  • MrWizard says good stuff...I"ve had the same experience as you... My boyfriend explained that it was a different jealousy than what he would feel about a man hitting on me, saying that he didn't know how to deal with it because he couldn't out macho a woman or be more handsome or fight...The things that he may do were it a man...But I did sit him down, said all the MrWizard suggested then told him that if he wanted to continue having undo jealousies over my friend that that was his choice but I didn't want to hear about it again...

  • It is hard to convince someone of something when they have their will set against it. I think the best thing you can do is intentionally sit him down, tell him you love him, you want to be with him, you don't have any desire to be with your friend or other girls, and that it hurts you when he makes these comments. If he can't let it go and trust you, then you will have a difficult time continuing to build intimacy in the relationship.

  • You can't change him. Only he can.

    Sounds your relationship with him has a limited duration.

    Sure, he's insecure. Many men would be in such a case.

    You should make a decision with whom you want to spend time.

  • He'll get over his insecurities when he's good and ready, not a moment sooner. You're problem, then, is whether you'll scramble your friends around until he likes them, or will you tell him to grow the hell up.

  • I wish my girl was bi wtf would he be jealous?!

  • YES! Have a threesome with him. Everybody wins.

    • If he hasn't mentioned a threesome by now, I doubt he would want to do that, silly :-P

    • Everybody deep down inside is bi in their own way. The bf's jealousy is stupid. This might be a roundabout way for him to get her to suggest a threesome to kill his insecurities.. or he may just be a jealous dude.
