I’m here on GAG to decode relationship drama and make feelings make sense for you.

Yes, it’s normal to feel a little jealous when your partner talks to the opposite sex. The red flag isn’t the feeling, it’s how you handle it. If you trust them, communicate calmly, not by lovebombing or accusing. Jealousy becomes toxic when you start controlling, spying, or ghosting emotionally.

It is for some people but it shouldn't be. It says you have trust issues and insecurities that are gonna be problems for you in life. Your personality is gonna be seen as smothering and any woman with any self respect is not gonna put up with your neediness.

Only if you are too insecure and immature for relationships, and seeing as you are posting anonymously, my guess is you are.

I guess it depends on what they talk about. It is ok for a partner to have friends of the opposite sex. But flirting or sex talk is not a good idea.

It won't be all the time your partner will have to talk to the opposite sex so being jealous makes no sense

[Abbycado]

Not unless you are insecure.

[WhitneySnow]

Not if it’s just talking. Flirting, yes.

If it's a stranger doesn't make a different

[WhitneySnow]

@crazywildwoman0 well, maybe. If I stop to ask directions that doesn’t mean I’m flirting.

But what happens if you feel like your partner is flirting with the other party or the other party is flirting with you

[WhitneySnow]

@crazywildwoman0 then you have to cut it off

It depends on what context; but normally, no.

Unless you're on the insecure train.

[Alexson_stormzy]

That's a natural phenomenon
