Yeah I got you completely , back when I had trust issues I was a bit like your ex , but at the same time she would commonly give other guys way more attention than me , and I ' m not exaggerating , so that bugged me a lot , it never really felt like we were together , I was fucked up too but stillHonestly the longer we were together the more likely she was to leave me , it wasn ' t s good relationship anyway a lot of that was due to me . But now I look at it like she chose me over them and as a guy you naturally don ' t trust other guys because a lot of times some of those guys DO in fact have intentions to try and take the girl for themselves , not always but it happens more than you might think but if I trust my gf then I shouldn ' t worry about it . At the same time though , unless it ' s just the kind of guy who gets jealous at everything , I do think it ' s best to at least hear the man out about a guy he doesn ' t like , there ' s probably s reason . Like I said though . If you ' re dating someone who ' s easilyJealous of everything with a penis , he ' s not gonna like anybody . And honestly I don ' t have a problem with my gf if I had one lol being friendly but there ' s gotta be a limit you know ? I wouldn ' t like it if the guys do big really obvious things like calling her beautiful and this and that and then she just says he ' s being nice . That ' s too naive in my opinion , but otherwise I wouldn ' t try to take her friends away , that ' s just wrong . I understand what you mean , it probably felt like he was a bit controlling and maybe he was but I always feel like for both sides , it ' s best to keep an open mind when talking about others friends . I know this was kinda rambly lol
