Jealous much? ...

I’m not a jealous person (unless you have a Slanket right now, because my blanket keeps falling off). I find jealously useless, it’s really not a desirable characteristic to me in the least.

I was dating Nick and even though it was still early, we had instantly bonded and seemingly everything was going very well. We decided to go to the club with a few of his friends that night. Before we left the house Nick pulled me into a room away from everyone and said he needed to talk to me.

Nick-“ We haven’t been out to the club together before, so I just wanted to let you know that I know a lot of people, so there will probably be a lot of people coming up to me.”
Me – “ok! Let’s go”
Nick – “No, like I know a lot of girls, so don’t take it the wrong way.”
Me – “I won’t, trust me, I have a lot of male friends, it really doesn’t bother me, I don’t get jealous”

And it’s true, I don’t care if a guy I’m seeing has a lot of female friends, I wouldn’t tell him to get rid of them. If a guy told me who I could and couldn’t be friends with, he should probably watch out for the scalding coffee about to be poured in his lap.
Anyways I digress; we get to the club and as soon as we get out of the car 3 girls ran up to him. I politely introduced myself and we went into the club. I was standing beside him and girl after girl came over to him to talk. But here’s the catch; I realized that not only was Nick now completely ignoring me, but he was actually openly flirting and hitting on these girls as I stood by his side (I know flirting when I see it, it’s my second language and I’m fluent in it). I may not be jealous but I am self respecting. I walked away and took a seat at the bar and started a conversation with the guy beside me who just so happened to be very good looking.
About 10 minutes later Nick finally realized that I had left his side and came looking for me. When he found me talking with the guy at the bar, he was beyond unhappy. He told me to come back over to where his friends were. I didn’t fancy being ignored again and I informed him that I was having a conversation and would be over in a few minutes. It then became evident that it was not my jealously that would be an issue, it was his. He carried on about how I was being disrespectful by talking to this guy while he’s 30ft away (the irony was killing me, and to be clear I wasn’t flirting with the guy at the bar, simply talking.). I was less than impressed with his behaviour that night and we didn’t speak for a week after that (I should have ended it then, but Nick will supply many stories for this blog, so I’m happy I didn’t).

Jealousy isn’t an option for me. If the guy I’m with would rather to go chat up some other girl and he would rather be with her, excellent. I wish them all the best in the future. I probably wouldn’t send him a wedding present though; his bride may get the wrong idea
