Jealousy and insecurity

Hey all,
Looking for some general feedback/advice/COMFORT really!
My boyfriend and I have been together just over a year and our both at Uni [different ends of the country, grr]. We see each other every weekend or every other weekend, and I trust him as he's my best friend and I know neither of us would ever hurt the other.
However, every time he goes out I get this really irrational jealous/insecure feeling.. I've nothing against him having a good time and everything but I feel so jealous that all his male and female friends have his company and get to relax around him, go out, enjoy his company etc.. I don't know why, but I get insecure that he'll be having so much fun with them that he won't think about me, or he'll realise he doesn't want me or need me or whatever.. and I get all cold and bitchy because I hate it!!!

Sorry this was such a rant, jus wondering if anybody else knows where I'm coming from or goes through the same emotions?.. or yeah, whether I'm just the paranoid girlfriend!
Thankyouuuuuu!

I sometimes feel jealous when my boyfriend is out without me, but to get over it I just think about all the times when he's been jealous about me going out without him and how annoying that's been for me!

At the end of the day, a relationship should be based on trust. I know my boyfriend wouldn't cheat on me, cos if he did he knows I'd chop off his *bleeeeep* lol; and ultimately you have to stop being jealous, or it will make your relationship crumble from its foundations up.

Hope all goes well x x x
I used to get jealous / inscure when my GF went out without me, but I just had to trust her, and if she's going to go do something stupid there's nothing I could do to stop her, so why worry? (plus if she's willing to do something stupid I wouldn't WANT to be with her, so it would have given me a good reason to break up with her, had she done something :P)

My ex was very jealous and insecure. She was jealous of the way other girls looked at me and the girls that knew my vital statistics and wanted a piece (long story how that happened). Therefore she cheated on me (to MAKE me jealous). Once I found out she continually said 'ur jealous' over and over. I wasn't, I was hurt. And so she was dumped.


Just trust your partner. I didn't cheat on my gf. She used to think I'd pull at the train station and so would wait with me for my train. And phone me constantly...but did I cheat on her? No, she cheated on me *sigh*

I really don't think it's right judging from only one side of the story.

Maybe this guy misinterpreted her waiting on the station with him? Maybe it was just cos she cared for him?

You never used to text speak/type this badly, why have you started all of a sudden..?

And poster - a little jealousy is healthy, attacking you bf for your minor insecurities is not

i don't worry about what my boyfriend does at all. the only time i get pissed off is when he talks about someone and says they're hot. i think that's rude. my secret to not caring...i've had lots of fun, i only look for fun, i hate being serious and i know whatever he can do, i can do it a lot better (or worse, depending on how you look at it...) :wink:
