is he jealous?


Question Posted Saturday November 12 2011, 5:38 am

hi, me and my boyfriend been dating for fourteen months and we live together. it's just that, sometimes when he sees me texting, he asks me, who's that? you texting your boyfriend? and i told him that's very mean thing to say as u r my boyfriend, and he goes and laugh, says he's only joking. he also says, he doesn't care who i text and he's not bothered but still keeps asking who am i texting. guys, so is he jealous or just winding me up? thank you all.

It sounds to me like he is just taking an interest. My boyfriend used to do that kind of thing too and I am totally cool with it because I have nothing to hide from him, which is something he is not used to because his ex-wife hid things from him and that made him curious. One day he did find out she was having an online affair so I know that it is important to him that I tell him. It isn't a matter of 'he doesn't trust me', at the end of the day I'm doing nothing wrong and sometimes it helps communication if he knows what's going on between you and your friends and family.
From your post he doesn't sound jealous, I really think it is a case of curiosity and wanting to know you better.

He could be just joking around because he's nosy. It seems more like he's trying to get you to pay more attention to him instead of texting during that time or something. My boyfriend talked to me about that because he felt awkward when I'm texting when I'm with him.
If it bothers you just tell him to stop asking or something.

If it bothers you then tell him that it bothers you, If someone constantly asked who I was texting I'd probably get irritated after awhile as it'd begin to get annoying. Sounds like he is more insecure then jealous.

He's probobly just curious!
If he was seriosly worried he'd like destroy the phone or something. maybe he's hinting that when your with him he'd prefer it if you wern't always texting whoever. When he says he doesn't care it means he does probobly care, but if he lets you know this then you'll think he's paranoid/controlling.
I wouldn't let it bother you :)

Possibly..Could just be that he's nosey, though! Sometimes I ask my boyfriend who he's texting, not because I'm jealous, for the simple fact I'm a bit nosey :P Then again, when I'm with my mates, I do the same thing.
Does he act jealous with anything else? Like asking where you are and who you're with a lot?
Have you actually asked him? Next time he says it, say "why do you need to know, you're sounding a little jealous" (in a light hearted, jokey way) and see how he responds.
