User Submitted Advice from a 31-40 year old Female Don't provoke Everyone needs space, and everyone needs companionship. Guys have to have a chance to hang out. Men talk about their feelings more to eachother about us women than we think. Imagine hanging out with nothing but men~ wouldn't you miss the comradery of your female counterparts? I know I would. But the relationship they have that you describe does sound more like a too-close-for-comfort type relationship. If the guy really did display jealousy when your partner paid attention to you, I guess that could be viewed 2 ways~ The guy could have been thinking; I drove 3 hours to get here and I'm not going to be here that long so pay attention to me. -or- If he seemed jealous that your man was touching you or displaying affection to you and the guy didn't like it, then there might be something to worry about. If you kissed a guy while you two were broke up, then that should not have been an issue. If you were broke up, he could have had the oppourtunity to kiss someone other than you as well. But if you kissed another man while you two were going steady, then you were wrong, and gave him a reason to not trust that you wouldn't do that -or worse- again. Gaining trust is hard enough. Losing trust and gaining it back is even harder. Your man calling you constantly to check up on you is his way of reassuring himself that you are not doing anything wrong. A way that you can try to regain his trust is by being there when you say your gonna be there. Reassure him of your love, devotion and loyalty every day. Tell him what you think is good about him and what he does that you think is cute or sweet. Comment on the positive things he does. Compliment his judgement when he does things right. If the relationship is worth salvaging, then work at it. If not, then you will know not to provoke the next man's distrust of you by not flirting or kissing anyone else while in a committed relationship. The Original Question and RomanceClass Answer
