I have been feeling super jealous lately. I don't know why, I'm not usually like this. It all started when my boyfriend said he was going to get drinks with co-workers after work last friday. Most of them women. And I just didn't like that he was going without me. (I work late and couldn't go) What's more is that he didn't even tell me he was going until I asked him to do something after work. Also he carpools with this girl, who almost never pays him gas money, and I find out that she went to the bar after work two Fridays ago, and he bought her nearly $30 in drinks.

Anyways, I told him that I really dont like what's happening and I would prefer he doesn't go for drinks after work. Carpooling is one thing but alcohol doesn't need to be involved. And he said in a nutshell, too bad you need to trust me. Like, I do trust him but what he's doing makes me so uncomfortable, and he just thinks I'm overreacting.

Btw, I'm 21 my bf is 24. Together 5 years.

I need some advice here. Should I be feeling like this? Am I overreacting? Or am I right to feel this way? I just don't know. (link)
"Too bad you don't trust me" invalidates your feelings and sounds like he'll do whatever he wants regardless of how it makes you feel. Go to a bar with dudes, let them buy you enough drinks to get sloppy and see if it bothers him. If it doesn't make him correct how he acts, he's not at all jealous--either because he's that free spirited and trusting or because he's more interested in this other chick.

Thanks that's how I feel too. And I mean he is a nice guy, but I feel like there's only one reason a guy buys a girl that many drinks. He said that she paid him back in gas money, I just feel like it's super shady, that he got her drunk and then drove her home. Ugh. Thanks for the answer though
