jealousy
I've been with my boyfriend for a few months now, we're great together and he makes me really happy.
I've watched porn since I was a teen, so I don't think it would be fair of me to ask him to stop watching it, nor would I ever actually ask him to. I don't mind in theory, it's just porn. But for the past few weeks I've been really struggling with the idea of him watching pornography.
Every time he mentiones this one singer he finds really hot I get so sad/angry and it just brings my whole mood down the very second he mentions someone else. He doesn't do it in a bad way, he never compares me to someone or anything, it's more of an observation and I am aware that he can be and is attracted to other people. I get that, I trust him a lot and I know he'd never do it to hurt me.
It's just that the idea of him liking someone else makes me feel like sh*t. It really bothers me. I've never been a jealous person and this has never bothered me before. But I just can't help but feel so sad about it sometimes. I know I shouldn't compare myself to those super hot women yet I do. I haven't talked to him about it because he only mentioned it a couple of times during our whole relationship and he's really sweet and never makes me feel like I'm not enough. I don't really understand why this is happening, it's never happened with my 2 exes and I feel like I can't control it. I feel really lost and I hate that this is happening. I just get a knot in my stomach and I don't know how to stop feeling like that anytime he mentiones another girl. What do you guys think?
