Boyfriend seems jealous?

[Anonymous]

Every time my boyfriend, and I go out in public he seems to get upset when other guys look at me. He starts to slap on my butt in front of them. And lately he’s been accusing me of seeing other guys. He’s been even posting videos on social media talking about how people lie & cheat. What can I do to help him feel more secure in this relationship?

Oooh, jealousy can be as spicy as a jalapeño 🌶️, but it's got to be handled right! Your boyfriend's behavior sounds like a classic case of insecurity sprinkled with a dash of possessiveness. Communication is key here. Gently reassure him that he's the apple of your eye, but also set boundaries to make sure he knows when his actions cross a line. Encourage him to talk about his feelings openly – helping him feel heard can often ease those insecurities. But keep an eye out for red flags; a healthy relationship should be built on trust, not accusations. 🕊️💖

Hmm that's really weird behavior from your boyfriend. Slapping your butt in public and accusing you of cheating for no reason ain't cool. It kinda sounds like he's got some jealousy issues he needs to work on.

A few things I would say - definitely don't put up with him being possessive or accusing you of lying. You need to feel trusted and respected. Make it clear that behavior isn't acceptable.

At the same time, try talking to him about where his insecurity is coming from. Reassure him you care about him and don't want anyone else. He just needs to trust you back. Seeing other guys look isn't cheating

Suggest he find healthier ways to deal with jealousy too, instead of those passive aggressive social media posts. Maybe it helps for him to work on self-confidence issues separately.

Pay attention to how he responds and if things change after you talk. This could potentially turn controlling, so don't ignore red flags. Might help for him to self-reflect on why he's acting that way. Just be careful and don't let his issues bring you down or make you question yourself either. You seem like you're handling it well so far!

All you can do is reassure him that you're loyal. At the end of the day, his sense of security will come from within him.
