Greeneyed Monster
What is the best way to get over your feelings of jealousy? I'm finding it harder and harder to stay my cool self in certain situations. Any advice on how to "get over it" and just "deal" so I don't make an ass of myself :moon:?

Hmmmm... can't say I know of any solutions. All I can offer is... You're not alone. I'm overcome by said monster at times and I just breathe deep and try my hardest to keep cool.

I've kept cool but my face is easy to read. My gf just looks at my face and asks, "what are you thinking?" If I answer "nothing" you kinda know where the conversation goes from there. I don't like being jealous of her friends which are mostly guys. She says her friendship with them isn't like that and I'm not an insecure guy but you can't keep your head clear with logic all the time.
I don't want to be at some party have a few drinks and then be branded the asshole because I blew up at some innocent bit of flirtation that I would do and would usually never bat an eye at.

Well souls,………. You could kill something……………… but you’d just get to see the same green-eyed monster on Bubas’ face when Leroy took you for HIS own.
Maybe you’re dealing with two different CORE issue that just required time and a deep look to see. If after the pleasure of going through the feathers, you find it has webbed feet and quacks, perhaps be grateful for the feathers and move on until you find the Chick you are looking for.

So...you either trust HER...or you don't! Lot's of women have more male than female friends. Least, they think of them as just friends...and only friends. I can't say I believe that the male friends only want to be friends. Usually, if given the chance, they'd take it further. But...you have to trust that your g/f means what she says. If you don't trust her...the greeneyed monster will get you everytime! Trust me when I say...if she is sincere and she keeps her intentions with her friends known to them...she can handle them should a more friendly situation arise!

souls-cry2000---The only person that you can really satisfy,is the person
that looks back from the mirror.If you always worry about the consequences,
you don't do anything & then people walk all over you.The last time(Aggravated Assault)that I was sentenced,to prison(3yrs&1day)everyone else
,in prison,had already been warned to leave me alone,by a person that had been there already.Was I scared?One word- YES!You have to decide,how
you want people,to remember you.Many will disagree,with me,but I had to
look in my mirror.Analise your situation & do what you think that you should!
Irish
P.S.Advice:Bubba doesn't want to be "rearranged" so he will,sensibly,leave you alone!

I think that you have to be happy with yourself to make someone else happy. If you are truly happy in your relationship with your S/O, don't you think you make her happy too? Perhaps she is just as happy as you are. NEVER assume the worst -- she deserves more repect than that. Most likely these guys are just friends and no more.
Some women get along better with guys than girls....I am one of these....I just have not been able to find more than a couple of women who I can get along with. Women are complicated, and their relationships are complicated ~ you can sit down with a guy, drink a beer, shoot the shit, and just BE. Women are more intense.
It's unhealthy not to have friends...everyone needs friends outside of a relationship. Something for themselves ~ a sounding board, some free time, someone to relax with. Most likely these guys serve this purpose. If these frineds make your S/O happy....then they're good for your relationship. "Cause she can't make YOU happy if she isn't happy too.

I left two big relationships because of jealousy & would do so again in a heartbeat.
For me, I feel like a possession of sorts if he's being possessive. I don't feel respected or trusted if someone is jealous for no reason.
If you've been hurt in the past, you can't let that cloud your feelings for your current love.

I have to agree with that.In my life,I always could talk to women,better then
men.It's almost funny,because the men that I got along,the worst with,turned
out to be my best friends.We didn't get along,initialy,because we were so much alike! Irish
P.S.The main thing, is knowing yourself & being happy with yourself!
