Question
I am the most jealous person you will meet.  I get jealous over every single thing.  I hate when my boyfriend sees any nudity in a movie.  The thought of him going to a strip club or bachelor party makes me want to rip my hair out.  I can't stand that he talks to his ex because I am keenly aware that they had sex and I wonder if he is remembering that when they talk.  I don't see why he needs to stay friends with a ex because they are over.  I also worry about what might happen, such as what if a friend gets married and he has to go to a bachelor party?  I don't know why I feel this way because my boyfriend treats me like gold and says I am the hottest girl ever.  I am confident but obviously something is wrong with me. HELP!!
