Is being jealous sometimes ok?

[Madison101708]

I get jealous all the time when I cant be with Glen, like when he is with friends. I cant help it. I just wanna be able to be there too, ya know?

ALSO

This is off topic but there is a girl that goes to Glens school and we are friends on facebook. Anyways, this girl is always posting picture with Glen in them and it really pisses me off!! I know how girls are, Im not stupid and I know she does it JUST because she knows how much I miss him and she wants to rub in to my face that she gets to see him. I know she means nothing to him but still. She knows I will she her updates and it tears me up! I just wanna punch her. I wanna say something to her but I just dont know what to say... She once took a pic of her standing by Glen looking down at Glens private area and did a thumbs up. I think that too it way to far.

A little jealousy is perfectly normal in any relationship. But I agree that if the girl on FB took that picture just to rub it in your face, it was taking it too far.

BTW, Noticed you're from Georgia and your SO is from Kentucky. I live in Kentucky, but my SO is also from Georgia. lol

Jealousy is normal, to a degree. With that girl I think, in my own opinion, being jealous of the pictures is silly but the one about his junk I understand. If that's the worst of it then I'd just be mildly unhappy that she has the photo opportunity while being glad you see more photos of him.

To be honest, I'm not jealous of my SO's friends, any female friends he has, or the time people he's around in Florida get to spend with him when I'm here. It's weird because I have a history of extreme jealousy towards people I get attached to, but there you have it. The stuff just never crosses my mind.

I do think it's perfectly natural and I'll be honest that I totally understand where you're coming from.When my cousin was dating her now-husband long distance she used to cry at night sometimes and tell me she was jealous of his family because they got to be around him all the time. I didn't really understand her back then but I absolutely do now as I do the same thing, and I think it's a unique type of jealousy that comes with LDRs as opposed to just being jealous over an ex-girlfriend or something (which DOES happen with some couples but I think what you're talking about is different than that).

I can understand why her pictures would make you uncomfortable as well. I don't think you should say anything to her just yet but maybe bring it up with your bf that it makes you uncomfortable that she's allowed to take those particular types of photos, much less post them online.

I get jealous too. Sometimes over really stupid things I guess. My SO tries to deal with it, but I do know it's quite hard sometimes. I do try to work on it though. Because I know that I have nothing to worry about. Especially since... I trust my SO. I really and absolutely do. It's those other people I don't always trust.

^^ this! I trust my SO, he has trouble when I get jealous of his ex-girlfriend, but how can I not then she keeps putting things up like "lets go to chicago, you an me" and "I miss you =(" I know he blocks her calls and doesn't reply to things she writes... I know she's just in general crazy (I've heard stories from other people, not just my SO) but it's just aaaaaargh!!!!

just because I trust my SO doesn't mean I have to trust other people. I hate the fact they get to spend time with him and I don't, but at the same time, I don't want him to become a hermit because of me either. So even though it hurts to think of him going to bars and stuff without me, I encourage him to go, I want him to be happy. So long as he doesn't go out to pick up girls that is. I'm so contradictory lol

I don't get jealous when he hangs out with friends tbh, I want him to lol. He doesn't really have female friends (any that I know of anyway!) so there's not much to worry about

I do get super jealous sometimes though when he leaves me to go watch football!

I'm a little bit jealous of his friends because they get to spend so much time with him, but at the same time I know he wouldn't do anything suspicious with his female friends. Before with my ex bfs I've had some control issues. I would be quite jealous of them partying and me not being there and so on. I felt like I needed their attention 24/7. But now I can't be with my SO much anyways so I can't "demand" more attention. ;P Besides, I know we'll live together for many years anyways so I guess I can wait a bit longer. I've learned to give some space.

I've never trusted anyone more than my SO now. I know he loves me and I know he wants to make this work just as much as I do.

Maybe you could talk to your SO about the feelings you have when you see the pictures of him and her. Maybe you could say that you felt a bit offended about the thumbs up picture. I would be offended too.

I think if you're very sure that girl uploaded all those pictures on purpose just to make you feel bad, then why do you still check her facebook from time to time? It must be hard at the beginning but stop viewing those pictures, tell your SO it's annoying but it won't change anything between you and him, and after a while you'll forget about it. If there's a friend on mine who takes pictures of us just to make my SO feel bad, as soon as I know this, I'll keep some distance with this friend. I believe your SO will understand as your bed feelings are not unreasonable at all.

This!

Being jealous occasionally is normal, as long as you don't let it consume you. I don't really worry about Penn though...the boy has NO game, whatsoever. He jokes that it's a miracle that he hooked me.

I get jealous all the time lol Mostly if my bf hangs with girls lol But I talk to him, I also told him that I get super jealous and he assured me that they are just friends and that theres nothin to worry about and I guess its just a matter of trust.
I'd tell him if this one girl annoys me and then wait till I'd be with him again and secretly beat the hell out of her XD jk lol

[leonina]

Solution: Block her updates on Facebook. Tada!

[Mio]

I think some jealosy is normal, we would like to be with our SO's all the time! But that girl, she sounds out of line. Try to let her know to back off.

Thank you guys so much!!

A little jealously is definitely normal in any kind of relationship as long as you don't get crazy jealous!
