Jealous
| Sun, 10-31-2004 - 12:37pm |
I have been dating this guy for three months. Things are good, could be better, but I think it might be my fault. I am a very jealous person. My last boyfriend cheated on me and now I am bringing those emotions into this relationship. Every girl that he talks to I get jealous of. He is a very sweet guy and wouldn't do anything to hurt me, but I just can't get over the fact that he might. We had talked about this and I said I would work on it, but I don't know how. Any suggestions would help.

Nothing kills a relationship FASTER....than transferring the behavior of your last b/f onto the one you're currently dating. Pianoguy wonders if you let the dust settle between men....or if you just jumped into your current relationship immediately?
If you're expecting every man to treat you poorly...you'll probably "get your wish!" Contrary to what a few ivillage ladies might think, men don't respond IDENTICALLY to one another.
So if you have any doubts about our sincerity..."wait a little while" (quoting Kenny Loggins here) before you date any of us!

If he shows you over time that he has good character, is honest and open, etc., and you STILL get jealous, then you need to work on your insecurity through counseling.
