Hi all, I'll be brief, but appreciate any comments.
I am 30, and she is 24. This may be meaningless, in our relationship it is, we never talk about it and treat each other as if there is no age gap.
When we are together we are really happy. In Love, and tell each other so. She also recently said she could not imagine her life without me in it.

We see each other a couple times a week and it is a healthy relationship where we see our own friends as well etc etc.

Last weekend she went to her university reunion, and commented just before she left that unfortunately none of the girls from her year could make it, and therefore it was just going to be her and the 15 guys (who were all her friends at uni) hanging out for the 3 days.

Is it me getting jealous, and insecure, or is this slightly strange! I can't imagine all boyfriends would be cool with this situation of her going to stay with all guy friends for 3 days.

Anyway I played it cool, and when she got back she said she was busy with other commitments for this week except Tuesday. 'could we hang out then?' Again that is cool, as she has other stuff to do, and people to see.

However, I don't feel like she is making time for us. Or should I just chill and take this as one of those periods in a relationship when both parties are happy in love but just busy with their own lives for a bit, and the reunion was also a one off thing.

Half of me wants to talk to her about it, but I don't want to make an issue, as I will look like the jealous BF... which in previous relationships I have never been. But I am now becoming the over analysying boyfriend!!

Is it all cool?

Please help

Convince your other half to think the same way, and sit down and talk to her about it. Communication my friend... it goes a long way. Express your feelings, otherwise they will just bottle up and eventually get exploded onto her.

Its not the fact of wanting to talk, but the reason, and the how you go about it. For now, find something else to do and don't let insecurity, or jealousy dictate your words or actions.

I have found that when you talk in a way that is non-judgmental, non-threatening, not needy, or insecure, you get more positive and honest feedback from a partner. Sometimes its not knowing when to talk, but when to shut up.

Thanks guys, I guess best idea is to chill about it and see what happens over next couple weeks.

I think it is the whole guy thing that got to me, but don't want to lose her over an issue I have.

If things don't go back to where they were, then enough time will have past for me to talk to her logically, calmly, and retionally, rather than in the heat of the moment!
