Generally, it's pretty fun hanging around my mate since he's quite talkative and jokes around a fair amount. His humour style is quite similar to my girlfriends since she tends to laugh a lot when we're all in the conversation together.

Now I realise that my girlfriend is with me for a reason, and not my mate.
But it's still kind of unsettling knowing that she seems to have a better flow of conversation with my mate, laughing and all that.

Not sure what I'm expecting really. Neither my girlfriend nor my mate is doing anything wrong here. But it does make me feel like we're mismatched here or something.

I know exactly how you feel.

My ex and I are still really friendly, and we still like each other a lot, but recently she got friendlier with one of my friends and I got insanely jealous. I talked to him and her about it, and she promised me I had nothing to worry about, and if it bothered me that much she wouldn't talk to him anymore (which I said not to; I don't want to control who her friends are)

If it bothers you that much just talk to her about it, she'll understand.

Yeah I don't plan on controlling who she's friends with. There's not much point in putting unnecessary stress and all that on her as well.

Think that's the reason it's such a confusing issue. You just got these feelings that are just there.

Like I said, if it's making you that uncomfortable, just talk to her about it and tell her how uncomfortable and awkward it makes you feel. Seriously, if you leave it, you'll always have all these thoughts and whenever she laughs/talks/etc with your friend it might make you get pissed off at him/her and it might be for no good reason at all.

just talk to her, ther's nothing wrong with wanting a little bit of reassurance.
she might be trying harder with your friend cause she wants him to approve of your choice and shes just more comfortable and laid back with you

If you want to keep this girl, put a good deal of effort into her. Rig the deck in your favour.

Just like any relationship.

There is nothing else you can do but to work hard.
