Why does my husband always think I'm jealous?

He thinks that when he talks to his sister in a different language for hours and doesn't include me in the conversation I'm jealous. He thinks that when he talks about other woman and how good they look now since the last time he saw them..that I'm jealous. Maybe left out...or maybe not interrested in hearing about how good other woman look (especially one that he has told me doesn't like me). I am bothered, but jealous? Is he trying to make me crazy? Am I jealous? What should I do?

    You should be able to speak openly and honestly with your husband.

    Have you tried that? Have you told him "flat out" exactly how you feel? Tell him no, you are not jealous but do feel left out sometimes.

    It seems more to me that you are not receiving the same attention he is giving to his sister and the other women he likes to talk about. Does he talk WITH YOU for hours at a time? Does he compliment how good YOU LOOK?

    Doesn't appear to be jealousy- I find nothing in your statements indicidating envy to be any of the women mentioned. That is not the same as desiring the exact, if not better, type of communication from your husband.

    If you are truthful with him and he in turn does not back down then it would seem that the problem is him, not you. Perhaps it is his own desire for you to talk with him hours on end. Perhaps he would like to hear from you how good he looks. Men are men (are men) but they really do need to hear praise and admiration, just like we women do.

    It's honestly a two way street. Communication is the answer. I think you just have to take the initiative and discuss this with him in an honest, yet gentle, manner. If you try to talk with him and start off barking at him or giving attitude, he's just going to shut down. Speak with him the same way you want him to speak with you.

    Try not to do it in the confines of your daily surroundings. Go somewhere quiet and relaxing (lake, park, picnic, etc.) where it's just the two of you. Focus on each other. Communicate and go from there.

    Good luck to you! :)

    For what it's worth I think all husbands like to try driving their wives crazy once in a while. ;)

    I think your husband is testing you, trying to get your reactions... maybe its because you're trying to put that..i don't care/ i dont give a damn attitude. And he needs to see if your really jealous or not... I give back the question to you.... are you jealous? if so, tell him and to stop talkin about these things. Sometimes its good to show some feelings...some husbands like this.

    Ever heard the term dont point because you have 4 fingers pointing back at you . I would look into it Ill bet he is jealous of you. He also has some serious self image problems

  • i think you should just mention to him that it bothers you.

    there are many different ways to approach this situation in his thinking. maybe he wants you to be jealous cause he thinks you dont care. perhaps though he is just trying to make sure your feelings arent hurt. im not sure what else i could say since im not sure which of the reasons why he is saying what he is

    Seriosuly, it sounds like he wants you to be jealous and just gush over him. Men get the wierdest ideas sometimes.

    Usually, in this case, your husband has caught the overprotective disease. Talk it out. Ask him why he's suddenly so suspicious, make it firm thoguh, he might be guilty of something....
