Rose81 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I have been with my fiance for 3 years. We lived together for 2 of these years (after being together for 6 months) and now we live separately. He is a really great guy but is 3 and a half years younger than me and drinks too much (but gave it up for lent....good sign). I'll try not tell tell my whole life story but basically he and I are very different. He is outgoing whereas I am shy almost to the point of having a real problem. I hate meeting new people and he can start a conversation with a stranger in line at the grocery store. I guess it is a case of opposites attract but I have a hard time with his busy social life and how easy it is for him to make friends. Of course this brings me to another point - I am very jealous and can't stand to see him chatting it up with women. Now that I sound like a total loser.....I give him the silent treatment for a day or two once a month and then maybe every 6th month's I finally think I'm ready to break up, until I realize he is the best friend I've ever had and "why can't I just be happy" and it's not his fault yadda yadda yadda. Does anyone have any advice for me? My family thinks I should end it because he is irresponsible and they think he will depend on me too much financially.... another tid bit of information.
trying123 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 the jealousy is a major problem , as long as he introduces you when he talks to women, you should not worry about him however, the money situation is a HUGE problem, I know tons of couples that have broken up because of that you need to ask why you are jealous, I am a little over protective guy and I know my partner does not help anything at all, try talking to him about it and not pout it does not help
