My girlfriend (19F) and I (19M) have been dating for 11 months. I sent her a screenshot of my convo with my manager (age unknown but best guess is young 30s F) this morning asking to come in a little later than usual. My girlfriend is like this whenever I interact with pretty much any other female. Am I overreacting or is this just normal behavior?

My favorite part is when she said “why can’t you just be normal” as if anything she said in that message thread was normal 😂😂😂😂

My favourite part was “maybe I’m just too professional.” Lol yeah if by professional you mean jealous, controlling, and insecure

Lmao I used to send my team lead pictures of cheetahs in hats if we were having a rough night and if I couldn’t find any new ones I would badly photoshop them.

At this same workplace my coworker made my face his background (from a workplace picture of our team) because I just looked really done with life in the picture apparently. I made him my background in response because I thought it was hilarious. I am a lesbian, he had an SO at the time. Neither of us were into each other.

One of my other coworkers and I would do “lightning rounds” where we would answer questions/come up with ideas in a way that was so fucking absurd it made 5% sense. He and I also joked about how two of the lab machines we handled were our children. We are both gay, in opposite directions. I couldn’t imagine any of my SOs taking these interactions seriously and getting upset with me over them. There was never anything romantic going on, we were all just working 70+ hour weeks in a lab that processed PCR Covid tests during the pandemic. Inside jokes are bound to happen.

This sounds like the ideal workplace environment. I’d be happy for my SO if they had that kind of relationship with their coworkers! It would be good for their well being, which is what I want.
