Girlfriend calls out boyfriend for crying and shivering while recounting female coworker's work struggles, says it's 'absurd': 'Anyone with even a shred of self awareness knows that it's a notoriously sexist culture'

It's natural to get a little bit jealous sometimes, but should we keep that to ourselves?

When you're in a relationship, it's common to have feelings of envy arise. After all, if you love someone, you're going to be a little protective of them. But there's a difference between natural jealousy and trust issues. If you're a person who has a hard time believing the things that people tell you, then you might need to work on yourself. But it can be hard to know the difference between a real threat and a perceived one when you're going to react the same either way.

It's also natural to be a little suspicious about the company your partner keeps. Ultimately, you should let them live their lives, but it's okay to keep your eye on a particular friendship if it's setting off a bunch of red flags. That's what happened in this story, but commenters were unsure whether her fears were based in reality or not. After her boyfriend came home crying about a coworker, she wasn't sure if she was overreacting by being offended.
