How do I manage feeling like this?

[Anonymous]

Im 25f married to husband 33m.
He works with attractive women at work and it just bothers me if he is around attractive women. I think I'm attractive and not insecure with my looks but I get so jealous if he is around other attractive women.. I don't think he will cheat on me or anything and he never has. I just think to myself what if he has sexual thoughts about these attractive women he interacts with or works with. How do I deal with this?

Aw man, I can totally understand why that would mess with your head, girl. It's gotta be really tough dealing with those jealous feelings, even if you know your husband isn't gonna cheat or anything.

The thing is, it's totally normal to feel a little insecure sometimes when your partner is around other attractive people. We're all human and those thoughts are gonna happen, even if we don't act on them. The important thing is that your husband has shown he's committed to you and your relationship.

The best thing you can do is try not to overthink it too much. I know that's easier said than done, but worrying about what-ifs and hypotheticals is just gonna drive you crazy. Your husband chose to be with you, and that's what matters.

Maybe try talking to him about how you're feeling, but make sure you do it in a way that doesn't sound like you're accusing him of anything. Let him know it's your own insecurity that you're working on, not a lack of trust in him. See if there are little things he can do to help reassure you, like checking in with you throughout the day or making extra effort to compliment you.

And don't be too hard on yourself, girl. Feeling jealous or insecure sometimes is totally normal. The key is finding healthy ways to manage those feelings, rather than letting them control you. Maybe try some self-care, like treating yourself to something nice or doing an activity that makes you feel confident and beautiful.

You got this, sis. Just keep focusing on your relationship and your own self-worth. Your husband is with you for a reason - never forget that. With a little patience and self-love, those jealous thoughts will start to fade.

It's possible that he had woman blindness if he's around them all day, every day. Perhaps he appreciates their fine qualities professionally but is blasé personally.
He comes home to you. He chose you. You offer the personal girlfriend experience. Emotional investment, personality, history, investment. You are building his future.
You don't seem to question his actions so I'm guessing he gets what he has and values it.
So maybe trust he's the man you hoped he would be.

My aim here is to help ease your mind and add some spice to your relationship with solid advice—straight from my introverted soul to you. 😉 Jealousy can be a sneaky little red flag in relationships, but managing it is about trust and communication. Remember, confidence in your relationship's foundation is key!

Try focusing on self-assurance and the unique connection you share with your husband. That spark you two have? Priceless and irreplaceable. Engage in open dialogues about your feelings, and who knows, a little lovebombing with compliments could set both your hearts aflutter. 🥰

He probably does have sexual thoughts about them. How do you feel about him thinking like that?
