    I´m in some serious trouble with my girlfriend.
    She has a cat that was given to her by her ex-boyfriend (they bought a couple together and each stayed with one cat after they broke up).
    At first I didn´t care but now I keep thinking whenever she´s with her cat she remebers her days with her ex, and that just makes me go crazy since I´m a really jealous guy.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    You can kill the cat.


    .. or you can learn to deal with it xD

    If she's attached to the cat then she won't want to part with it. So you're kinda screwed I think.

    Best thing you can do imo is show her how awesome you are as a boyfriend by giving her presents, taking her out.. etc

    You could also fight fire with fire. Buying a cute, but high maintenance, pet for her, so she has to pay more attention to it than the cat. Hopefully it'll end up with her thinking of you more because she has to spend more time with your gift pet?

    I have no idea what that kind of pet would be though =/

    You're just going to have to deal with it man. There isn't much you can do. Don't overload her with gifts. Time spent is better.

    Darkone ir right.

    Then you might as well tattoo the poor thing with: "to girlfriend, from overly jalous boyfriend". Girls aren't stupid, you know. :p

    My advice would be to care for the cat as much as she does. Make it YOUR cat, instead of her ex's. Not just kiss her *** all day to keer her attention on you. Emotions and stuff are more important, so pay attention to the cat as well. It shows that you like the same stuff as she does.

    Might be a bit hypocrite, but being jalous is worse. Lol.

    It's a cat. I am pretty sure it's cute by nature. Hence, you should automatically treat it nicely. If you for some reason don't like the cat or get bad vibes from it, well, guess what; you're the one constantly getting reminded of her ex, not her.

    And I am preeetty sure her cat is enough on its own to not require constant association with her ex boyfriend.

    I'd like to think you're in no serious trouble at all atm. It's your problem alone, she or her cat can't do much about it so either you buff up your self-confidence or you let this little thing slowly destroy what you have.
    By being jealous you might make her think there's a lack of trust between you two and that's not exactly the kind of vibes you wanna send. Just trust her for whatever reason, or no reason at all. If it's good, it's good, if it's bad you know at least you did the best you could.

    yeah, sit back and cool your head. does she ACTUALLY like being with the cat because it reminds her of her boyfriend, or because it's a kitty? and remember:

    Buy a miniture coral reef, that'll keep you guys busy together for a long time. Or just set-up a tragic *accident* for the cat to wander into.

    Jesus Nuclear, your almost as bad as one of my ex's in highschool. The only advice I can give you is try not to worry about and keep it off your mind. There is a reason she is with you now instead of her ex, try to remember that.

    Finally, you can always talk to her about it and if it is bothering you and concerns your relationship it can't hurt to do so.

    Hi Nuclear Launch
    First you remember don't kill the cat. I Think you should spent more time with her, go with her for the dating at far to the home. And don't be jealous because In jealousy there is more self-love than love. Someone says that ;
    -"Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor, but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances, can be life-threatening."
    Thanks.
