I catch her making eye contact with other guys or mostly just looking at them(checking them out). She tells me she loves me and want to spend the rest of her life with me. She thinks I am being to jealous. I do not like this am I being to silly?
My boyfriend of 2 years does the same thing and it really bothers me. I was very confident and slowly during our relationship my self-confidence has dwindled. He looks at every woman--from below average to average to beautiful. I'm tall, in great shape/slender, beautiful, intelligent, educated and very caring. Every time he looks at a woman I'm offended, I don't check out other men because I have respect for him. I'm visual too, when I was single I checked men out/made eye contact with them all the time--as long as they were single and attractive. I told him how much it hurts my feelings when he does this. At first he said he was just looking at their clothes or looking around, but why doesn't he look at mens' clothes? He said he's trying to stop because he doesn't want to hurt me.
I think you should talk to her about it and let her know how it makes you feel. If she really loves you, she'll make an effort to not hurt you. She may not stop entirely, but she'll be aware of how she's making you feel--it may help cut down on her rude, disrespectful behavior. Do you really want to be with someone who makes you feel unhappy and hurt, because that's what she's doing to you? I don't think you're being jealous or silly.
She is correct, you are being jealous. You want to know if it is silly or justified.
I don't know. Neither do you. Do you trust her? That's what it's about, what a lot of relationships are.
What exactly are you worried about happening? Do you think she will have sex with someone else without telling you? Make clear that you want this to be monoamorous, if you do. If she violates that trust, then so she does, react to that, and work on your character judgment skills.
There's no easy answer. In terms of relationships with other people, if you want them to be free, you've got to let them go and trust them to act in your interest just as you would in hers.
Though it depends on you values, history, back group. Some people will find me crazy on this one.
In my book, someone who cherishes you and values you will never look at anyone else in that manner.
This garbage mentality at "you can look but can't touch" is complete BS in my book.
If I care for my woman, I will care about her *and* her feelings, any woman who tells you she really doesn't mind that you look at other girls is pure BS
As a result of that, I will never even peek at another women, pure disrespect for my lady if I did !
Wow. I wish all men thought like you. I also think that the saying 'u can look but you can't touch ' is completely bullshit. your lady is truly lucky to have somebody who thinks like you =] - 3 months ago
Sounds she is an disrespectful woman; after all, you can look, but by making eye contact, your girlfriend is unconsciously giving the ok for those guys to make a move on her; maybe you should make eye contact with other women and see if she approves it. I guess she might as to her that's not a big deal
