Is it normal to be jealous

I have been dating my boy friend for over a year now. Whenever I hear about him talking to a girl I get so jealous. I don't know why because I know he would never cheat on me. I never used to be this way . Now it seems like it's giving me anxiety. My stomach hurts and I start feeling sick. I hate it. I hate feeling like that.

    This is normal but it's not good. It means to this day you still don't trust him. Even though you say you know he won't cheat on you, you don't trust him. If you can't trust him and your always upset when you hear he talked to a girl...your obviously afraid he will one day cheat on you.

    You have to learn to trust him and know for sure you can trust him....otherwise the relationship will one day end.

  • Try not being such a control freak and it'll go away.

    It's a natural human emotion.
    You do the math.

    Just don't make it a major theme in your life and interpersonal relationships, because that's not very healthy :P

    jealous is so normal, but it shoudlnt be so bad if its just with a female friend or someone in his class. not to the point were ya feel lots of anxity.

    he shoudl make you feel secure enough that you wouldt worry about other girls int he picture, even if a girl trys to hit on him! but i guess if the chick is smoking hot i can see how you could feel jealous!

    i would just maybe bring it up in a joking to let him knwo how ya feel and laugh about it and see how he reacts.

    try not to be jealosu though like to a crayz extent will only drive him away be a confident, proud women that he picked you. and you the girl hes with now. not some ranomder!

    good luck!

    Seriously drop that habit, I had a jealous girlfriend and believe me it never ends up good...

    We can deal for about a year, but then we really start distancing our self from the constant nagging..

    Be happy he is talking about it, it’s when he’s not talking about it you need to worry, and think to yourself "he's dating me not them"

    Seriously don't be like that

    Whenever you "hear about" him talking to a girl? You mean people tell you they saw him hitting on a girl? He shouldn't be doing that and you are right to get upset.

    If you get jealous when he talks to girls in class or at work or whatever, then that's a little over the top.
