Ok so me and my boyfriend live about 40 min apart and he has a job. Needless to say, we only see eachother like once or twice a week. Anyway, that leaves us texting pretty much everyday throughout the day. I'm just wondering why is it that, when texting, if I happen to text back slow (10-20min) he gets pissed at me, yet, he sometimes takes up to an hour to text me back and always says "i hope your not mad" or something like that. So, it's ok for him to do it but I can't? What is that about?? He told me flat out that he's the jealous type of guy, does that have anything to do with it?

Call him out on it and tell him you do not like how it's okay for him to do it and you can't. If he brings up the jealous thing, tell him that's just an excuse to get out of it.

Also I don't to start a fight between you guys but you need to tell him that he needs to relax and just like sometimes he might be busy and can't text you; you have priorities too. I'm just saying because I used to be like that and I used to get mad at my ex for not testing me back until one day I sat and thought about it and he had 2 jobs so he was busy a lot and he couldn't text me the second he recieved my text messages. Sorry to blab but yeah let him that sometimes you can't attend to the phone as quick as he wants you to because there are days that he can't either. Hope I helped a little...

40 minutes is stretch, Once or twice a week is a drag. If it bothers you that he gets angry then you need to tell him that he can't always expect you to text back right away. You have things to do and take care of just as well as he does. Reassure him that you will text him back as soon as you have a free moment on your hands.
On the other hand if you boyfriend's jealousy doesn't lighten up your relationship may die out because like I said above many times jealousy turns into controlling. Nobody wants to be controlled in a relationship, Also after a while I'd imagine you'd get sick and tired of being accused of possibly cheating or talking to someone else because your boyfriend doesn't trust you.
