hello.. you guys have helped me before.. i tend to get caught up in wording and just need some options outside of myself...

my boyfriend and i each have 2 kids.. our kids were hanging out together, we were all together at my house this Sunday..

this married woman (a mom in the neighborhood) texted him and asked him if the girls (8 year old girls) could get together that day.. his response was " we cant now, we are at a friends".

he told me she texted and showed me the text (i didnt ask to see it) when i asked him why she is texting on a Sunday? (i get a little jealous/posessive, please dont give me a hard time about that right now) and i got all upset that he said "a friends"

when i said why are you calling me a friend?? he said that since it was the kids that were invited, he was just saying from the kids percpective "a friends"... instead of saying to a practly stranger, im at my GFs and the kids are playing with her kids etc..... and didnt mean Me as a friend.

he later said he realized how that sounds and wanted to correct it, since that didnt even cross his mind... so he sent another text saying he was at his GFs for the day and didnt think it would work out that day.. and then showed me.. he said he understood and wanted to make it right and that he didnt want to give her or me the wrong impression.

i cant see him going after a married woman or cheating but it seemed like it would be a way to just keep an option open.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

Poor guy.

You got upset over nothing.

Sorry.

You're trying to find a problem where there is none.

holy drama. I don't know why your boyfriend is with you to be honest. You really should work on your jealousy and possessiveness, eventually he will get tired of dealing with it. The fact he even felt the need show you texts because of the way you act, is terrible. I have never once in over 10 years of marriage felt the need to show my husband a text, or ask about a text. He hasn't done anything wrong, and he has a right to talk to whoever he wants to.

You took it personally and made it about you when it wasn't about you at all.

Look up some articles on insecurity and jealousy to help you get over this because it will mess up your relationships.

Um...you should ask for help BEFORE you do something irrational; not after.

You don't want to talk about your jealousy or possessiveness, but this is 100& about this.

Some therapy might be in order.
