boyfriend is acting strange
Can someone explain my boyfriends behavior?I had been out of work for a really long time and i finally got a job as a sales rep in a large superstore. At first he was excited for me and said "well I hope everything works out for you".
Now heres where it gets strange. I had my first shift 3 nights ago and I told him how nice everyone was and I much fun I was having. He didnt sound happy at all and just said in an unfriendly tone "oh I guess things are working out for you". I don't understand , wouldnt he be happy for me? The only thing I can think of is he might be worried I'll meet a guy at work.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with him?

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
He's either jealous, worried you'll meet a guy (as you stated), or perhaps he thinks you're not spending enough time with him? There are a lot of things it could be. It could be that he thinks you're too good for him. It could be he's just in a weird mood. You should talk to him about this and listen to what he has to say.

Are you making more money than him? Does he have a job? If he does, is he happy there? Was he pulling for the Houston Astros in the world series? Are you likely to fuck some other guy at work? I don't have any answers for you, but these are questions you need to think about here.

Dear My boyfriend is acting strange,
No, only your b/f can explain his behavior. I can speculate but the other Advicenators pretty much did that.
I can give you some advice on how to approach this with your b/f.
Start with telling him that you love him and ask him what's wrong. Ask him why at first he was happy for you and now he doesn't seem that thrilled. If he tells you nothing is wrong, then leave it at that. Maybe he was just having a bad day and didn't want to hear about you having a good day.
In a situation like this communication and honesty are very important. You should definitely talk to your boyfriend though.
Good Luck, I hope this helped :)
Sincerely,
Honestymatters

Answer: I think your boyfriend might be jealous. This could be for several different reasons... maybe he is unhappy with his job and feels you are rubbing it in because you are so pleased with your own job. Or maybe since he is not getting to spend as much time with you, having you sound so happy about it makes him feel hurt. I really don't think it has to do with other men unless you implied that, unless he is REALLY paranoid.
You deserve to be happy, and wanting to have him share in that happiness is understandable. I think your boyfriend is being a tad immature about the whole situation. Even if he was feeling a bit jealous, he could have kept it to himself. Ask him why he reacted that way. When you come home from your job, say sweet things like, "I love my job, but I love spending time with you even more." I think that will help ease the pain. *wink*
Anyways, congrats for getting a job you love!
