Jealousy

LegacyUser

I’d love some advice from people here on a problem I have – jealousy. I find it really hard to see my girlfriends round other guys – I find it really uncomfortable in social situations, especially when there is drink involved. I don’t know why I have this insecurity – I’ve never been cheated on and (trying not to sound arrogant) I tend to go out with pretty and outgoing girls so I should expect them to attract a bit of attention. I find myself not committing anymore to avoid this.

Any advice?

Well OP, you seem pretty confident anyway if you know you can normally pick up a good one (sorry for the phrasing). If that's the case then the only thing I can recommend is communication and openness (sp?). It's harder to trust someone if you're only ever together having a laugh as opposed to talking seriously once in a while and really really getting to know the other person.

It takes time but I used to be jealous at times myself whereas in my current relationship I have no issues with anything my Gf does. I know I can trust her.

Also, remember for the most part a girl wouldn't go out with you if she didn't think you were worth it (Not always the case but mostly so). When you start getting any jealous ideas or inclinations just remember that normally they wouldn't waste their time with you if they felt that that's what they were doing.
