ok me and my boyfriend love eachother alot but hes the jealouse type. i mean he doesnt have a fit but like when i talk to a guy he gets jealous. like ok today me and my guy friend zak were talking about how zzk was looking at my butt at lunch but it was a total joke we were just playing around but my bf came up behind us and heard and started pushing and hitting zak. and i have talked to him and told him im nto flirting but he still refuses to listen. like and its hard cause most of my bff's are guys. what should i do cause i cant take the pressure of not being able to talk to my bffs and having to hide when i do. i mean i love him and i cant break up with him and i know if he really liked me and trusted me then he wouldnt worry but he trust me i know its just hes jealouse and i cant take not talking to my freidns cause of him. what should i do?

If he loves you, he needs to trust you and he needs to be okay with you having any friends you want. It sounds like he is really insecure, but that's his issue, not yours, and he needs to work on it. Maybe he's jealous because he's afraid he'll lose you, but his jealous behavior is making it MORE likely that he'll lose you. [ manifesta's advice column | Ask manifesta A Question ]
