Jealous Boyfriend?

Philippines
March 6, 2009 3:33am CST
A little jealousy could be cute sometimes and may also be assuring that your boyfriend really loves you but what do you do if his jealousy is too much? What if he checks all your mails, and don't let you erase all the archives in your online messenger so that he could check? What if he even goes jealous to your guy friends? Have you ever had a jealous boyfriend? What was your usual reaction when he starts to act jealous?

I only had one boyfriend and he's my husband now. He's not the jealous type. Actually, I am the jealous one. But, that was before. BUt, even when I was jealous, I wasn't that way. All I want is for my boyfriend to be open with me. If I feel that he's hiding anything from me that's the time when I start to be jealous. Because I believe that if you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't hide anything. Going back to your boyfriend, why don't you ask him shy he's too jealous. Ask him why he won't trust you. If he doesn't stop what he's doing. I don't think he's a good husband material. You might just be quarreling everyday because of his jealousy.

shy should have been written as why.

Well, I really have nothing to hide but sometimes he gives meaning to little things that I do. On such events, I just remain quiet so that there wouldn't be any quarrel. Thanks for your advice. I'd probably talk to him about it when I get a good timing! ^__^

I can't stand it when guys are jealous! It absolutely drives me crazy! A tiny tiny tiny bit of jealousy can be cute SOMETIMES, but overall, I hate it. I couldn't be with a guy who got jealous easily. I've been with a couple over the years and I didn't stay with them for long once that side of their personality started coming out. I'm married now to a wonderful guy. We're both easy-going and not jealous people, so it's a perfect match!

Oh dear, this is more than jealousy - it's invasion of privacy. If I can allow him personal time and space, I expect him to do the same. If he wants to check my mails and all that, it just means he doesn't trust me! Not good at all; unless you don't mind his actions. Else it's better that you have a frank talk with him!

I've been in a similar situation, I wanted to go to a friend's gig because it was her first time to sing in a bar. Sadly I wasn't able to go...

Wow!!! Well I was in a relationship in the past where my boyfriend was extremly jealous! He wouldn't let me talk to other guys he would get jealous even if I were to speak to a guy in my class even if it was about an assignment and what not. He would check my email and phone constantly! This type of jealousy is ridiculous. I got out of this relationship and I'm glad that I did. The way I reacted to this was I kinda freaked out since he had never been this way before and I hadn't given him reason not to trust me....He just turned super possessive to the point that he would come and check on me at my house to see if I was here or if I was away and with who!!! There was this one time where he came and I wasn't here but he was watching my house from down the street!!!! Can you say stalker!!! I'm out of this relationship now thankfully. I'm so over this and I'm looking forward to a bright future with my future hubby:-D I'm glad my fiancee isn't jealous like this if not I would be getting married with him. haha

I know this conversation wasnt for me but I'm a guy and I think its only right that you see our point of view, the checking of the mail is ridiculous, and checking the archives of the online messenger is ridiculous, but there is no such thing as a girl and guy being friends...It just doesnt work out one is always attracted to another, even though they'll swear they arent. Most guys are dogs, and guys know that, we know that if our female companion is mad or depressed about something and we arent around you to comfort you, that your "guy friend" will most likely try to make a move on you while you're in a weak state, if you dont believe me, tell your guy friends that you're going to dump your boyfriend, 9 times out of 10 they will tell you "you dont need him" or something along those lines even if he treats you like a queen. sometimes its not even that subtle, they'll flat out tell you "I'm still single if you want to see if I treat you better" or something along those lines, just remember it isnt that he doesnt trust you, he doesnt trust them.

Really? I never thought of that. I thought girls and guys could be just friends and nothing more.

