Description: A jealous girlfriend expresses her views on her relationship with her boyfriend.

You know, my boyfriend tells me I'm an (does air quotes with fingers) "overprotective and jealous" girlfriend, but he just doesn't understand. It's a girlfriend's job to watch out for girls who want to steal him away. The other day I saw him hugging another girl. When I confronted him, he said it was his mom. Excuses, excuses. I didn't talk to him for a week after that incident. I just trying to protect him, you know. He interacts with so many girls, you never know who may be eyeing him. I even quit my job just so I could keep my eye on him. He often pleads with me to trust him and whatever, but that always leads to arguments. Another time, I hacked his phone and looked through his mail and messages. He'd been talking to so many girls! Someone named Jenny and another named Mrs. Switzer. An older woman! He claimed that Jenny was his science partner and that Mrs. Switzer was his piano teacher. Yeah, right. How could he do this to me? When he caught me looking through his phone, he was a little mad, and he explained that just because he's talking to women, doesn't mean he's cheating on me. Then, he said the next time that I do something like that, he'll break up with me. He just doesn't understand what a good girlfriend I am. I'm just being there to ward off any girls who want to take my man. Right now, I'm hiding behind a bush, keeping my protective watch on him. Wait, here comes a girl. Gotta go!
