Coping with jealousy

Default profile image
I have been with my girlfriend for over a year and a half, however it is long distance, and although everything was great, we have had problems surrounding my past. You see I was her first serious boyfriend, but I have had two relationships before and though I haven't had one night stands and the like, I have done a share of 'pulling' at parties, though compared to most boys of my age, not much at all. She finds it difficult to ignore this, and I'm in a difficult situation. I try saying that I have no desire for anyone else, but it doesn't work. I don't blame her, because my first girlfriend had experiences before me, and I at times felt awful about it. Does anyone have any tips about dealing with this problem? I don't know what to say, because nothing can change the past. Things are not always bad, but this jealousy pops up every now and then, but its always a cloud that doesn't go away.

Hi, The only solution to this problem is to make ur friend believe on you. Just told her whether she believe on you or not bec every good or close relation is based on believe. Reply.

okay. it sounds like youve taken the 'reassuring' route - have you? if you havnt DO THAT. tell her shes the only girl for you, etc... if youve DONE all that, i think its time to start being more assertive and tell her that she needs to deal with it. everyone i know has a past and yours sounds pretty tame, and she needs to learn to grow up and live with yours. sorry to be so blunt, but if you continue to pander to her insecurities, she might end up making you take responsibility for them and that could get really messy. explain to her that youve reassured her and that youve had enough now and want her to move on. is sounds like a lack of trust on her part. has she had someone hurt her before? you could ask her. good luck.
