Why does he get jealous if we aren't together?

[Anonymous]

I like this guy but we aren't together and he reminds me all the time we aren't together. From time to time he brings up my ex a lot. I never bring up my ex/he thinks im still seeing my ex and feels he's still in the picture. He thinks i have other guys in my phone but told me he doesn't really care because we aren't together and only gets upset to get a reaction out of me. Just the other day I unintentionally pissed him off and he ignored me for a couple of days. I asked him if we aren't together and he doesn't care about the guys i talk to why did he give me the silent treatment. All he can say is i deserved it. We aren't together but he does get in his feelings a lot when i do things.

It's possible that this guy is struggling with his own feelings of jealousy and insecurity, and that he may be projecting those feelings onto you and your interactions with other people. He may feel that he has some level of ownership or control over you, even though you are not in a committed relationship, and may be struggling to come to terms with the fact that you are your own person with your own interests and social connections.

It's important to remember that jealousy and possessiveness are not healthy or respectful behaviors, and that no one has the right to control or manipulate you in any way. It's important to communicate your boundaries and expectations clearly, and to prioritize your own well-being and safety in any situation.

If this guy is consistently making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, it may be helpful to distance yourself from the situation and seek support from trusted friends, family members, or professionals. By prioritizing your own needs and boundaries, you can build a strong and healthy sense of self-worth and respect, and can create fulfilling relationships based on mutual trust and respect.

I had the same problem. I finally introduced him to my new boyfriend so he would get the hint. He text from time to time letting me know he still wants me. I just ignore him.
