The Answer:

Dear helpneeded12345,

It's important that you communicate with your girlfriend about how you feel. Some people think that jealousy is a sign of affection and love. But you should think again if your partner doesn't trust you to do things by yourself or to spend time with your friends.

When someone starts tracking your every move and is in your face all the time about where you've been and whom you've been with, then it's time to rethink whether this is a healthy relationship.

Healthy, loving relationships help people feel safe and better about ourselves and our place in the world. Relationships that frustrate us or make us feel bad about ourselves are not as healthy as they can be.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
