Is this type of jealousy ok?

2 Comments

I've been dating my bf for 8 months, it's a long distance relationship and he is very kind. But about 4 months into the relationship I was by a stranger raped and, at this time I really really loved him and it devastated both of us. To comfort me he told me he once saved a girl he had never knew or dated from rape. It honestly bothers me that he can save some random chick but not his gf? I mean I understand that he couldn't save me and that he saved her, before he met me but, I mean it just gets under my skin. I'm happy she was saved but, I guess I'm just jealous. I'm also sorry about how I feel jealous.

    Your jealousy is irrational but totally justifiable. Sorry about what happened, wish you the best on recovery.

    This is perfectly normal!

    It is horrible what you had to go through and it's understandable why you feel like you couldn't feel saved.
    He might have said that hoping that it would make you feel like he would never ever try to do something like that to you and wants to let you know through his own experiences with rape.

    Before telling him that you feel this way, or maybe at all, try to understand his point of view before you can comferm how you feel.

    Hope this helps.
