Feeling rejected?

The Green Eyed Monster

I've been together with my boyfriend for a year now and everything's going well, except I've just started university this September and instantly clicked with a guy on my course. I've always been able to get on better with males but my boyfriend seems to have a problem with it. I've been completely honest because I've got absolutely nothing to hide, but he just can't handle my new best bud at uni! How can I reassure him nothing's going on?

Thanks, Jemma, Leeds University.

Hi Jemma,

Does your boyfriend not go to university with you? If he doesn't, then why not introduce your new friend to your boyfriend so he doesn't see him so much as a threat. Maybe the three of you can hang out occasionally if they hit it off? Obviously for your boyfriend, it's going to be hard to see you starting somewhere new. It'll be scary for him and knowing you've got a new man on the scene is going to hit him twice as hard. You've just got to make it clear to him that this guy is nothing but a friend and your boyfriend will eventually come round, especially if he befriends him too!

Greetings Jemma,

Ah so you're one of those annoying girls who just "get on better" with guys making the rest of us feel inadequate? Make several pointed remarks about how disgusting he is and how he drools in bed...oh wait, perhaps don't mention that. If all else fails, propose the idea of a threesome, that's a situation in which "getting on better" with guys is a very handy skill.

Vanessa, X
