6 Tips To Handle A Jealous Boyfriend

Dealing with a jealous boyfriend is somewhat tricky. It’s a lot easier just to walk away from the relationship in the first place instead of constantly having to remind him how much you love him. As cute as a jealous boyfriend sounds, it’s really quite the opposite.

Having a jealous boyfriend isn’t as cute as the movies portray. When your partner is jealous all the time, he can also be controlling, insecure, and doubtful of your every move.Having a jealous boyfriend isn’t something you should romanticize. When he’s jealous, this also means he doesn’t trust you. He always thinks that you don’t love him anymore or that you’re going to cheat on him, even if there’s no logic or evidence to prove otherwise.

He could also potentially control you and basically, no matter how many times you do your best to reassure him, he’ll never believe it. There’s always a seed of doubt in his mind which enables his behavior of jealously and possessiveness.

# Don’t make these moves obvious

Being a jealous boyfriend is not something to be proud of; your boyfriend knows that. But sometimes, it’s inevitable. So when you’re trying these moves, don’t let him know about it. One of the factors of jealousy is insecurity, and you don’t want to insult your boyfriend by letting him know you’re trying to make him less insecure.

Instead, you want to be subtle and undercover in doing these. You don’t want to give him another reason not to trust you, do you?

# Reassure him instead of getting angry

You’ve probably reassured your boyfriend a million times, and it hasn’t helped! It seems like you’re saying the same set of words over and over again. However, rather than getting insulted by his jealousy, reassure him that your relationship is fine and that you love him. Sometimes, all a jealous boyfriend needs is an abundance of reassurance from you.

Jealousy is a plea for help and not a way to show off his domination over you. So if you ever find him sulking or sitting in a corner and huffing and puffing, don’t get upset or angry with him.

Make him feel the love he’s craving from you, and don’t give him anything less.

# Tease him when you’re with your girlfriends

Help your antisocial jealous boyfriend understand that a bit of fun flirting and teasing is all acceptable and harmless between friends and the opposite sex. Get your girlfriends to compliment him and tease him a bit and flirt with him. This will help him get out of his shell and socialize with you and your friends.

Hopefully, this doesn’t result in him getting angry with you but instead, realize there’s no harm with teasing and flirting sometimes.

# Indulge in a bit of PDA with him

Indulging in a public display of affection with your jealous boyfriend may make him uncomfortable, but he would still love it. By getting cuddly in public, either by holding his hands or kissing his cheek, you’re willing to let the world know that both of you are a couple.

This is precisely the kind of reassurance he needs, to believe that you love him to the point that you’re willing to show him off to everyone else.

# Call him often when you’re out with friends

Jealous boyfriends suck! It’s a fact. But at times, by reassuring a jealous boyfriend that he has no reason to worry, you may be able to chisel out the perfect boyfriend in him. If there’s any common ground with all these tips, then it’s giving your jealous boyfriend the reassure he needs to trust and rely on you.

Your boyfriend may feel rather insecure and jealous when you go out with your friends and have a nice time. The only thing that goes on in his head would be, “does she have more fun with her friends than she does with me?” Again, all of this is because he’s very insecure and doubtful about himself.

So calling him over the phone, as simple as it might seem to you, is actually a huge deal for him. Call him every now and then and have a quiet conversation without getting disturbed by your friends’ giggles *which can annoy him further*. It’ll make him realize how much you love him.

# Have him in your arms

Jealous boyfriends are easily unsettled with the simplest scenarios. And it all starts and ends with you talking to other guys. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking with other guys without the intention of flirting; they already see this as a threat.

If you’re someone who has a lot of guy friends, this is basically the worst nightmare of a jealous boyfriend. It’s really annoying, but if you do want to help him lose the jealous streak, have him in your arms at all times when you’re hanging out with a group of friends.
