Jealousy.. :\


Question Posted Sunday May 11 2008, 1:21 am

16/f

I've been dating my boyfriend for a year now and lately I've been having crazy jealousy issues. I really have no reason to be jealous or suspicious of him because he's never really done anything to make me not trust him (that I know of). See, he's a year older than me, I'm a sophomore and he's a junior, and for half of the day he's at a different school than I am. There's a girl that goes there that also attends our school that I think he talks to. I'm weirdly jealous of this and thinking about her makes me angry. I don't even really know her other than she was in one of my classes. I always have these dreams that he leaves me for her. He denies that he even talks to her, which I know isn't true. Today we were at the store and she was there and she waved to him. It seems pretty harmless, but I got really upset.

I can't stand feeling like this :\ I get really jealous and I know it has to do with my own insecurities. But if he doesn't talk to her, and what he says is true, then this isn't fair for him.

So I suppose my question is, how would I go about getting over this stupid jealousy problem?

please help :[

Additional info, added Sunday May 11 2008, 4:40 pm:
Another thing that's been bothering me like crazy is the fact that he's going to college before I am. He already has his school picked out and it's in a neighboring state. It isn't too far away, about an hour and a half, but I get really worried and upset when I think about him leaving. I know whenever I catch myself thinking about him being gone, I remind myself that we still have a year together before I should even worry about it. But what I'm really concerned about is him being away and doing stuff behind my back, like drinking and sleeping with some girl because he knows he could totally get away with it. Of course, there are things that may happen down the road where we may break up, but assuming we'll still be together, this is really hard for me.

All of this worrying and letting my imagination get the best of me is really sucking the fun out of our relationship.. we've been fighting more frequently and he questions why I'm still around if i'm not happy.

I just really need some advice on clearing my head of all these thoughts. I need to learn how to let go and enjoy what we have. If you have any answers or advice, please let me know

thanks a lot

The jealousy is natural but you need to change your reaction to it. When you go out if he is paying attention to you, you are missing it because you are too busy looking at who is looking at him. Enjoy your time together today, quit forseeing problems, If you make him happy right now guess who will be on his mind tomorrow. You are making memories right now, make the ones that you both wanna reminise. Enjoy him like he seems to be trying to enjoy you. Keep nagging him and you will soon have no one to nag and all he will remember will be the nagging and that will not bring him back. If you really like him quit sabotaging yourself

I dated a guy for 2 two years, and I started to get jelous alot at the end. Every girl he talked to I assumed he had a crush on. I would ask him he would say no. Apart of me knew he wasn't lieing but a BIGGER part of me was jelous because I thought maybey they liked him. But I can't control that.
Over the last few weeks of our relationship I was a jelous freak you could say. But turns out guys HATE that. He dumped me for my bff, and I was left with tears.
So my advice is to stop acting jelous it's one thing to be jelous but it's another to act on it. DON'T question him or ask around or confront the other girl. IF he is cheating you'll find out soon enough. But if you wanna keep this relationship STOP. Just be his bff/girlfriend. Go on dates and be flirty and you'll make it through his college years. Lol GOOD LUCK

you can never really get over jealously, as long as you love someone you're always going to be a little jealous of the other girls that they talk to. if you two have been dating for a year then you know that he must love you a lot and i doubt that he would lie to you about this girl. you just need to realize that he wouldn't stay with you for a year just to leave you for some girl that he says he doesn't even talk to. you just need to trust him because if you act insecure it might drive him away.

i hope i helped.
