My dp is lovely. He's open and friendly and always sees the best in everyone... man, woman of all ages. He has a lot of female friends.... most of whom are older.
He is also on extremely good terms with his ex wife and her partner. His ex cheated on my dp with her man for years. At first i couldnt get over the fact he was on such good terms with his ex because of her behaviour but i actually get on well with her. I no longer feel at all threatened by their friendship although i was at first.
I dont want to change him as i love his openness but i do worry that some women might get the wrong signals from him. He is not pervy or flirty.... just quite open and dosnt put up barriers.
For example, an ex friend of mine moaned to us that she was feeling fat and he mentioned that she still looked beautiful. She took this as a flirt and started to pursue him. We no longer talk.
So im not jealous because i thonk he will cheat... im jealous as i dont want others to get close to him emotionally and take him off guard.
Yes, i know im being unreasonable but how do i cope with my jealousy?
