female room mate....
Find a Conversation

I have been dating my boyfriend for almost six months, but in the last few weeks I have found myself jelous of his room mate. My boyfriend Doug has a female room mate named Jeannie and they have lived in the same appartment for over three years. They both graduated from the same high school and met each other on the speach team. After high school Doug went to a community college and Jeannie a state college and now is in law school. When she moved back here three years ago Doug's room mate had moved out and he offered Jeannie the spare room.
I think it was our second date when Doug told me he had a female room mate, I was surprised but no big deal. About a week later Doug invited me over to watch movies and hang out, as I arrived Jeannie was just leaving on a date and I was stunned at how beautiful and athletic she looks.
Over the months I have come to really like Jeannie and I consider her a very good friend. When my car battery died and left me stranded at a store I called and left a message for Doug to see if he could help me but Jeannie got the message and rather than have me wait for a couple of hours for Doug, she drove across town and gave me a jump start.
My suspicion started when about two weeks ago I was spending the night with Doug (On a week night) and the next morning Jeannie came quietly into Doug's room and got a pair of socks out of his drawer. I thought that it was especially strange because she was wearing slacks and just a bra, thats all. Doug later told me that she is always stealing his socks. Since then I have discovered that Doug does most of her laundry and they cook for each other. They always watch "24" and "Boston Legal" together. If they didn't have seperate bed rooms and they where each not dating someone else, I would say they had the perfect marriage.
To be honest I feel guilty for being suspicious, Jeannie has become a sweet friend and I seriously feel like I am in love with Doug and he is "Mr. Right" but if he ever compairs me to Jeannie, wow I am in trouble. It's like my boyfriend lives with a 26 year old version of Christi Brinkley who is about to become a lawyer.
Should I tell Doug about my suspicions? Or maybe have a girl to girl conversation with Jeannie (AKA: Christi)? Should I do nothing and keep my mouth shut? HELP!!!!

Pianoguy thinks you can go either way with this one.
1. You can have the chat with Doug about it...and he may or may not give you an honest answer.
2. You can do the girl-to-girl conversation with Jeannie, tell her what you saw and wait for her response. Of course...whatever you relate to her WILL get back to Doug!
It seems to me that if the 2 of 'em have been "sharing space for 3 years"---it's more of a 'brother-sister relationship?' But if you need PEACE OF MIND...ask one of 'em about...err...their living arrangement?
