No more heartaches..

How do I handle His jealousy and is there a "cure"?

My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and we are pretty serious. We are going to be married in the future, we just have not decided when. I am 39 and he is 30. The only problem we have so far is his jealousy. He doesn't understand how a man and woman can be just friends. I am not really allowed to have single male friends. He was raised in India and I realize they have a different culture, but it hurts our relationship.

How can I reassure him that I am deeply in love with him and never want anyone else?

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,
The power of water drops is only due to it's consistency: Keep telling him, time and again, exactly what you think and feel.  Somewhere along the road he'll be get the message and gain the confidence he needs.  
Best regards,

hey am a married Indian guy and I can tell how an Indian thinks.  The best way to go about this would be to realize  what an Indian girl could have done if she was in ur place. Indians tend to be a bit conservative and I think he is one of the many.  The best cure I would say is develop trust, and do all he says for some time.. Sooner he will realize that he is being really possessive about u and will surely let u have ur freedom.

Even I am and was quite possessive about my wife . But now I trust her a lot and know that she can never do anything wrong. Believe me if your love is true everything will fall in place.

It will be very difficult to convince him. It is cultural. You should be doubly sure before marrying because that is only one issue that you have uncovered. There are many more because Western society is quite open but in India it is very rigid and especially for women. Also since you are older than he and probably moe anxious to get settled. Please, please think this over very carefully, for your sake and for your future.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply,

speak kindly, leave the rest to God.

Hi,

     I agree with Harryvan, gave him 2 thumbs up.  First of all you are older than him, and then he came from a different culture.  If I was in your shoes,  I will not marry this man.  His being too jealous is going to be the biggest problem.  To have a happy marriage, there should be mutual trust.  You have a right to maintain friendships, either males or females.  He cannot suppress your right to have friends.

     You may love him so much, but you are not going to be totally with him because of his jealousy.

Take care and please don't make a mistake.
