Jealousy going to ruin relationship?
| Tue, 03-30-2004 - 2:43pm |
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 7 months. We are in a very loving and positive relationship and people have commented on how great we are together. The problem is, we both tend to be jealous people. It's not an angry jealous, it's more that we get upset at the idea; we never really lash out at each other. For the most part, I don't feel that comfortable with him going out to a party or a club w/his friends and he feels the same way about me. We've never cheated on each other and everything else in our relationship is great. I've never had this problem in a relationship before but I've also never felt this strongly about someone. I'm worried that both of our jealous tendencies will lead to bigger problems in our relationship. Please help!

It seems like you both are a little insecure of things, especially with your feelings towards bars and clubs. Its almost as if you are both scared that you'll lose one another to someone the other one meets at the bar...is this how the both of you met? As these feelings are somewhat natural, letting them go far enough can be self destructive. Have you guys gone to the club together?
These are feelings that both of you need to work through, eventually, it will stonewall your relationship.
Good luck!
