How would you deal with an extremely jealous girlfriend?

Question

She gets jealous when I watch TV or go out because she thinks I will be checking girls out the whole time, both on TV and when I am out. What should I do? Is this normal?

Answer 1

Well you ask her if she thinks other guys are hot.

Be like "Hey, do you think like Justin Timberlake is hot. Or Ashton Kutcher?"

I mean, it's no big deal. She shouldn't be THAT jealous.  

Answer 2

First off you will check out other girls it is human.Second just remind her who is by your side and in front of you,her so she should not worry.It's not like an actress is going to come out of the tv and steal you...

Answer 3

dude that is actually common in a lot of girls, exept not to that extent. most girls dont freak about watching tv. wat u need to do is set her strait and tell her what she is doing isnt right, or dump her.

Answer 4

dump her

Answer 5

Talk to her about it. It's normal for her to get jealous, but REALLY, she gets mad when you watch TV?! Something's wrong there.

Answer 6

Tell her to stop being so jealous and that u only have eyes for her and im sure she looks at other guys to.plus the girls on tv are like actresses right?its not like u can get with them im not saying ur ugly but u know what im saying :)

Answer 7

Maintain a safety distance of at least 1 mile from her at all times.

Answer 8

It's normal for someone who is very insecure with themselves. I don't think she is actually worried about you cheating but more worried that you will find girls more attractive than her. I use to be extremely jealous but it fades with age because you become more accepting of yourself and who you are. I think you should reassure that nothing is going to happen and that are you still allowed to find girls attractive but it's doesn't mean you would ever do anything to ruin your relationship!!

Answer 9

If you like this girl then I wouldn't suggest "dumping her." If she is getting jealous because you look at a girl while watching TV this is an extreme case of insecurity. It is human nature to look at another person or think another person is attractive.  The key to a successful relationship is to be able to talk to the person and let them know how you feel.  I would suggest sitting down with her and letting her know how you feel about her and that a relationship is based on trust.  Jealousy usually stems from insecurity.  Perhaps she had a ex-boyfriend with a wandering eye.  Try to get her to open up and explain how this jealousy makes you feel. Good luck!

Answer 10

She sounds very jealous, which means that she's probably very insecure. Maybe somebody's cheated on her in the past, or maybe she's just self-conscious. If you like her, talk to her before you dump her. Tell her that you're a normal guy who wants to have a normal life, and that she can't expect you to throw TV and parties, and anything else that might involve potential girls, out of your life. Let her talk to you, but if she doesn't change her ways, do what's best for you. Good luck.

Answer 11

I think she trippin! If a girl cant trust her own boyfriend then there's a problem. You need some kind of special way to let her know that she can trust you. You should do something to gain her trust.

Answer 12

Absolutely not normal. If she can't trust you, why is she with you? Have you given her a reason to not trust you?

I would talk to her about her jealousy and tell her that it is seriously affecting how you feel about her. Let her know she has no reason to worry and that if she did, you wouldn't be with her!

Give her some time to adjust to that talk and if it doesn't change within a few weeks you need to decide if you can handle that or not, because if you can't handle it I believe it is time to dump her!

Answer 13

DUMP HER! lol

Answer 14

not normal. id dump her

Answer 15

it's not normal, it's extremely jealous!

if you really like her and don't wanna lose her, then you NEEED to talk to her about it, explain it's not gonna work if she's like that.

and if you don't, dump her!

Answer 16

god you sound just like my boyfriend lol

dont dump your girlfriend! thats just stupid! It seems to me that she is very insecure and doesnt think alot of herself. You should let her know how much you like her and how attractive and pretty she is to you and that no one can compare to her. Just keep building her self-esteem up as this is the main problem. She may also be afriad of you leaving her because you see so many good looking girls that you will then see her as ''ugly''. Let her know that she will always he the nicest girl you have ever seen no matter what.

Answer 17

rid yourself of her :)

Answer 18

Dump her...NOW!

Answer 19

get rid of her no girl is worth that sh*t trust me i know from personal experience

Answer 20

Get rid of her fast and find someone else.

Answer 21

A little jealousy is normal, extreme jealousy is not normal. If she has trust in you she should not be worried if you go out with your friends. If she is getting jealous when you are watching TV, that is extreme. The fact is, you do not live in a hole and you have a right to have your own life. If she can not be happy without you it is more her problem that yours. You need to let her know that this is not acceptable and if she can not learn to get past it how is the relationship going to work. You do not want to sacrifice your happiness for someone else.

Answer 22

Tell her goodbye and never look back.

Answer 23

If you are smart you will read the warning signs and run for the hills!!! If not then don't say we did not warn you!!! Good Luck!!

Answer 24

Nope not normal.  She has serious self esteem issues to be that jealous.  You have a right to have your own identity and life.  It sounds like you may need a new girlfriend.
