You may not have a boyfriend, in which case a little sadness about this and envy of the girlfriend is understandable, or you may have, and then it's much worse. If you seem to have a great boyfriend, but he's a little short of the super-mega-macho your girlfriend is dating, and you're worried about it, read this article – we know what to do.
Find out why
It may be hard for you to answer the question of why you think your friend's boyfriend is so much cooler and they have a perfect relationship, but it's still worth trying. Firstly, so you better understand yourself, and admitting the problem and the lack of something in the relationship – already half the battle. Second, you can kick your boyfriend – it seems he doesn't pay enough attention to you.
Focus on your own relationship
Yes, it's a lot easier said than done, because we always feel like the grass is greener next door, but still try. Identify the problems you have in your relationship and start working on them. Maybe you're doing great, too, and your girlfriend envies you, and you're missing out on fantastic moments that you could be enjoying because of imaginary flaws.
Analyze your girlfriend's relationship
What her friend and her boyfriend flaunt – the best part of their relationship, and what's happening behind closed doors, you'll never know. It's like a celebrity relationship: you think it's perfect, but you don't know what's really there. And all the fans get a shock when they find out that their favorite couple has broken up. Think about it.
Analyze your relationship with your girlfriend
You're a real BFF? Or they're just acquaintances who like to spend time together? Or maybe you've always competed with each other for a place under the sun, and it's that competition that holds your friendship together? If so, it's understandable why her relationships seem better to you-you're just afraid you'll be outdone. It's time to think about changing the environment.
Talk to your girlfriend
If you've given it some thought and still come to the conclusion that you're not just socializing and competing, but a very real friendship, the best advice is to talk to your girlfriend and be honest about what's going on with you. Maybe she'll tell you they're not all that rosy and reassure you, or maybe she'll share stories of how she once went through it herself and give valuable advice. Don't keep silent either, keeping silent on such things spoils a friendship.
Think whether you are happy in this relationship
Seriously. Put your jealousy aside for a minute and think, are you happy?? If so, you will still have it. If it's not, then ask yourself why you're in this relationship? Maybe you're just scared of being alone? Or they have long outlived themselves, and you cling to the memories? All of this can be the cause of your jealousy, so don't torture yourself and find the strength to end it all.
