Watched the game last night, got a text from my boss "what is going on" which pi$$d me off b/c my b/f doesn't like him and I knew it would start something. I replied back, 'watching game' and of course, my b/f got mad. To make this short, this morning at work, my boss made fun of me b/c he meant about the game (I'm an OSU fan), like they're playing horrible, what's going on....not like, what are you doing.....I stayed at my house last night, my b/f stayed at his. Fighting lead to this, obviously, but what makes me so mad is that he told me that it should be okay if his ex texts/emails him if my boss can.....WHAT? How can he compare someone he was with for 6 years to my boss?!?!?! He loved her, slept with her for 6 years and he's comparing this with my boss texting me?!?! We fight over stupid things......we both know we're loyal and in love....do you think we just need space from each other? I love him so much and will do anything, even if it's giving him space.

Oh my god...I think we've been sharing the same brain because I have had the exact same problem in the past with my BF!!! He would get mad when male friends or my male co-workers who I've NEVER been with or never wanted to texted me...yet his ex GF was texting that she still loves him and all this junk all summer long. His justification was that, "Well, guys text you too"!!!!!
I totally agree with you....your boss is in a complete and TOTAL different category than his ex GF!
Sorry I wasn't much help....my BF and I have had blowouts about this very thing and I had to write & relate!!!

I think this is is a complex issue. First of all, you should let your boss know that only work-related texts should be sent to you. That is the first step. Your boss shouldnt be texting you anyway I find it a bit suspectful. Number two, he is only referring to his ex girlfriend to get a rise out of you....So don't react the way he wants. He has a right to feel concerned about your boss, but you need to clarify to him that your boss will not be sending you anymore texts and that you will not accept him receiving any from his ex girlfriend. I don't think you need a break, I think you two need to communicate like adults. Fighting can be a source of communication that is needed, however if you catch your selves doing it too often, then there's a problem

Jealousy is a terrible thing. He is jealous because your boss (who you see for a good 8 hours a day) is impeding on your time with him. I would be a bit miffed too but if you ensure him there is absolutely nothing between you it should be ok. Just for the record though, why would your boss want to text you all the time if he knows it causes rows between you and your bf? He is obviously trying to stir it up. I would ask him to stop and that you will speak to him at work but your private time is your own.

Well it sounds like there is some jealousy and insecurity in this relationship. If you are both so confident about the relationship then why is there all this fighting about simple text messaging? Maybe you two should rethink the relationship and find out what is going on. There may be some trust issues that need to brought out and talked about. If your relationship is so good, you should be able to talk to each other and work this out. If you can't work this out, maybe it wasn't meant to be.

Looks like ur bf is feeling insecure. My brother in law is same way. My sister chick has all of her office sausage friends, who text her and calls her on her days off asking same questions like ur boss. I think that chicks should keep their work buddies in work and should not bring them in their personal lifes. I wouldn't be surprised if ur bf will break up with u over this.
