Question Posted Wednesday September 12 2007, 11:09 pm
My ex and I have had a long history together. Over a year and some months. So we are pretty close even after that. I was giving him advice about his girlfriend. She just started high school. She's rather immature and flirty. He talked to her about it and things changed but the flirting.
Today my boyfriend told me that they have a class together. For some reason my ex's girlfriend bit my boyfriend in a playful way. My ex and I= both jealous types. I was going to tell off my ex to keep his girlfriend under control but he didn't know about this. So he doesn't know what to do. Last night, she opened up and told him everything... then she did this flirty thing.
Any advice? I know it's hard to date someone who is flirtatious. But she had a crush on my boyfriend and I'll like it if she could keep her hands off of him. She doesn't seem to understand that..
If power and attention are what she wants, you'd be giving her plenty of both if you confront her about a bite. Espcailly since you only heard about it second hand. She'll have a great time ticking you off right in front of your face next time!
So ignore her. You can't change her. Niether can your ex.
Talk to your boyfriend about your concerns. You can't tell him not to talk to her, or be friends with her, but you can tell him that you feel she crosses the bounderies and that it makes you upset and uncomfortable. You can suggest to him what he might be able to do to help you feel more comfortable. Try to be clear and realistic. Ask him not to seek being in the same work group as her, or to tell her to back off when she gets to close.
Listen to what he has to say about her as well. It's important you know where he feels the bounderies are in your relationship.
Your boyfriend probably appercaites the attentio and there is nothing wrong with that. Honestly, if someone flirted with you you would probably be flattered too and wouldn't want to insult them. But He is the only one with the power to make it stop, by telling her he doesn't appercaite it. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

Don't be rude just nicely ask her about the situation and is she admits to it than I would tell her to quit flirting with your bf when she already has her own.
Hope this helped:) [ hannah17's advice column | Ask hannah17 A Question ]
