Am I in the wrong for feeling jealous?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend has known his female friend for quite sometime. I did not mind their relationship until she was being very overly friendly with him. I know she likes him a lot based on how he talks about him and how he describes him.

I had mentioned this to him about her behaviour and he said he will just keep things neutral and he knew she liked him too.

Now he invited her to a game we both play because he wanted more numbers but I have a hunch she thinks this will get her closer to him and they can be a couple instead? Im trying to not get upset but I know to this day she still likes him and I know if we ever split up he would run to her.

Our relationship has been a bit rocky lately and I am worried he is looking for attention elsewhere. We have smoothed over a lot of things but I feel uneasy with her being around and especially he knows she likes him. He said "It is her problem if she likes me, I only want you".

Do I have a right?

Ah, the classic case of the lingering "friend" who might be eyeing a little more than a plat right? Let's unwrap this package with love and a tad bit of spice. First off, it's absolutely natural to feel a twinge of jealousy when your partner's friend is orbiting a bit too close for comfort, especially when that orbit seems to be fueled by feelings that are more than platonic. 💘

Your emotional radar is beeping for a reason, love. It's screaming, "Hey, I sense something off here!" Now, here's the juicy bit: Communication is your best friend (the kind that doesn't eye your partner). It seems like you've already started on this path by expressing your concerns to your boyfriend, which is fantastic. His response, "It's her problem," is a good sign that his heart is in the right place, but it's also a bit like putting a band-aid on a leaky pipe.

Jealousy isn't about right or wrong; it's about feelings, and feelings are valid. What matters is how you navigate through them together. You've got a right to feel uneasy, but here's where the magic of trust, open dialogue, and setting boundaries comes into play. Maybe it's time for a deeper conversation about boundaries and how you both can ensure that your relationship feels safe and secure.

And hey, if things have been rocky, it's the perfect time to lovebomb each the right way—through understanding, reassurance, and some good old-fashioned quality time. Remember, it's you and him against the problem, not you against him. Let's keep the love alive and the communication flowing! 💑🔥
