Is it normal to feel jealous about my boyfriends celebrity crush?

[Anonymous]

I have celebrity crushes I’ve told him about but he handled it so well... makes it seem so easy to pass
😅

Usually his celebrity crushes don’t make me too jealous but I feel it a lot cuz the one he has is our age 😅🤦🏽‍♀️

The only time he’s jealous is when I call my guy friends and my boyfriend stops talking to me or gives me little responses

It's pretty normal since society has it fixed than a woman's desirability is determined by her ability to captivate a man's attention.

So even though it's a fantasy hell never meet, there's still a part of him that you'll 'never get' and in some ways that's is how life works, but he also doesn't have to flaunt it if it makes you insecure. We never get all of our partners, and we never get them to desire us all the time or whenever we want them.

It is normal to be able to watch any tv show you want. It's a little weird to tell someone jealous all about how hot that character right after watching the show. I had a boyfriend who did that, and yeah, it did make me insecure. So I did it right back and then he got insecure, so we both stopped doing it. Obviously, if your boyfriend is impervious to such childish (but you know what, minimally offensive but effective quips for jealous people) then it will not work.

Unrelated, but the fact that he's into a girl his age is a good thing (there's fewer weird power assumptions behind that). Having large blow up posters in his room would probably be my hard no line, just because...

Honestly I don't care because there's no way he can get their attention anyways 😂 so it's okay to have a celeb crush as long as he isn't super obsessed with her.

Is that Scarlet Johanson is the thumbnail picture? She is a 7/10. Good looking, but she isn't model material or anything. Kind of an odd celebrity crush, given that most people crush on a celebrity for their appearance since you can't know very much about their personalities.

Is it normal to be jealous? Sure. Your boyfriend has a crush on this person, and that means he could envision himself with her in intimate ways that he should only be reserving for you, his girlfriend. It could cause consternation to feel like this individual has the potential to be with your boyfriend in these ways, and might make you feel like you're less special to him because he also has eyes for other people.

you need to get over the jealousy on that one...
me and my wife have a pact that if we ever had the chance to "do" our celebrity crush, we need to go for it... no jealousy but just living the fantasy... everyone needs to learn how to turn a jealous feeling into a fantasy, because jealousy is a negative and mostly harmful feeling that has very little, if any, benefit in our lives...

It could be. If my girlfriend said she liked a guy like Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom or Tom Hiddleston I'd be like "good taste" but if it was an actor I didn't care for I might find it weird or try to ignore it. So if you can't embrace it then it's better to ignore i guess.

No, it's not. Women get upset when you jealous because she keeps talking about her ex while on dates with you, but also they get jealous over the tiniest of things, you can't even like some girls instagram photo without upsetting your girlfriend.

[devilman666]

My girlfriend sometimes talks about her ex boyfriend and things that they did. I hate it and gets really irritated. What should I do? ↗

[Kaneki05]

Lmao no not normal. Sounds a bit crazy. And i am super easy to jealously myself. But that's a bit extreme to care about that. Unless if he is a celeb himself.

[JackSmy]

Sounds like your relationship is failing, and on the way out! Be ready!! It isn't going to last, with thinking like that!

[Asker]

No it’s still going he just laughs

[whiteyw80]

Maybe a smidge but nothing to even come close to arguing about. I'd probably tease my girlfriend and talk about how I read in a gossip magazine that he had a micro-penis.

[Jemini_Crocket]

It's pretty normal and common but try it not to get to you. I hope I wrote that correctly.

It's really a waste of anger and you'll escape possible conflicts.

[dandiecandie]

Hahhahaha you guys are cute. Ask him if she and you were infront of him right now, who would he pick? Her or You?

[rachel776]

no but if you live in LA be careful cuz sometimes they do get to fuck them, but usually only once

[Ripper_E]

There is no difference between a celebrity crush and a crush on an every day person. You're crushing on someone when in a relationship. Whether that person is obtainable is irrelevant.

[EvilAngel114]

Why be jealous? He’s with you all the time I would assume What are the chances he would end up with said celebrity... not likely.

[iambae]

Women are naturally jealous and insecure. I wouldn't worried about it changes are he and her will never meet.

[Liam_Hayden]

Celebrity crushes are weird to me. You will probably never meet the person, and even if you do it will likely be in passing and the crush is on an illusion, not the actual person, anyway.

[Avicenna]

You shouldn't. He has no way of acting on that crush.

[asshole_]

of course. just remember, most of the time celebs, have makeup and high fashion clothes on. they're def. not as perfect as we think

[Wise4myage]

Not really, because the chances of him actually hooking up with a celebrity crush is zero.

[CuriousMufuxka]

It is normal for girls to be a tad bit more insecure than guys. Girls just bullsh.. I mean explain it away better.

[pink_and_inlove]

Lmao no because they don’t even have a chance to get with that person

[AlwaysBelieving]

Not sure if it’s normal or not. It’s just how YOU feel.

[In_Trance]

Completely irrational

[SerahRainbow]

Yes but let him know this is reality
