My girlfriend of 8 months is nosey. For our relationship to move forward, I need for her first instinct to be that of trust, not suspicion.
She has her infidelity baggage (her father had an affair, she dated someone who was married, she鈥檚 had boyfriends cheat and seen lots of people leave for another man/woman鈥?.
While I have seen improvement, in the behaviour it is still there. I know in order for us to progress in the relationship (such as move in together one day) that inherent suspicion must be gone. I鈥檓 just wondering how I can move that forward. Any ideas?How do you deal with a nosey girlfriend?
Have you tried telling her all this? And in what ways is she being nosy? Does she snoop through your stuff, read your text messages, ask you where you are or where you have been 24/7? Because sometimes what may come off to you as nosy comes off to someone as ';just checking';. And you also have to ask yourself whether you are open enough with your girlfriend. For instance, do you let her know when you go out of town or are planning a big event? You need to make sure you aren't doing anything to elicit such ';nosiness';.
After evaluating whether you are being open enough, you need to reassure her that you aren't doing anything to arouse any suspicions, and tell her that although you understand that she has trust issues, she needs to give your relationship a chance before jumping to conclusions or being possessive and controlling. Try not to come off as irritated by her nosiness; instead, tell her that you trust her enough to give her space about certain things, and you need to know that she trusts you enough to do the same.
It all boils down to communication.How do you deal with a nosey girlfriend?
tell her ';either you trust me and want to be with me or you don't';
