Is your mate jealous of your friends?

I told my boyfriend that my Best friend (his cousin) came by to give me a Belated Birthday gift and his response was, she came by to give YOU a gift? I said yes (We Live apart so that matters) and I told him how it sounded like why come give you a gift type of thing. Then he said, “she didn’t give me a Belated Birthday gift.” With a laugh at the end. Never said, oh I didn’t mean it that way or anything. His Birthday was almost a year ago 🙄 They don’t normally exchange gifts and we talk way more than they do. They are not super close. He claimed he said that because my Birthday was 2 weeks ago and he thought she would have given it to me by now. I also thought maybe he said that thinking as if why she didn’t bring a gift for our daughter, whose Birthday is coming up in a few days also but nope. He didn’t mention that. Maybe it’s just me but it kind of came off wrong and jealous played off as a joke.

No. My SO doesn’t have too many friends and only occasionally sees the ones he does have. He isn’t jealous of my friends. Does he also get jealous of your family coming to see you?

Nope. He is for me having healthy friendships. He will try to let me know if it seems someone is not good for me. I’m sometimes too nice. He does not have friends himself. Does your man also take issue with your family?

Only some that have been unhealthy, which I agree with. That’s good he is for healthy friendships. Maybe he wishes he had a stronger relationship with his cousin.

@Monique Jose Duvall Are responding to @Lacey? 😊 no worries but I hear what you’re saying. To add to that though, he has plenty opportunities to reach out to her as his cousin. They see each other more because of our relationship which can be a gift and curse. He doesn’t seem jealous of my family 🤔

@Lacey Good! That’s how it should be! My boyfriend has spoken up about things he dislikes in my friend circle before but still has moments of jealousy, especially earlier on in relationship and some after. If we went somewhere, he would be jealous because he couldn’t go or couldn’t go to that place etc. I have talked to him about this a couple times. I notice it with others too at times but not directly to them. His sister left town and he was like, I should ask her if I could babysit her place and Tesla car. She has nice things. He has come from poverty and working but struggling to advance in life. That may play apart. Not to offend anyone. Random things that’s questionable. He often seems to compare or imitate things.
