Is it normal to get upset hearing my boyfriend call another girl "really sexy"?

So me and my boyfriend went to the movies and saw We're The Millers. It was a really funny movie and it has jennifer aniston play a stripper in it. And some of the scenes she strips down and dances and I'll admit, she looks awesome for her age and she's basically gorgeous. Later on that night my boyfriends phone went off and it was one of his friends. He answered it and I couldn't help see how he was explicitly saying how jennifer aniston was "really sexy" and stuff. I don't know why it bothered me so much but it did. Obviously I'm no jennifer aniston. So if he thinks she's "really sexy" he must think I'm nothing. Is it normal to feel like this?

    He would say the same about you, so stop being insecure.

    Stop being so damn ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous...I went to the movies a few weeks ago and was subjected to the preview for that movie you are speaking of and let me just say I laughed my ass off. I never had a problem with jennifer aniston and I think she's pretty, nothin special, but oh heavens no. No no no she does not look right playing a stripper. No. No. No. Its like casting carrot top to be a chippendales dude...or a rockette.

    It's okay to be upset, just don't let him know it. Never, ever let a boy- or girlfriend know you're jealous. Just laugh or shrug it off when he mentions some other woman being sexy, or whatever. Allowing the other party to think you care too much is worse than letting him/her think you don't care enough.

    I think you're overreacting...

    I'm sure he thinks that you are sexy too, but let's face it, who doesn't get star-struck once in a while? Know what I mean?

    It's normal to be jealous. But then it's normal to recognise that jealousy as an instinctive and involuntary response and nothing more. His saying that is an admission of having a sex drive. It's not saying he finds you less attractive than her, wants to break up with you and go out with her, wants to cheat on you with her etc. etc.

    If it really bothers you, mention to him that it makes you feel bad when he describes other girls as sexy.

    But most people who are secure in their relationship and trust their partner are comfortable enough to discuss celebrity crushes and the like. One of my ex's found Johnny Depp really hot. Another one found Marlon Brando really hot. We could happily discuss famous people we found attractive, and it wouldn't mean anything. As I say, it's a sign of security and maturity when you can do so without feeling threatened.

    Oh geez, Jennifer Aniston was very sexy in that movie. I saw it with my boyfriend and that night when we were going to bed and I was taking off my clothes he said, "Oh are you going to strip like Jennifer Aniston?!" I said, "I'm no Jennifer Aniston! You're just going to have to settle." We laughed, had sex then went to sleep. The End.

    Are there any other people you think are physically attractive apart from him? I'm guessing the answer is yes. Does that means you think he is worthless? I'm guessing the answer is no.

    To be honest, it sounds like your self-esteem is really low. 'He must think I'm nothing' says it all! : / So he thinks a woman is physically appealing and thinks she's sexy. That's all. I'm guessing he doesn't know Jennifer Aniston, so can't possibly have feelings for her. He just thinks an actor/actress is physically appealing. It doesn't go beyond that. I'm sure most people can think of at least one actor they like the look of.

  • It's normal he thinks other girls are sexy. Just because he thinks another girl is sexy doesn't mean he doesn't think you are. Someone can think more than one girl is sexy. You are being stupid.

    When you flip this to the other side of the coin, I'm sure you think that guys other than your boyfriend are good looking to you including other male celebrities that people drool over, its okay to admit it. Truth is, other attractive people exist whether you're single or not and its unrealistic for everyone else in the world to become ugly once you choose someone, they will remain cute either way. The difference is that out of all those attractive people, he or she chose their partner so of course they think their choice is cute too. As long as your bf doesn't say that every 2 seconds around you, everything is fine.

    Besides, its a celebrity, hardly a touchable person and the most people do is hang up posters on their wall.

    Is he banging you?

    if yes no need to panic

    if no he's probably fucking someone else already.

    The next movie you go to, do the same to him and say some actor is really hot to your friend, see how he reacts.

    How would u feel if your bf said that to one of your close friends? I had that happen to me and felt most uncomfortable ! He was drunk as well...Apparently he says it to all his girl 'mates' O.o

    Sooo you've never made the casual, natural, and benign observation that any other male out there (a celebrity..etc) is attractive or sexy? this does NOT mean you will act on it, simply note that they are..?

    I never understood how females have such insecurity issues and dwell on unnecessary irrational jealousy from their partners

    Since Jenifer Aniston is a celebrity this is relatively normal. If he were all excited about your best friend or next door neighbor then it would definitely be not normal.

    It's not normal, but it is also NOT unusual.
    If you have a strong relationship with this guy, just be thankful that he's going ga ga over some girl he can never even meet let alone have, rather than your best friend.
    To be jealous of the unattainable is just silly. But keep it up, let it become a big thing, rather than leave it alone to die an unimportant death, and there is a good chance you will not have a boyfriend to be jealous about.

  • I was half expecting this to be about him saying it in conversation to you, which I was going to say is pretty bad of him to say.

    He said it in privacy to his friend, so I think you may have snooped in to his privacy and found this out, which I can't say is anyone elses fault but your own.
