Is it normal for a partner to try their hardest to make you jealous

Okay so I got this girlfriend who tries her damnedest to make me jealous. She is constantly making comments about this guy or that one who has the hots for her, who hits on her, who wants to date her. She tells me how she had a booty call before she met me. Reads her texts out loud from other guys.(supposed coworkers). I'm thinking this is her way of showing me that she is a desirable person and to show me how much I should want her. Maybe her ass is cheating on me. I don't know. But instead of making me jealous it's pissing me off. I'm thinking of dropping her ass. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Immaturity + insecurity= bullshit games

    Ditch her.

    She's no good until she grows up. If you stay with her, she will keep pushing the envelope to get a response from you.

      Good answer. I'm biased because I love anything that looks even remotely like algebra, but it was a very good answer anyway.

    She sounds attention hungry and wants to be wanted. There's nothing wrong with wanted to be wanted but she's going about it the wrong way.

    From a female perspective.. She's not normal. I wouldn't ever do that on purpose. I would never intentionally try to make my husband jealous, ever. Apparently some "girls" do. It could be that I am 40 years old and very secure in my relationship. When men hit on me now, I laugh about it, and usually tell my husband but certainly not to make him jealous. He tells me as well. We both have a good chuckle over it and it's done. I am surprised that people behave this way to intentionally hurt one another. I doubt you have done anything wrong to deserve such treatment. Sounds like she has ASB, or what I like to call Attention Seeking Behavior. Sucks. Sorry dude.

    Her trying to make you jealous may seem like she really wants you and your attention, but at the same time it's childish and selfish to make another person feel that way on purpose. She should care enough about your feelings to refrain from causing you any negative feelings (unless it's over something important).

    Talk to her about that and if she doesn't care or see anything wrong with it, then that pretty much tells you what to do.

    She seems like a very self-conscious, immature, attention seeking person. Maybe you should discuss this with her. Maybe her past makes her this way..

    Most of my boyfriends were like that, and ended up cheating. Cuz I didn't pay attention to their attention-craving ass lol

    So its common for a woman to be an insecure and inconsiderate bitch? I think not. If so, I can see why so many guys are starting to come out the closet.

    I actually think this is really common. She just wants you to know that you're lucky to have her- maybe you should tell her that sometimes. Just say "you're great, and im so proud that you chose me." usually that's all someone needs to hear.

    She should be careful about doing that.

    Eventually someone's going to call her bluff and tell her "fine - go be with one of those other men. Get the hell out."

    And if she's not prepared to leave she's going to have a very rude awakening.

      You should do this, op. This is how you should get rid of her.
      Then when she tries to cover her tracks, break it all down for her.

    From what I've noticed it would be her way of demanding your attention. She would probably feel more wanted by you if you where jealous. Her man feeling jealous gives her the ego boost she needs. I have seen and heard about women like that and I would dump her to the curb; very dysfunctional.

    It might be for something else altogether that she is doing that of course. I'd still kick her out of my life.

    she sounds weird. I'd teach her a lesson and become scarce.

    Tell her she's treading on thin ice!! She is clearly taking you for granted here, and it's not acceptable in my book, and really passive aggressive as they say, this girl has issues my friend! I would never do that to my man and he'd never do it to me.

    She sounds like an 'Attention Whore' but really it gets her nowhere. I don't suggest you stay with her because she won't stop.

  • I'd drop her, fuck all that bullshit. If she's so desirable, then why would she want to make you her lover jealous? I don't understand her but yeah drop her ASAP.
