Boy issues + Insecurities :(

So. For the last couple of weeks I had been feeling pretty ty and insecure about myself. Reason being that....well about 2 weeks ago, my boyfriend came to visit me and of course I went out with him together with a few other of my colleagues. The thing about my boyfriend is that he's really, really friendly and gets along easily with everyone. So ok no problem with that.

But then I found out that this one female colleague had been texting him almost everyday after our night out, and I am insanely, insanely jealous. (I know this cos my boyfriend told me about it. He honestly was getting annoyed with her daily texts but he's just way too nice to tell her off. Or just plain ignore her).

I gotta say that yes, he is quite a looker, but c'mon it's not like she doesn't know that him and I are a couple! At the same time I am super pissed at him for continuously entertaining this and I am pretty sure by now that she probably thinks he likes her or something. Knock on wood I seriously hope that is not true, but this whole thing has pretty much left me feeling insecure about myself. Maybe because the fact that I think she's way hotter than me and way more sociable. What if she really manages to seduce him? :/

I already told my boyfriend about how I feel, but he kept on telling me not to worry, he doesn't have any feelings for her and blablabla the usual cliche stuff. BUT I STILL WORRY. That one day he suddenly might just call it off and runs away with her. 

This has been bugging me for this past 2 weeks and it doesn't help that I have to see this 's face almost everyday. And it has somehow made me feel not special anymore because my boyfriend is talking to another girl on a daily basis. Well...texting. But still. It just annoys the out of me! And I know that this girl does have feelings for him because whenever my boyfriend calls me at work, her stupid head would always suddenly perk up from her desk and she always tells me to say 'Hi' to him over the phone. (How about you say hi to my FIST). AND, she would ALWAYS talk about the things that my boyfriend told her over their texts--I mean, what are you trying to do here?

Been so down about this and I feel so helpless because as much as I want them both to stop this nonsense, I just don't have the power to. I don't wanna be like an over-controlling girlfriend that decides which girl can my boyfriend befriend or not. I have this little evil thought about doing the same thing to my boyfriend, by texting some dude everyday, just so that he can feel what I feel. But I dunno if that is a good idea or not :/

I'm kinda reluctant to talk about this to my other colleagues and friends because I don't want them to think that I'm being paranoid over the whole situation, hence why I'm pouring out my heart here.

 

*sigh* ..... I dunno what to do...... TT_TT

PS: I think your colleague is jealous of you and your boyfriends relationship.

OK...I'm married and have some experience with this. My hubby isn't a hot dude or anything (I'm being honest, not mean), and a lot of my friends like to hang all over him when we go to the bar, or even at a party we throw at home.

THOSE WOMEN ARE THE INSECURE ONES. I do NOT have a jealous bone in my body, but let me tell you, if they texted my hubby, he would block that number. Will your boyfriend do that?

My hubby is an amazing man, makes good money and is funny sad hellll! It's his funny nature that have the women flocking to him. I trust my hubby 100% and you will have to with your boyfriend as well.

Ask him to block her number. Let us know what happens! I know how you feel...it is so irritating that women...friends even act this way!!!

I do love that you two communicate so well, that usually is a problem in relationships!

Good luck!!!!

Some girls just don't have any manners! Texting another girl's man on a daily basis is way too much. But who knows? Maybe its just friendly conversation. But if you want to exert your "back off " assertiveness, I would definitely make it known to her that you're aware of all the text messages she's sending to him. Perhaps bring it up in conversation that you & bf thought her last text message was hilarious or what not. I don't know. I'm not suggesting you play games or anything - I just know that if someone told me they read my text message meant for someone else, I'd definitely think twice before sending another message.

In your case though, I would leave it alone. Your relationship has survived long distance and your boyfriend seems upfront and honest with you. You've already informed him about how you feel and anything more would make him question your trust in him. At this point, you just have to have faith in your guy and your relationship. But if it continues to bother you - ask yourself, why? Is it because he's spending more time with her instead of you? (in which case, there are other issues here involved) Or is it really your own insecurities about yourself (which I highly doubt you have anything to be insecure about! stop thinking that way!) Maybe the text messages are actually a catalyst for something else. In either case, don't get down! And definitely don't plot revenge! All relationships go through their moments.

I'd tell him again. Also I'd tell the girl as well. You're in a committed relationship and that girl needs to know where she stands.