Guys who are extremely jealous, to the point of checking up on the girl's activities, are terribly insecure and dangerous. I'd stay far away from them. Before I married my husband, I dated a guy who I knew had a strong jealous streak. It lasted a month, until he slapped me around for innocently talking to his friend while we were all hanging out together. I took all his stuff he had at my house and dumped it on his mom's porch. He tried to write and call a few times but I refused to speak to him. But he did tell me that the next time he got a good woman he would treat her better, so maybe I accomplished something. He hadn't really hurt me that bad, just an open-faced slap and my glasses cut my nose a tiny bit, so it could have been a lot worse but I wasn't going to hand around and wait for it. My husband (of 21 years) is not generally too jealous, thank goodness, although it does raise it's ugly head once in a while and I have to put it back in its place. He thinks he's not good enough for me and that I might want someone else, but I don't. Frankly, I often don't think I'm good enough for him, either. I guess a happy marriage is one in which each partner thinks they got the better deal.

That was a terrible experience! I'm glad you were able to stay away with that guy! I can't believe how some men could be like that. It's good that you found a loving husband. I wish you all the best!

ok did you knew i was going to answer this, once again another reason why most dudes don't like me. he's wrong to be jealous, maybe he's enscure about himself. but this can turn into a control issues wth him. i can seen it where the dude tell his g/f don't talk to thier guy friends. then into verbal abuse then pshycail. (ok need to not to this when i first wake up) my thing is if you're not all into him, kick him to the curb. i would tell my g/f really fast they aren't going to check my emails or anything else. if he has no reason tell him to stop, but i had a few g/f jealous and i was like nope not dealing with it. good look

My boyfriend is not a jealous type of person, i know i always say i love you to him and how i care for him. We established trust and confidence in our relationship. But he told me one time that he would never like it if i will intentionally make him jealous, or do anything that will test his love for me. He is one loving sweet guy, and i dont want us to fight over jealousy matters. I am the one who ask things like " do you still like me " and he wont mind it, he just like answering it and making me feel secure. Too much jealousy is a problem, it wont help in a relationship. Happy mylotting!

Hello Jaymeeliz, too much jealousy in never good. He is not trusting you anymore. What is best to do here is to talk to your boyfriend heart to heart and tell him what you feel. It is not because you get so annoyed when he does that, but you have to explain to him that trust is important in a relationship. If he continues to think of bad things against you , this will lower your respect towards him .Tell him how much you love him and there is no reason for him to get jealous. It is dangerous if a guy acts too much, he is like a stalker or he can be a future nagger if too much jealousy is on his mind. Tell him that too much jealousy is not going to give your relationship a place to grow. Happy Mylotting!

If your boyfriend does like that, he has a srtong desire to own you, more than love you. I don't like this way to express love. Though you are lovers, you should have your own space. You should repect the privacy of each other. You can tell your boyfriend that you really love me ,and ask him to trust you.

I can't stand a jealousy boyfriend who keeps checking my mail. I think this man can't respect others, besides if you love someone, you should trust them without questions. Have no chance whatever my boyfriend would check my mails and check what I have done on the internet. People must respect other's prvacies. My hubby is good at that. But you are quite right, a little jealousy could be cute sometimes. Good day. Happy myLotting:))

a little jealousy is good for the pair remains healthy!.one upmanship has appened to me, but it was a moment of insecurity and tied to help him in this with a thousand assurance. becomes phatological when it is right to leave this person because it might spoil their lives.

yes i agree that a little display of jealousy gives us a little assurance that our lover loves us. but i think that most of us hate it when it becomes too much.

i agree, a little jealous sometimes could be cute.. but i guess the question is more suited when ask in reverse to be address to my boyfriend,lol..well, mine was not the typical annoying man who gets jealous on little stuffs though at times he would admit it in a rather subtle way that he indeed got jealous when im with other guys im close to.but i assured him that there's no way to be jealous coz he is the only one i love..and the best thing about him, he gives so much trust in me and in our relationship and that makes our love for each other grow fonder..

I had a jealous boyfriend back in high school. he doesn't want me to hang out with my girl friends, because he thinks they might lead me to another guy. What a paranoid. I did what he asked me to and didn't hang out with my friends as much any more. i was really upset over his actions when he cheated on me when i never even thought of cheating on him. that jerk! If my boyfriend starts acting over jealous I would dump him.

In some instances, we feel jealous to something or someone. The love binds the two souls together, it might be normal to have the jealousy part. Although, it should not be in the extent of hurting other people.
