Hi there,
I have posted before about some issues in my relationship but deleted the threads...this is a different issue. I have always had this problem that I am quite jealous of my previous boyfriends interactions with other women, especially if they are flirty (either the boyfriend or the women).
My current partner (we have been together almost 3 years and own a house together) is a university professor and sometimes teaches large classes of 1st or 2nd year students, so around 19/20 years old. When I met him he was really interested in younger women because at the time he thought older women (women his/my age) were "bitter", also he thought younger women were more attractive.
So...my problem is that occasionally these younger students will flirt with him. I don't know how much he flirts back, but just the fact of them flirting with him and him being flattered makes me crazy jealous. It is a major problem because he has not got a lot of female attention in his life, and now at age 40+ girls seem to notice him more and he is super flattered and tells me each time.
Any ideas on how to deal with this? I don't want to be bitter/jealous and I want to be happy for him that he feels attractive just as he is when men find me attractive.
Thanks...
