Do you get jealous when you see your boyfriend laughing or having fun with another girl?

[Anonymous]

My girlfriend was jealous because we were at a party and I was joking around with a girl I know from work. We don't have a physical relationship and I am not attracted to her but we were just laughing and having a good time. Does my girlfriend have a right to be jealous? Would you be jealous if your boyfriend was having fun with someone else? nonsexual fun that is

I can understand why your girlfriend felt that way. I would also feel jealous if I were in her position. I don't mind if my boyfriend chats with other girls, but if he was having a long (and obviously very enjoyable) conversation with another girl and not including me or interacting with me in any way at the time, I would feel left out and like he preferred her over me. If you are going to laugh and have a good time with another girl for more than a couple of minutes, at least include her in the conversation, look over at her and smile regularly, hold her close to you at the same time. Unless she seems completely happily occupied with others and isn't making an effort to get your attention. But even then, making an effort to include her and remind her that she's your favorite girl in the room would be appreciated.

hmmm well ask yourself this question... if the tables were turned and you saw your girl laughing it up with another guy (that you don't know), throwing her hair back and having a good time would you get even just a little bit jealous? this is one of those things you just have to be careful about... if your making small talk with another girl make sure at some point to introduce your girlfriend to her or look at your girlfriend while talking to her to let her know your still thinking about her or she has nothing to be worried about... a big deal is just being affirmed for a girl! we know its impossible to not talk to other females but we want to know your not going to leave with another one either!

I'm always a pretty jealous person. I try not to let it show, but it kills me inside. Next time, if you notice yourself doing this, include your girlfriend in the conversation, or at least hold her close to you while you're talking. Make it clear to the girl you're joking with that you're with your girlfriend. Even if the other person knows very well that you're off limits, it'll make your girlfriend so much happier for you to show it as well.

i think that it affected her because she hasn't been herself lately. it is kind of awkward between us, its hard to explain. I will have to talk to her about it. what do you think?

[xoamjk92x]

I agree that its definitely possible that she could just not be herself lately. But whether she's going through something or not it bothered her at that moment, and that's what matters. Next time, even just look over and smile at her. Girls appreciate little things

I think both sides should be reasonable. If you talk with that other girl for an hour, laughing like crazy and not even thinking about your girlfriend, yes she has the right to feel neglected and left out.

But, since you knkw that other girl and you are both in relationships, your girlfriend shouldn't be so insecure that she gets pissed of as soon as you talk to someone else for a few minutes.

Be considerate toward your girlfriend but don't let her act like a baby either, it's a matter of mutual respect. Good luck!

Agreeing with "Illiaty".

If she had no one else that she knew, or nothing else to distract her, you were the center of attention for her throughout the party. Not getting the same attention from you should've been a bummer for her.

It might not entirely be jealusy. She might've felt neglected a little.

I think I can understand her, but I'm pretty jealous myself.

Was there anyone she knew, other than you? That would really makes me feel worthless if I'm a a party at one of my boyfriend's friends, and he didn't pay me any attention.

I think that it might be the lack of attention from you that makes her jealous at the girl you're having fun with, not that it really gives her a reason to be jealous, just a possible explanation.

yeah we were all pretty friendly, she was around another group of friends talking and what not

How would you react if you saw her laughing with a good looking guy with nice arms, face, great body. you get the point.

[Asker]

well the girl I was talking had a boyfriend anyway

[anneer]

Did she know she had a bf?

[karla101]

yea I would be jealous. it would be hard to see my man having fun with some other girl even though I'm there with him. us girls we like to get attention from our boyfriend. if you have a girl there is no reason to find "fun" in some other girl.. put yourself in her shoes.. would you be jealous if you see her with another guy laughing and having a good time while she is at the party with you?

i would definitely be jealous...but then again, I'm kinda the jealous type:/
