My boyfriend's dying of jealousy over nothing

Tagged as: Dating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (24 July 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 24 July 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *ewbern writes:

The other day my boyfriend had a chat with one of my girl friends and she made the stupid mistake of telling him out of our group of mates I'm the one who always gets chatted up when out with the girls.

Aside from not being too happy with her...I also had to endure him turning all stroppy for a full day. We already stopped going clubbing together because every time he went to the bar or the loo he'd get back finding that I was being chatted up by some men.

Now he's insisting I tone done my clothes when I go out. For instance, he thinks wearing long french manicure nails and really high heels are both magnets for men.

I told him there's no way I'll change the way I am. I'm always very friendly, and I admit sometimes that gets mistaken for "flirtatious" and though I'm guilty of slipping up in the past, I haven't cheated on him for a while now.

How can I stop him from being so jealous???

You had me till you mentioned that you HAD slipped up in the past and hadn't cheated on him "for a while now".

He has justification for being protective of you.

I think that, if you really want to make him less jealous, there has to be a bit of compromise on your part to show him that you do care about him and the relationship.

We all love any attention from the opposite sex, but i think you may have to curve the 'chatting up' bit at clubs. That makes it sound like you don't necessarily turn away any guys that show an interest in you.

Nothing wrong with dressing the way you want, but you have to stand up and show that you're devoted to this relationship, otherwise you'll lose him.
