[Jacky234]

i've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now...i know he would never cheat on me..hes not that kinda type....my problme is that he has alot of female friends..and they are all gorgeous....i feelll sooo soo ugly beside them..i dont know any of them well...i just seen them on pics or maybe once in person. my bf tells me he thinks i am the most beautiful girl in the world, but i jsut feel soo unattractive compared to his female friends...while i was on vacation in the summer...he went out wiht them alot..and there are lots of pics....is it okay for them to touch and grab his stomach on pics...or for him to carry them around...i feel soo jealous and its eats me up inside.... i dont konw how to deal wiht this...any advice...he said when the pics wqere takne we wernet 100% officially dating...but it still bothers me to see what kinda relationship he has wiht his female friends....i dont think it has changed now either...

that's just it... they're his friends.
it's perfectly healthy and normal for a person to have friends of hte opposite sex.

just cause they touch his stomach or play around with him or whatever, doesn't mean he's cheating on you or will cheat on you or whatever.

i have had many a male friend in my life and some of them have been my best friends, and i treat them A LOT differently than i do my female friends, just because there are certain things i can do with a male that i can't do with a female.
i'm not just gonna walk up to a female friend and jump on their back or whatever, but i'll do it to a male friend. it's not flirting or anything, it's just a childish comfort level.

your problem is you need to be able to be comfortable with yourself. if he thinks your beautiful you need to accept that and stop comparing yourself to his friends. he probably doesn't see his friends like he sees you (hence why he's going out with you and not them).

and personally, if you cannot accept that your boyfriend or husband or whatever is going to have friends of the opposite sex, perhaps you shouldn't date to begin with. it sounds harsh and rude but i think it's true. he's gonna have friends, male and female, and you need to be able to accept more than just his male friends. the last thing you ever want to do to a person is separate them from their friends and not allow them to see them. if i ever had a guy that wouldn't accept my other guy friends, then i'd personally look at him and go "bye".
