writes:Recently, my long term boyfriend lost a good female friend of his and has since "replaced" her with another girl, whom I know semi-well and also work with. They have been spending a lot of time together and have been going to bars together, are going skydiving together, and are also driving a couple of hours away with some other friends to go to a concert. I trust him and know that he doesn't like her or would leave me for her, although, I can't say she doesn't like him. I just want to know if it's right to me to feel hurt in this situation. I tend to get jealous easily and am trying very hard not to overreact, but I feel like there must be at least some validity to my feelings, right? The things that they have been doing are bigger deals than just watching a movie or hanging out, and I don't like it. Am I overreacting?

I know it's unfashionable and very politically incorrect or whatever but the bottom line is this: men and women exist solely to procreate with one another. This concept of having a non-sexual relationship which involves high levels of emotion with members of the opposite sex is lunacy. When married people do what your boyfriend is doing, it's called an emotional affair.
And that previous post was also correct: why aren't YOU the one going skydiving, concert-listening, and otherwise just doing amazing things with your boyfriend? This woman is taking what is rightfully yours.
