Long distance relationship jealousy

[Ahmed & Sue 0]

I completely trust my man or I would not be in this relationship. However, I will say, he has been online talking with my lady friend instead of me, and although I know there is nothing there, I was extremely jealous that she got to talk to him and I did not. Go figure. I think it is a time thing. I never get enough of it with him.

there is a slight jealousy on occasion. today i am going out with a male friend of mine and abdou didn't seem too thrilled with that idea. i had to spend a few minutes reassuring him that he was a long time friend, and friend only. i'm sure he would rather see me not go with my male friends ever without him though!

I know this problem. My best friend is a guy. Has been for 9 years. He takes my kids on road trips(he drives a truck), when he's home we go out to eat or go to Goony golf with the kids. Mohammed has a hard time with this. I have always hated to see when a woman or man for that matter gave up friends because they were in a relationship...these people were friends before you got with your so. I try to compromise and not have Jerry in the home when I am the only one there. I have never been in a relationship where the man was "jealous" for lack of a better word and I agree that at least in Morocco it seems to be one way they show affection. At times it does irritate me and I tell him honestly. He also explains his feelings to me as he waited 34 years to find the one God made for him and it is his job to protect his family. You dont see men/women friends in morocco really unless they are family so this is a VERY hard concept for him to grasp. But I think its a fair trade for the love I get from him which is unlike any I have ever known. Case in point before I went to Morocco my mom was telling me how subserviant they like their women to be..make them walk behind dont speak blah blah blah. When we got there I didnt really think about it until one day we were out walking and everytime I tried to get beside him he would walk ahead still holding my hand but keeping me 1 or 2 steps behind. Now my american mind kicked in lol. Well I asked him am I not good enough to walk beside you? He looked at me like I was crazy. He said to me...My dad taught me that when you treasure and cherish someone you walk with them holding their hand but a bit ahead so that if there is trouble in one second you can have her behind you to block her from whatever the trouble is....yep I melted.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this type of jealousy from their significant other, created perhaps out of the frustration from being separated during the visa process? Not talking crazy stalker jealousy, just little things.

I have to say i've had two types of experiences with the jealousy thing... before our engagement he used to tell me as long as you are with George and Feras (his cousins) I don't worry about you - but anyone else is a problem. I don't know them. (Meaning guys) Which was ok with me cuz i had no interest in anyone else or hanging out with anyone other than George(he is like my big brother) since Micho wasn't around...

Now after we got engaged and I got back to the US its been a different story - I know it shouldnt be like this but I am the jealous one.. my uncle is there right now - and they keep going to parties (hafli's) together and whenever i call he's always preoccupied talkin to the other people around him.... i m getting irritated!! I am so jealous- mainly bc i am missing him so much and our time together was so limited. I cannot wait for him to be here.

Now while i was there as far as jealousy from other people is concerned.....I understand the language and so when girls would make a comment about us - he'd just lite their fire by holding me closer or kissing me... When people saw us together in the marketplace we got dirty looks but it was more like...look at them holding hands.... look at the skirt she's wearing... OMG she's smoking a cigarette....OMG look how close she is to him.... it was more the Islamic culture picking out the frisky American!! haha

i have always been jealous person throw in insecurities due to failed relationships in the past and it can be a little rocky sometimes between us. he is pretty jealous person too. distance makes the mind wonder sometimes, atleast mine lol. he is very attractive person, was working as model in cairo- and women pretty much throw themselves at him, but i keep in mind that i have him, mind body and soul and nothing else should matter.

he has female friends i have male friends he knows about. but he doesnt mind if i hangout with my gay friends lol. knows nothing will happen there. it is funny to me sometimes. just focus on our goal, him coming here soon.
