I understand guys get jealous over, sometimes mind you, the stupidest crap ... but when you check a guy who keeps saying crap like ....what about the dude in your class didn't he take care of that for you? Or doggin a picture of your ex and the kids? Or checking the exact nature of your friendships with men? Why does he get mad at you for putting him in his place on such issues even when you do it as gentle as possible?
I think that depends on what you mean by check and how much reassurance you had previously given him. If you have a lot of guy friends around and aren't open to questions about them, then that can cause trouble. Keep in mind that jealousy, while often silly, is an emotion and those can get out of hand. It also relates to insecurity - not saying you have to make it up to him, but check with yourself and make sure you're confident you've been giving him enough warmth and encouragement for him to feel comfortable in the relationship. If you are, then boundaries and limitations are good to set, but if not then you might be able to get to the root of the problem.
I have a wonderful boyfriend. We've been together for a happy couple years. I would never cheat on him and have absolutely no intention of leaving...
