I shit you not, the past 4 friends I’ve met, who have close girlfriends, all think their girl is secretly getting nailed behind their backs… Do all guys worry like this? I just don’t get it. If you’re spending night and day every day of the year together what makes you think she’s secretly screwing the yardman, or mailman, or whatever? Get a grip. I’m assuming it’s just low confidence in sexual performance. To those who with low confidence, just be sure she doesn’t get a hold of a sybian, or you’ll really be in trouble. 😛 ---

The common denominator is you, so maybe they just all think you’re hot shit and can’t figure out how their girfriends _wouldn’t_ be sleeping with you. 😛 ---

I used to be married to a man who constantly worried about this. If I were ten minutes late coming from the grocery store, he was sure I’d had a quickie. He did not like me to be alone in the same room with other men. One time he went with me on a job interview and, as the time ran a bit over, went up to the receptionist and demanded to know who I was fscking back there. :rolleyes: He’s probably a special case though. Very special. ---

I can’t figure out why anyone would stay with someone they suspected of cheating. Either you’re with the wrong person or you have issues yourself. Then again I guess some people thrive on drama. ---

My girlfriend gets more jealous and suspicious than I do. So to answer the OP, no. ---

Did yours make you throw out all of your short-shorts, bathing suits, and any red-colored clothing ? 'Cause, you know, only whores wear red. > [@Shodan](#): > > I don’t suppose it would have been reassuring had you told him that ten minutes was not nearly enough time with most men besides him. Haha! No, I didn’t have that much wit back then. FWIW, **EpicNonsense** , I’ve never dated or had a relationship with any other guy who had that problem. Seems relatively rare to me. ---

I have absolute trust that my wife is not fooling around behind my back. I also hope and believe that she trusts me the same way – she’s never given me cause to think that she doubts me. Ed ---

I had suspicions about a girl once. They were correct, as it turned out. But I did something bad in order to find out so I can’t claim any kind of moral high ground. ---

Back in college, I was close with both sides in a long term couple. He would always tell me about his suspicions when we were alone, and when I was with his girlfriend somewhere, she would always complain that he didn’t trust her. More than once her and I gave each other The Look, but never did anything past that. Shame too, she was smokin’ and he was a jerk. ---
