My boyfriend and I have been going out for awhile. And we have a certain group of friends that we hang out with. The point is that he spends more time with my best friend than he spends with me. They both say that they could never do something like cheat behind my back. I trust them but sometimes I wonder if they really could be masking my eyes with their friendly words. How can I just get over this jealousy phase?

AskTammy answered Friday March 31 2006, 6:08 am: Truthfully, if he's your boyfriend he should be absolutely pining over you and worshipping the ground you walk on. If he seems to be more infatuated with your friend than you, chances are you're right ( women's intuition). I would start being really standoffish with him and give him the idea that you're starting to dump him. When he gets worried and comes to you asking what's going on, tell him that you feel he's being disrespectful to you by spending more time with your friend than you and that you recognize he can do whatever he wants but you're not going to waste your precious time over someone who doesn't completely respect you and isn't totally into you. Tell him that maybe its just the wrong timing, and then sit back and wait. If he's cool with this or gets defensive- it was never meant to be. If he's a gentleman and apologizes for disrespecting or hurting your feelings, says he didn't know he was doing it, and begs for you back promising to mend his way, take him back.

If he wont go for it then try hanging out with him. Jealousy is not such a bad thing. Maybe you just can not trust him. There are always other guys to date.
