My girlfriend tries to make me jealous all the time. What should I do?

[suprice]

I've noticed that my girlfriend often tries to make me jealous, like when she tells me about guys sliding into her DMs or checks out other guys for longer than necessary. I tried giving her more affection to make her feel more appreciated, but it seemed to make things worse. She just blew it off and seemed to go on a power trip. What should I do?

[DishLady]

I don’t see why the DM thing is a big deal if she’s committed to you… And just bc a guy checks her out doesn’t mean she’s checking them out, esp if she loves you and is with you.


Is she just telling you about this stuff to be up front with you? If so, there’s no need to be jealous.

[serious]

What should you do? You don't know?

Well, it is simple she is playing manipulative mind games with you and testing you like this even when there is no need, no reason to do so. The more you are going to tolerate her mind games, the more she will keep playing these games with you.

You need to put a stop to this. You need to break up with her immediately. Believe it or not, you don't need such a woman in your life who will always try to make you insecure and test you by playing mind games. You are just not strict enough in dealing with things.

You need to toughen up.

Dump her and find yourself a more mature respectful girl

[poochigoochi]

are you sure she is trying to make you jealous? maybe she is just being honest and telling you about everything that happens. do you have a big reaction or try to act like you are jealous when she tells you? because that may seem very fake or off-putting to the girl when it is obvious that you are trying to put up a show. maybe just try to react normally or make it a joke e. g. gg what is he saying, let's troll him back etc :P

Navigating the rocky waters of jealousy can be like trying to salsa dance with two left feet, but let's groove into this together! It seems like your girlfriend is on a mission to test the waters, seeing how you react to her actions. Showering her with more affection, while super sweet, might have come off to her like you're playing right into her hands. Perhaps it's time to switch up the dance. Have a heart-to-heart talk with her, express how her actions make you feel without putting her on the defensive. It's not about accusing but sharing. This is where your tango gets interesting because communication is the key. If she's truly into you, she'll want to change her steps to match yours. If not, it might be a cue for you to consider if this dance is really for you. Keep it light, keep it respectful, and let's hope for a love story better than any telenovela out there!

When your girlfriend tries to make you jealous, it’s usually because of something deeper. She might feel insecure about where she stands with you and is using jealousy as a way to get reassurance. Sometimes, people do this to test how much their partner cares or to create excitement in the relationship. ​ Whatever the reason, it’s a sign that something isn’t quite right in the way you’re both communicating...

[janina]

If your girlfriend is intentionally trying to make you jealous, it could signal insecurity or a need for attention in the relationship. Start by calmly addressing the issue, letting her know how her actions make you feel without being confrontational. Communication is key; ask why she feels the need to create jealousy and express that healthy relationships thrive on trust, not manipulation. If the behavior continues despite your discussion, consider whether this dynamic aligns with your emotional needs. Both partners should feel secure and respected in a relationship for it to grow and remain healthy.

Late response, but here we go.

If someone you're dating makes you feel some kind of way that's not pleasant, your first move should be to communicate that with them directly. If that doesn't work, then you should give an ultimatum.

I don't have the full context, but from what I can read here your girlfriend wants other men's validation, but is also trying to gaslight you that everything is OK. You need to be assertive and tell her exactly why that's a problem. If she has an issue with that, then you have to leave the relationship. Simple.

[dustybiker2]

She has insecurities would be my guess. She's testing to see your reaction so she can gauge how you would react. It's immaturity.

Tell her you're secure in your relationship and trust her, and you appreciate her sharing that. That should flip her lid. At least for the moment.

[Ms_Facesitter]

If that's her goal, of course you giving her attention is going to make it worse. So don't do that. If that's her goal, you should find yourself a woman who respects her man instead of a girl who likes to play games.

[DrPepper12]

Ignore it. Your reaction is what gives her power. Be disinterested and nonchalant when she pulls that shit.

If you can't then sit her down and talk to her about it. Jealousy and confusion are not healthy

[genericname85]

if you value her and wanna stay with her, then work on her self esteem (by other means of you giving her affection. general self esteem is what i'm talking about). otherwise, kick her to the curb and get a confident one xD

[strateguy632]

Dm? That shouldn't make you jealous.

Cool it!

Ever heard of friend zone?

N looking? Just enjoyed the view not cheated

[PeachyPie93]

Flirt with other girls to make her jealous or dump her. Not much you can do with someone crazy like that lol.

[McLlovin]

Just tell her this: “ you still love me dont you” lol

[Nikki1989]

Grow up. Are you really 48?

Good grief!

[stratford]

Walk away - it's controlling or self centered behaviour

[noohair]

Women can't control men by force, so they learn early how to manipulate men. Seems cruel doesn’t it?

[lorenzomichael]

If you love her and you know how she is. fuck it play along.

[Ladsin2]

Too easy. She doesn't respect you and you should skedaddle.

[Ironco]

Dump her and find a girl you doesn't do that to you. There are better women out there.

[msc545]

Find a girlfriend without a personality disorder.

[dudegreat91]

[Anonymous]
