I'm currently dating a guy a year and a half younger than me. We are in a grueling doctorate program together and are in the same class. I've had a few long term relationships before and obviously haven't found the right guy. He is a loving, sweet, fun-loving fantastic person. I like to have fun, love helping people and trying to find the best way to fulfill my life's goals. Currently I've been having issues finding myself. We're going through a hard time at school and I'm not handling the stress very well. The boyfriend is very supportive about it, finding ways to try and alleviate my stress level. My issue when it comes to him, that is fed from some other deeply seeded issue, is jealousy. Pure jealousy. Anywhere from him wanting to hang with his guy friends to wanting to go have a beer with a group of people when I can't go (and it seems he's choosing spending time with them over me) to no making eye contact with me when he is telling a story with other people in the room (which is disrespectful and hurts my feelings). I'm jealous of him having a close female friend. When this jealousy arises, it grows into anger then the shit that comes out of my mouth is immature and can be rude as well. He's starting to feel like I'm disrespectful to him and it's wearing him down. I love him to death and the thing is, he loves me so much,,,, I just know it, I just have a hard time with trust and jealousy. This needs to be dealt with right away or it'll lead to the end of the relationship, This guy is the one. I can't lose him, he's absolutely the perfect man for me in every way. I've never felt like this before. I need solutions ASAP before I push him too far and it's over.
