Is it normal to get jealous when your guyfriend kisses another girl in front of you?

Just that really and what is the likely meaning of it if a woman catches her close guyfriend kissing another girl? Is it feelings? Jealousy? Disgust at the woman he’s chosen to kiss? Or all of the above?

yes everyone is entitled to kiss/be with who they want within reason but I just feel a little confused over why someone would feel intense jealousy over a guyfriend kissing another girl?

This is very confusing OP. One minute you are referring to the person he kissed as a woman, next minute you call her a girl. Is she very young? Are you all 3 very young?
Why is this guy kissing this woman/ girl infront of you anyway?

Some people feel concerned that if their friend of the opposite sex gets into a relationship the new partner will stop the friendship. This causes insecurity and resentment if the friend is dating.

Some people have feelings for their friends.

Some people don't like the partners their friend chooses.

None of us can say which it is in your situation.

How old are you OP?

What is a guyfriend? What we used to call in our non-hag days a boyfriend? A FWB?

mathanxiety · 03/07/2025 02:28

What exactly is a 'guyfriend'?

A boyfriend, or a friend who happens to be male?

Steelworks · 03/07/2025 02:29

Confused about the term ‘guyfriend’ as well. Is that just a male friend who you saw kiss their girlfriend or female friend, and you’re jealous?

steff13 · 03/07/2025 02:37

If you mean that you saw your male friend kiss another woman and you felt jealous about it, I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you why you feel that way exactly. That's something you're going to have to think about and figure out for yourself.

SummerFrog25 · 03/07/2025 02:44

I think the OP might be the one he kissed & doesn't understand why his 'friend' who is a girl is pissed off with her?!

simsbustinoutmimi · 03/07/2025 04:47

You have feelings for him, that’s why you’re jealous.

I will admit I do and I’ve became a bit too close to him. He’s been there for me through some really hard times lately

i read your other thread. This is the guy you’re having an emotional affair with...

MNpenisadvisor · 03/07/2025 13:30

But you claim you're not having an affair?!

Back off if he’s not interested and already has a girlfriend. Shoot your shot if he’s single.

Lammveg · 03/07/2025 21:30

Glad to see you took the advice from the previous thread.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 03/07/2025 21:31

You have a crush, he has a girlfriend, back away.

WhereOnEarthIsMyPlanet · 03/07/2025 21:35

You feel jealous because, as you told us in your last thread, you are in love with him. Surely you could have figured that one out for yourself?
Have you taken a pregnancy test yet?

The OP is married with a child.

So there's a lot more than kissing going on then

Well just to complicate matters she thinks she may be pregnant with her husband’s baby (not the ‘guy friend’)

QuietChairClub · 03/07/2025 22:38

LOL thank you for this laugh, the comments and the wider context really did it for me. Class

Husband? Oh Jesus... I thought they must be 19/20 year olds with all this kissing & guyfriend business. Is the 'guyfriend' also a possible father to the possible baby?? is he interested in the OP or happy with his GF?

I agree. Maybe this was enough to make you realise it.

KrisAkabusi · 04/07/2025 00:17

You know why! You're in love with him and you're practically having an affair with him. You said on your other thread that you've "steppen on the line" with him a couple of times. Theres no mystery here.

KimberleyClark · 04/07/2025 00:20

The term “guyfriend” gives me the ick for some reason.

outerspacepotato · 04/07/2025 02:09

First, POAS. That's your first priority, not who:s kissing who.

You're married, but jealous of your emotional affair partner kissing other women. Did you think a guy you described as a player would stay celibate to be your affair partner?

If you don't want to be with your husband, get a divorce already.

You seem to enjoy the drama.

Guyfriend. Jeez. 😑
