    Hi There,

    I just need your feedback on my relationship. The one that I am in now, is the healthiest relationship that I have been in. This relationship makes me want to improve myself and try to become a better person.
    My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost a year now, we see each other only on weekends because we live about 2 hours away. We get a long so well and I think that we are doing ok.. but then my ego and paranoia comes in from time to time when everything is going well. I get jealous a lot that’s the issue that I have been going through right now, I got jealous when I found out that he has been going out to lunch with his female workers (one on one). He doesn’t tell me about this because he thinks that it is not important, because it doesn’t mean anything and it’s just work. I had a weird dream that he went out on a date with his female coworker and I told him if he was doing that and he said Yes. I can’t help to feel uncomfortable about this, because with my experience there are always intention there. I have been hard on myself because of this. I trust my boyfriend, I am just thinking why he puts himself in situations like this. If my boyfriend feels uncomfortable about something I would adjust to it. I am just disappointed because he cannot see my point of view.

    Do you think I am over reacting? Do I just need to let this feeling go and just trust?

    Have you met the co-worker? Would you be jealous of any co-worker? Do you have prophetic dreams? Let your intuition be your guide.

    I don’t think you’re overreacting, though some may disagree.

    When my DH was hiring secretaries I said, “She better be a grandma.” His secretary is over 60 years old! LOL! *Could* something happen? Of course! She’s a very good looking 60! So you see, there are no guarantees. LOL

    If you trust him, and if you don’t get any weird vibe from her, it should be OK.

    Hi Chantal,

    If he went on a date with another girl, that means it is not a monogamous relationship for him. Since he is open with you about it maybe you should ask yourself if you are in the same page with him. If you are monogamous to him and you expect the same from him you should talk about this with him and try to find a solution to avoid misunderstanding and your heart broken.
    You can casually ask him if he is ok if you are the one who went out with another man. If he says he is ok with that, then it sounds like he is not making any serious commitment with you, at least you have an honest answer on how he perceive the relationship with you. If he says he does not want you to go out with another man then you can ask why he is being unfair by doing a thing to you that he wouldn’t want you to do to him.
    Don’t compromise with something that hurts you. not worth it. Unless you can adjust with his lifestyle and still be happy.
    And no, you are not over reacting, you just need to know how he feels about the relationship and decide whether you can live with it.

    Hello Inky,

    I haven’t met his coworker, he just started a new job. Since, we live far, I don’t get any opportunities to see him during the week.

    He said that this coworker has kids and married.

    Hello Chantal,

    He said that he doesn’t consider it as a date. He just thinks its a lunch with a co-worker nothing more. He feels that he doesn’t need to tell me because it doesn’t mean anything to him.

    I asked him if I were to go out with a male co-worker if that will be ok. He said yes, because he trusts me. So I feel that the issue is really on my part because I get insecure and jealous.
