Any advice on what I can do to get over my jealousy/insecurity issues? The guy that I am with is absolutely amazing. He treats me like gold and would do anything for me in the world but he used to have a lot of friends that were girls and that bothers me. He doesn't talk to many of them anymore but I cant help but wonder if he is still talking to them without me knowing. I'm usually not like this. I trust him and I know that guys and girls can be friends without having sex be an issue but I just don't know how to get past this. HELP!!!


Honestly, it sounds like you're paranoid.
He treats you well, he has distanced from his friends to make you happy, and I can't imagine what else you'd ask for from a guy.
You don't have the slightest bit of suspicious evidence of him even being close to other girls, much less cheating with them. Accept it, there's no other way to get over your insecurity.
Trust him! And ask yourself the question do you talk to male friends? If someone has said something to make this an issue are they really a friend or just trying to make mischief? If you say you trust him then do so not just say so.
I agree wit u and i feel i will have to take dis advice cause i'm in her shoes dis is really good advice
Don't fret. It's normal to feel this way, trust me. You just gotta look at things from an objective perspective. If you have guy friends, he must trust that you are loyal to him, and the idea of having other friend's (despite gender) is okay to him. Some guys (like my bf) get jealous, but he knows I wouldn't cheat, but even the thought of mentioning a guy friend would make him feel protective of me, because he feels insecure.
You gotta feel good about yourself, because if he treats you like gold, like you say- then you're a lucky girl! The only tips I can give you is 1) Think positive , and if you feel something is wrong, just ask him openly so you can clarify any misconceptions. 2) Don't assume! That's the biggest mistake people make when dealing with relationships. You gotta let your partner be honest, because honesty is the foundation for a long and lasting relationship.
I am not sure what else to say, because like you, I feel jealous at times, but you can't let jealousy get the best of a good relationship. :) I hope that helped.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I am glad to see that someone else has had the same issues. I worried about that for a long time. Most of my friends were guys and his were girls. But we made compromises and figured things out. As cheesy as it is to say, communication is key. Talk to him, if it's a true relationship then he will listen and you two will figure it out. Trust me, even though I am a stranger. Me and my boyfriend often sound like a forty year old couple in therapy when we talk things out. But I like that.
In a relationship, Trust is the foundation of a relationship, which is totally true.. Jealousy can ruin a relationship.. try to get a grip of yourself, those are just doubts and besides be grateful that he is taking care of your relationship by putting himself away from trouble.. By not talking to those girls, he knows and understands that in some ways its inappropriate for him and he doesn't want you to have doubts in him. Jealousy is normal but if you really do love him then trust him.
Oh I'm glad I'm not alone! My boyfriend has alot of friends that are girls. He talks to them sometimes. I used to have the same insecurities that they would flirt with him or him flirting with them. I trust him now and I know he won't do anything to hurt me.
Im in the same position here, i've talk to my boyfriend and told him i would like to meet his friends, so i can stop worrying...and i worry because almost all of his friends are exgirlfriends!!! the problem is that he wont introduce me to this friends...he says it is better to keep us apart because i could get mad or something...im pretty sure his friends know about me, but how can i trust him if he hides me from them? Or them from me...im not sure :(
Me too I 've got the same situation as u do. Most of my boyfren's friends are his ex girlfriends...I also get annoyed sometimes but when I come to realize the fact I notice though I m not in contact wid my ex boyfriends I have more male friends than he does...and like u he doesnt want to introduce me to his friends but is it only for the reason that I'll get mad or is he feels ashamed to make me introduced...I dont understand what I understand is that at least he is honest to me and tells me that he is still in contact wid his ex and that makes me feel happy....:)
I would say it is a red flag if your man doesn't want you to meet any of his female friends. If he doesn't want to show you off and how cool of a person you are then there is something funny going on and I would look to move on to someone who is proud to introduce you to anyone & everyone.
