To simply state "I need 100% trust" without looking to our own behavior for signs as to why someone may not trust us can lead to very poor relationship experiences.

 

I handle myself like a trust worthy woman. My partner is not jealous and I am not jealous toward him because we don't give each other reasons to be jealous.

 

I would not call going to a political event a reason for my partner to be jealous. If he were It would be a red flag to me.

 

I also am mature enough to understand my partner is not my ex. One of my ex cheated on me multiple times, I don't hold it above my BF's head. I would never tell my BF he cannot attend a meeting because my ex cheated and I feel insecure, why? because when I left my cheating relationship I attended to my wounds and I completely recovered before entering another relationship. Maybe OP's bf should spend more time alone before dating again.

Trust is a two way street and sometimes, when someone doesn't trust us, it's because of something we may have inadvertently done.

 

OP said some dude is hitting on her at those meetings. I asked her if she reports these stories to her bf. I did not get an answer yet. If she does than she is the source of her problem.

Insecure people that are jealous are a well with no bottom. Not the same as being insecure about our looks or about our professional achievement. It's a different beast. His insecurities are caused by distrust & by lack of control. You cannot reassure a jealous man, Jealousy masks other deficiencies and OP will discover them soon.

 

I def agree, but since I've dated someone upper controlling I can gauge how much is too much. The guy I dated (only a short while, he ended up driving me up the wall), was a bottomless well. I would spend a whole day w/him, 5 or more days a week and I would talk to him on the phone, he still didn't trust me.

My bf is always concerned a little jealous. Btw when I go he is working' date=' I never go if I can spend the time w/him. Both of us have had bad relationships. Is he being unreasonable? I have never cheated and neither has he.[/quote']

 

To me, there is nothing here for him to be jealous of. Is there more to this story than you've shared? This is a whole lot of nothing to work up being unreasonable over.
