My girlfriend is headed to a party next week which isn't uncommon. I've been to parties with her. It's fun and all, even though I'm not as much of a partier as she is. The problem is that when she parties without me, I get hit with an embarrassing amount of jealousy! I don't know why; I trust her not to cheat and all that. It is a completely irrational feeling and I hate it. 

We've talked about it before, of course, but that didn't help me very much. She just reassured me that she loves me and she's faithful, yada yada, stuff I already knew. This girl is a dream come true for me. I can not emphasize enough that she's no fling, she's the genuine article, so naturally I don't want to pester her about it every time she goes out.
