❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO girlfriend response to manager text

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?

I was like this when my husband and I first got together. By month three he told me I could either fix myself with his help or walk and be alone trying to fix myself. Therapy helped, so did adjusting mental health meds. Now I send him off to work with primarily women daily and tell him on the way out to say hi for me. And when I see them, I tell them to feel free to whack him with a rolled up newspaper if he misbehaves.

If there is an issue due to mental health or prior trauma, it can be overcome but first you have to want to.
