How to Deal with Jealousy/How to Make One Jealous - Jealousy or Legit Concern?


Expert: Jenny - 6/17/2008

Question
I've been in a relationship of 4 plus years with someone I feel really connected to, however, my concern comes with how she sometimes acts towards others. She grew up a bit of a tom boy so she feels comfortable around guys, however there's one that she talks to quite frequently where she shares some of our intimate stuff with and at closing in phone conversations or sometimes in messages they'll say "I love you". She states it's just love as a friend. I was previously in a relationship 6 plus yrs ago, where I was cheated on and I wanted to ask if I should be concerned or if I'm looking too much into it. Hopefully I provided enough information, I guess the question I have is, how do you take your bf/gf telling others "I love you"?

Answer
Love is a very expanded word in the english vocabulary.
It can definitely mean a whole lot of different kinds of love.

"I love my mother", "I love my dog", "I love that color!"

if very different from:

"I love my girlfriend"

I think you're looking too much into it. Let it be. Just because you got cheated on doesn't mean that everyone's the same. I do believe in love between friends, no matter if is a boy and a girl.

As to your question, you should be grateful that she tells you that she loves him as a friend. Others would just hide it. Believe me, this advice is coming from a woman that has 2 best guy friends and Im married. So don't worry.
