I trust my Husband completely - so why am I jealous?

My husband has recently had a complete career-change and at the age of 56 has become a professional actor. He is currently touring junior schools in England with a 23 year old girl performing two science-based plays a day. Sometimes they spend from 6.30 a.m until 6 p.m. travelling together and performing. If the school is a long distance they go the night before and stay in a bed and breakfast. I know that he is completely faithful - that's not an issue - but I do resent the time he is spending with another woman. He has to do the job so how do I stop this niggling resentment?

I think it is pretty normal how you are feeling because it doesn't matter much you trust someone if you are in love with that person you can't help feeling territorial, I think it is a nature thing...

This is very usual. The girl friend also complaints the same whenever I am with other girls while doing my job. She trusts me and still resents those moments. This is very natural and one cant avoid this. The best way out is that whenever you get such thoughts in your mind, try to engage yourself doing something which you always love to do. The same thing I adviced to my girl and that has led to high telephone bills as she talks for hours to her family and friends to avoid this. And guess what. She hand over the bill to me for the payments.

I think you are probably right to worry. Things happen and you husband is at an age where he would most likely love to have a fling.. However, that is quite an age difference and do you think the woman would even be remotely interested in him?
