Is it normal to be jealous?

I get Jealous every time I go through my Boyfriends Phone, and I see he has been texting this girl. He know's i'm jealous, and he get's mad. But i don't understand why, I wanna be his ONE and ONLY girl. And being played a lot in your life time causes a bunch of heart ache and pain. I feel Threatened Every time i hear about here about her, or i see her name. But I want him to have friends. Just I don't know what to do to make me feel better. I don't wanna Loose him. He's My first REAL love.

    A little bit of jealousy can be attractive. At least you know someone cares about you. I've never minded when someone has asked the question or even acted a little jealous as long as they accept my answer.

    Going through my phone without me knowing is pushing it much too far, though. Particularly because, in my case, if you asked for my phone to read my texts or check my calls, I'd let you. I'm more open than most, though, and life is definitely easier when you have nothing to hide. Not everyone thinks this way. If I found you going through my phone without permission, I'd find it very difficult to trust you in the relationship.

    Not to be negative or a bringdown. But respect his privacy and don't go through his phone. Also, "real love" doesn't exist. Not that this helps at all... But I felt it should be said...

        Me? Negative? Far from it. I just think its stupid to get so hung up on another person that it can have such tragic effects. The girl has said that she has been toyed around with before. Surely this heartache isnt worth the trouble. Im merely suggesting that a person shouldnt get so wrapped up in feelings of "love", if you're just going to have it come back and bite you in the ass like this...

        "Love" is just a release of dopamine or some sort of similar chemical in the brain when someone is attracted to someone else. All this stuff about true love has just came about through Hollywood movies and romantic poems exagerating the feelings people have towards others. People talk about these feelings coming from the heart, but thats not true. Its all in the brain. We're all simply animals. "True Love" does not exist.

    Do you have guy friends?
    If you do, then let him have female friends!
    cause that would be a little hypocritical

    its normal to feel jealous. like, sometimes i do get a slight bit jealous when my boyfriend talks to other women, but i know i cant prevent him from having female friends. its pretty selfish if you dont want him having female friends.

    DONT look through his phone without his okay. cause that shows that you dont trust him, and that will show him that he cant trust you. trust me, ive seen very beautiful relationships fall because of a lack of trust.

    I'm looking for a girl like you. Too bad I'll never find someone because mostly everyone likes to have more than one person. Life is an unfortunate event with good things in between...

    i felt the exact same way about this girl who my boyfriend texts until very recently.

    pretty much what happened was that a girl i work with opened up to why she flirted with this guy we worked with last year. she told me it was because she felt like he was her only friend at work. this got me feeling really bad for disliking her for flirting and really got me thinking.

    i thought about the girl that is always texting my boyfriend and realized that she doesn't have close friends. i always see her "friends" put up pictures without her and openly talk about hanging out without her on facebook. if people flirt out of lonliness then i definitely have a newfound understanding for this girl. this really helped me get why she would text my boyfriend and i feel way less jealous now that i understand and pity her, rather than thinking she is better than me.

    that's what jealously really is, thinking that someone has what you don't have. you think someone has this pull on your boyfriend that you don't, but try going deeper in this girl's head and if you can find anything out that's negative about her i'm sure you'll feel a lot better :)

    hell yeah its normal to be jealous but not the point that you're going through his phone and spying on him. Believe me if he's cheating you won't need to do that to find out.That information just comes to you even when you don't want to know. give him his space and take a chill pill there's no way to completely protect yourself from being hurt

      At least you understand do you see all these rude comments? For god sakes the boy could go through her phone too. Cause I know I go through my girlfriends phone and she goes through mine . It makes you feel better sometimes.

    It's normal to be a little irrational, he's your first love.

    But you need to cool your jets! You're need a search warrant if you're gonna go through your things.

    Stop going through your boyfriend's phone, it's very immature. You can't expect him to stop all communication with other women. Expecting this from men will only disappoint you time and time again. If you want to have a successful relationship, you have to be comfortable enough with his feelings for you not to freak out when he speaks to other women.
