I'm jealous of my boyfriend's friend

My boyfriend is going on a trip to this spa in the middle of nowhere (mobiles don't work) for his psychology class. It's an optional trip, and some time ago he was saying he didn't want to go. But now he wants to. And he may not be able to go, and he's bummed because of that.

The thing is, there is a pool over there I believe. And one of his closest friends is going. The problem is that once he admitted that she has a better body than me. I try not to be jealous of her but this is constantly on my mind when he mentions her. He said that she's thinner, has bigger breasts and a rounder butt.

Don't get me wrong, I know he won't cheat. What bothers me is they'll be playing in the pool like goofy little kids and God knows what my boyfriend will be thinking. All wet, in a bikini, he thinks she's hot... of course he'll probably get a boner or two, I mean even I turn him on in a bikini and she has a better body. I don't care if checks out/has fantasies with girls he doesn't know, but this one in particular is his friend. I feel unsexy, undesirable, well, a lot of "uns-"... I feel ugly, like I can't compete.

What can I do? I won't be hearing from him until he returns. This trip is in a week or two. What can I do to feel better? To stop caring? I envy her and her better body, her bigger breasts and rounder butt, her slimmer waist... God, how I wish I had that body!

Also, a bit off topic, but why do people always compare big breasts to big muscles? Like, a girl complains because she has a small chest, and people will say "Well, it's the same for guys who lack muscles, and every ad you see, there's a muscular guy", like it was some flaw. Because you know, not having muscle is mostly because of being lazy, I've heard even hard gainers can get a lot of muscles... plus, women can also lack muscle tone and look awful. But why are small breasts seen as a flaw, compared to big breasts? I think big or small, breasts are breasts and they aren't defective. I have small breasts, and feel inadequate all the time! Also, this goes for people who bash on big breasts... hey, they're breasts, just because they're big it doesn't make them cheap/gross/whatever... don't hate on other breasts, none are defective.

Why are you with a f****ng moron that suggests some other girls body is better than yours? I understand there are some really hot girls out there, and they probably are more attractive than you, but the boyfriend should not openly admit it and taunt you. Unless that's how your relationship works, then fair enough.
That's the BIGGER problem:?

Exactly..how did you react when he said those things. For me personally I would be extremely hurt if my boyfriend said those things to me.

He sounds like a potential nominee for boyfriend of the year.

Tell him one of his friends has a better body than him, see how he reacts to that.

Tell him where to go! I'd go mad if my boyfriend said something like that, and telling you aswell is a bit harsh =/

Its a bit harsh of your boyfriend to admit someone has a better body than you!

That said, only you know him personally and you know that he's with you...not her!

Its hard to not worry about it, but as long as your confident in your relationship and his faithfulness, try not to worry.

To be honest, he's not worth the worry!

Next time, drop into the conversation about how fit/muscly/attrative one of your boy mates are! That should shut him up!!

Sorry but if my boyfriend said anything like that i'd smack him in the face and leave him.
Seriously why are you with this person? It sounds like he doesn't appreciate you if he's saying that about his friend. Basically he is just saying that she is better than you and you deserve A LOT better than that.
Don't take no crap from nobody darling.
Did he say that before or after u got together?

If it was after, wtf are u doing with him?

woah woah woah, breasts, muscles, 2 whole different boats, tbh girls feel the need to have adequate breasts, as pretty much evryone can determine their size, muscles are pretty much optional if you are huge then people will see them, otherwise they are pretty much hidden away unless you choose to show,
but on a whole they cant be treated the same way

Maybe not the admitting part, but unless the boyfriend actually is with the girl with the better body, all boyfriends think about other, more attractive, girls.

That is really out of order.

I think you should talk to him. I wouldn't dump him, but tell him what he has made you feel like.
No one should feel like they are being compared by others, especially friends, and no one should have that kinda of thing said to them.
I know what you mean about feeling like crap, and I haven't had that said to me by my bf.

Don't be so certain about trusting him either. I know this isn't what you want to hear but I know a lad that has been with his girlfriend for almost 2 years and everytime you see them they are one of those couple who seem inseparable, but I know what he is like when she isn't about and I was shocked!!!

I like how every girl here is getting all high and mighty.
Its amusing to pretend their boyfriends have never eyed up another girl or mentioned how fit some girl is to them.
Or has never heard of a joke.

You know... bets on 90% of girls posting here to be single.
I dont think its right for him to say she has a better body then his girlfriend, fair enough eye up other girls (come on girls we all know you check out guys) but to compare a girl to you girlfriend is bound to upset and cause affence. I wouldnt do it, and its not right for a boy to do it imo.

Can't help but agree that every boy looks at other girls; they can love you with all their heart, but shove a beautiful girl in their eyeline and they're gonna look. I know my boyfriend finds a few other girls attractive, but the point is I know that he'd choose me every time. And I know that his little fantasies include girls who are slimmer, prettier and lovelier than I am, but I know that he adores me and would never put a foot out of line.

But I do think that your boyfriend needs to learn a bit of sensitivity.

If I ever ask my boyfriend if someone is hotter than me or thinner/prettier he sticks his hands in his ears and goes "laaa laaa laaaaaaaaaaa laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" and then makes a rude comment before telling me I'm pretty much perfect in his eyes. Although it does piss me off when he makes 'hot' characters on Wow who are blone and tanned...meh.

Point is, even if he thinks it he shouldn't say it and THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.

Hit him...stop worrying about HER....and I bet he won't be getting a chubby anyhoo if they're just friends and he felt comfortable enough about their relationship being platonic to say to his girlfriend she had a nice body. Boys, despite popular belief aren't turned on by everyone...
