Why does he try to make me jealous ?

[Bwo]

Hi there,

This has been getting to me quite a bit and am unsure how to deal with it.

My partner often tells me about women he knows who "alledgedly" fancy him. If I was to believe him then almost all of the female population is after him ( and hes no George Clooney by any means ) I suspect its a ploy to try and make me jealous. I find it very hurtful and disrepectful. To date I haven't reacted to it but hes been doing it for it some time & ignoring it dosen't seem to be working.

Help plz, thanx

Don't ignore it tell him 'he is no George Clooney' or play him at his own game see how he feels.

It's not working because he's a twat. Tell him if he keeps on, it's over. It's a lack of respect for you and he does it because you let him.

I don't agree i think it speaks volumes that he must be very low and unsure of himslef.

Many people with low self esteem, use the fact that they have a wonderful, attractive partner to boost themselves. Acting like an arsehole isn't an excuse.

I do agree that its a sign hes insecure. We have a good relationship otherwise. I find it strange too that the women he talks about are women I'm never likely to meet so cannot verify his words.

I do need to talk to him about it and ask him if hes looking for some reaction etc.

Have you anything keeping you with this guy other than inertia?

If not, bin him. Who cares why he's a twat. He's a twat and life's too precious to waste on trying to cure people of their twattery.

Bwo - I think he's telling white lies he is definatly looking for a reaction.. tell him you think it's great other people fancy him as you don't want him anymore then give him the cold shoulder might shock him into realising what a twat he is being.

Tell him that you are tiring of this school boy ploy and that it makes him less attractive. And that if he grew up you might fancy him a bit more....

what an arse. i have a friend with a DH like this, and he is woefully insecure and i think thats why he does it. he is also minging erm "no george clooney" :o
