“It’s only human to feel jealous once in awhile, and especially if you’re in a serious, committed relationship,” says Dawn Michael, Ph.D. and author of My Husband Won’t Have Sex with Me. “It’s when you feel this way constantly about a particular someone or situation that indicates a more serious, underlying issue.”
So how do you know if you’re flying off the handle for no good reason—or if your jealousy is a natural and deserved reaction to something totally not cool? Here are seven situations when you have every right to be PO-ed.
1. He Values His Mom’s Opinions Over Yours
If we learned anything from Charlotte York’s tumultuous relationship with her fiancé’s mother “Bunny” on Sex and the City, it’s that a grown man should be able to think and act for himself. While it’s undeniably adorable when a dude has a close connection with his mom, it’s a bad sign if he’s turning to her for everything while turning his back to you. “The bond between the two of you is also important to the bond he has with his family and friends, so they should all be of high importance to him,” says Michael.
Instead of getting between the two (‘cause we all know how that worked out for Char), strike up a conversation with him about how it makes you feel when you’re out of the circle of trust. “Remind him that you, too, can provide him with thoughtful, constructive advice, and would like him to give you the opportunity to be there for him in that way,” says Michael.
