himself without there any need for you to prove it! Dont let it bother you itll pass.

 He might be bothered that another guy was chatting you up, but he needs to realize that there was nothing going on about it. You were open and honest. Would he be with a dull, unattractive, apathetic girl? No, so he needs to get used to the idea that sometimes guys are going to talk to you, and yes, you will be polite and talk back.
His feathers were just ruffled, he'll be fine. And if he can't get over it, then don't bend over backwards to his jealousy. Find a guy that trusts in you.
