Jealous dd

19 year old dd is horribly jealous. This kinda goes along with a discussion on the college student board. My dd is a bit narcissistic. If she does it, it is okay, but boy don't cross her

I don't know how to tell her to stop acting the way she is, she is being annoying and obnoxious. She is so jealous of her b/f. He can't even talk to other girls. Everytime he gets an comment on his myspace or facebook, she literally goes balistic. He made one mistake a while ago, but it is over and he has made up for it 100 times over. What he doesn't know, is she made a "mistake" too, however, she never got caught, he did.
She actually thinks this makes it okay for her to badger him constantly over completely innocent things. She has always been the jealous type, it is just getting out of hand. He is a good kid and I know she loves him, she is going to loose him. He already put up with way more than most guys would. They ahve been together for 2 1/2 years, they are talking about engagement and marriage.

Any suggestions on what to say to her to stop this, I know she has to be annoying him, she is annoying me and everyone else around her.

Thanks

How about telling her a story (real or fiction) about "the one that got away" because he couldn't take the constant jealousy?

Great story, almost fits these two perfectly. I am gonna use that one if you don't mind!!!! Maybe she will realize that there is a difference from being a little jealous to being obsessive, which she is.

Thanks again,