Same situation! All I can tell you is just try and put your logical thoughts before your emotional assumptions. It's a hard thing to do, but you have to catch yourself. If he's treating you like gold then he obviously thinks very highly of you. Just talk to him about it and get some clarification. Just remember, you are not alone! It's normal!!!
Word of Advice: CALM DOWN.
I know its hard to see another girl on his facebook wall or in his phone list...and all these thoughts of what if enter your mind..and it scares the living crap out of you to think of all these lies that race into your head as possiblities.
If you can't trust him...why date him? Isn't a relationship about building trust? Take off the bubble wrap and let him live his life.
If he loves you enough he will respect you and commit to you without flaw of cheating.
And if he does, girl he isnt meant for you. You're so much better than that.
listen to me. If a guy cheats its because he isn't satisfied. If he isn't satisfied with just you, then he isn't worth it!
You need to calm down and be patient. If you have a problem talk to your boyfriend, don't bottle it up. And stop putting walls up in front of him. A man hates to be controlled, anyone does.
Okay? <3
Unless your man has said or done things to make you suspicious, your jealousy is more about your relationship with yourself than you two as a couple. Back away from his computer and check out your own history. Were you betrayed in the past? Did you grow up in a household where the fidelity vows were broken? There might be ways in which you are allowing unresolved issues from your past to dictate your present behavior. If you don't feel you can overcome the green monster on your own, don't be afraid to reach out to a qualified counselor who can help you identify the sources of your insecurity and work through them.
Im so glad its not just me that feels like this, my boyfiend is an absolute angel to me and would drop the world 4 me. but he has these 2 girl mates and 4 sum reason i dont trust them, i no my boyfriend wouldnt cheat on me but something about these 2 girls doesnt sit rite with me and when they go out they go as a foursome with his mate and these 2 girls.... and I think thats a bit strange.
Plus i have guy mates and he thinks its impossible for a girl to have guy mates that dont fancy them!
I think its natural to be jealous sometimes, it just shows how much u care, just make sure you dont cross that fine line into psychoville, where u start checking txts and stalking ect:
OK SAME SITUATION!! WE ARE NOT EVEN A MONTH, WE MET OFF A CHATLINE & FOUND SOOO MUCH IN COMMON. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE ALOT OF CHATFRIENDS STILL LINGERING AROUND, IVE ANNOUNCED TO ALL MINE OF MY RELATIONSHIP W/HIM EVEN ON FB!! I HAVE HEARD HIM SAY TO HIS WHEN IM AROUND THAT IM HIS FRIEND. SO ON MYSIDE I HAVE A MAN, HIS SIDE HE HAS A FRIEND? NOW I FEEL LIKE HE'S TREATING ME LIKE ONE OF THEM GIRLS I SAW TREAT (BY FONE, & SHE'S MARRIED). I AM NOT JEALOUS!! JEALOUSY IS A WASTE OF MY ENERGY. BUT IM SUSPICIOUS BCUZ WE ARE IN DISAGREEMENT RITE NOW, & HE'S TREATING & COLD SHOULDERING ME LIKE THAT OTHER POOR SOUL!!
Just keep this in mind: No matter how many girls he talks to, or who is friends are, at the end of the day he's coming back to you.
Why are you jealous? If he treats you like gold, and has even stopped talking to all of his other girl friends FOR you, I'd say he's gone far beyond expected courtesy and has gone out of his way to make YOU happy. Chill out and appreciate this guy while you've got him, cause if you keep up the jealous rant, you'll lose him.
SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!! god I hate it when your bf talks with other girls. the worst is on his fb page....Im just waay too paranoid. Girl, he treats u like gold ! that's so incredible. Just enjoy the fact that u are being treated like a princess! I know it's hard when u are suspicious. But you never know what will happen tommorow. It's just life. CARPE DIEM! enjoy every moment while u still can!<3
its healthy for guys to have friends that are girls and vise versa. it means they can relate to the opposite sex and they have more of an understanding. I talk to many guys-some repulse me sexually but that doesnt mean i cant get along with them. he may feel the same way. maybe get to know some of the girls he talks to. they may be really great
