Wrong, jealousy is the most primal form of love. Just go with it, he's only concerned because he cares.

Yup. And stalking is the most sincere expression of that love. Women just don't know what true love is.

How would you deal with jealousy and possessiveness?


Jealousy and possessiveness tend to be projections from their own issues. If they think you are doing something you shouldn't...it is typically because they are doing something they shouldn't. If you can't break up, then counseling to get real communication going is the only way.

Nope. She's crazy about him. That's why I said breaking up is out of the question. She says she knows why he's insecure from his past. But I don't get it. He's one of the hottest guys I've ever met and has a good personality, aside from the irrational jealousy

Nope. Legit suspicion never simply leads to amnesia.

I guess my question is can these people get better and how do you help them do it?


Yes, but after a long time. Like years.
Mainly, she needs to find out the cause of the mistrust and work it out from there. She also needs to not bring up the past. We know our SO's have hooked up with other people prior to us, but are not big fans of hearing about it. It triggers that "I know I have her, but the fact that she brings this up means she's thinking about it" voice in the head.

There's an old saying that goes...



Jealousy starts,
Pain is to follow,
Suck some dude off in his car,
And then swallow.



Or something like that.

Unfortunately, if he's that jealous she'll never be able to prove she has nothing to hide. You can't prove a negative.

I agree

Never dated anyone like that. But my experience with friends is that the behavior really never goes away. He'll always be jealous and untrusting.

If someone accepts this behavior and considers breaking up to be out of the question then that's on them. Demand change or end it - it's that simple.

No doubt, women today are insane and don't know what they want. One second they're like "leave me alone" and ten seconds later they're threatening to call the cops. Which is it? Make up your mind!

Crazy broads.

Years? frick that

And I don't care about my SO's past at all. He can talk about it all he wants. We all have one, some more than others

This is really it's own brand of relationship trouble. Didn't she just finish intensive therapy? She might need a do-over.
