Is it normal to be jealous of my daughter's boyfriend?

i'm a single father and my daughter is now 14 and i find myself having feels of jealousy towards her boyfriend. she has always been daddy's little girl and we shared a close bond up until she was 11, then at 12 she started acting out and rebelling against authority and it put a strain on our relationship. she still loves me but she has a hard time trying to show it, and things aren't the same between us as it was in the past. i still love her a lot, but she is growing up too fast. we used to do literally everything together, and i taught her everything i know. now whenever i try to be affectionate, it only makes her grow more distant from me. i'll never forget all those times my girl was scared and curled up in bed next to me, and i just held her tight till morning, staring at my precious angel. we have this bond that can never be broken. i don't trust her boyfriend, not just because this is her first time dating, but because i can tell that he is not as honest as he appears to be. and that worries me, that he might hurt her.

    You could always give him an impossible task to fulfill for the honor of dating your daughter. Head of a lion, feather of a harpy. That sort of thing.

    My ex had a very close and special relationship with her father. He didn't want me to date her because I was taking her away from him. They still had a very close connection even after we were engaged. He did teach her everything about men and how to please them. She became addicted to physical contact and intimacy. She needed him more than he needed her by the time she was 15.
