Is it normal for somebody who has cheated to become very jealous?

My boyfriend (who cheated on his last gf of four years) gets very jealous whenever he thinks guys flirt with me. When I tell him there's no need to worry, he responds "I know, it's just you're so pretty and he is clearly trying!" (i must be some kind of goddess because all guys seem to like me in his opinion - which isn't true at all!).

Might it be because.. well ,he's cheated before, so he knows how it works? :|

    Sounds like he doesn't trust you. Without trust a relationship has no firm foundation. I'd leave him now, before this turns ugly. Either he's going to cheat on you or accuse you of cheating on him. You have no way to win.

    That is behavior of someone that is currently cheating. They fear their own actions. If you're sure he isn't being unfaithful than maybe your theory is right. He may just be possessive, scared to lose you or to be hurt the way he may have hurt his ex

    If he already cheated on you, chances are he's a scripted trying to get you back.

    Tell him to take a hike or something.

    He figures, if he cheated everyone else probably does.
    I hate jealous guys, he should be flattered that other guys want you. This sounds like the beginning of a very controlling not fun relationship hunny.

    it could be you cheated too and you're not admitting it to us because you're a spoiled hypocrite who has always been pampered and catered to.
