Why does my girlfriend enjoy making me jealous?

A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi, my girlfriend likes making me jealous. She talks about different guys a lot, even her ex-boyfriends and people she used to like. It's getting really annoying, because sometimes she acts as if she still likes them, to see what i would say.

I am getting to the point where I now want to now make her jealous. I never used to get jealous before, but I guess the longer we've been together, the more I started to care for her, so now I've started reacting to her childish jealousy games.

It's like she wants to get me upset, and ten minutes later she comes back to me saying she was only joking. I'm almost starting to believe some of the "jokes" that she says about boys she used to like, because she still chats to them. What should I do? I know she loves me.. and I love her too.

well most girls do it for reasurence, make sure that their boy friends still love them, but it dose hurt and anoys. one mistery in a girl i think.but i also gues that there is no other way to make sure and they take that as an easy way out. but tell her that you love her but dont think that that is the correct way for her to try and figure out if its true.

This sounds to me like an insecurity issue. She need reassurance and way to much of it apparently from you that you care. Tell her it doesn't help the relationship but hurts it and you want it to stop or the relationship will suffer.

GrimmReality agony auntYoung man,

This seems to be a simple case of a maturity issue on her part. I suspect that she is playing these games because she really doesn't know any better. I would suggest that instead of attempting to make her jealous, to calmly explain to her that this behaviour and subsequent diatribes about other guys makes you feel very uncomfortable. And that you'd appreciate it if she refrain from doing it around you.

If she does not, then I suggest you look for another Girlfriend. You simply are so young that there are others out there that wont play these games.
