My boyfriend and I were at an antique store as he was looking for a "centre piece" for his front room. While in the store, he came across a nude ornate female statue and commented that he loved the nudity of the statue as he thought it was beautiful and asked what I thought.

I was fairly neutral about the statue as it wasn't something I would necessarily go for, but said it was okay and that it's more or less up to him what he wants.

My boyfriend then commented how "he thought it was making me jealous" due to my lacklustre response. I asked why he thought that would be the case. He said as apparently I go quiet and "the mood changes."

I said I wouldn't be jealous of an inanimate object, but possibly there is some insecurity as he doesn't generally call me beautiful or seem in awe of my body like that. I said I didn't like that he couldn't have just said what he thought about the statue and gone about his day, rather than comment that I must be jealous.

There's nothing wrong with admiring art, but it was the need to emphasise I must be feeling a certain way. I do tend to overthink, but it rubbed me up the wrong way.
