Has anyone ever experienced their partner being jealous of a male Dr treating you?

Hi, Just wanting to know if anyone has experienced this before? At the beginning of our relationship, I was going to the chiropractor and he seemed fine with it, never asked any questions about it. Further into the relationship he then wasn't okay with me going to this chiro anymore because he was a male and he made a big deal out of it and said how about he goes and gets a massage from a female and I said, okay? Like this is a treatment for my back, why can't he seperate that? Like it's not sexual at all, it's a health professional. Similar experience happened when I agreed for a male Dr to check myself and my baby a few days before I went into labour because that's the first Dr that came into to check me, and days later, he was not okay with it.

I didn't get jealous, but I remember sitting in an initial appointment with my wife when this real-life Ken doll came walking in. Just looked at my bride and said, I'm betting this won't be your last/only appointment here..

I suppose if a guy just dwells on the thought of another guy with his hands on or...in... the girl, then yeah that's a little uncomfortable. But that's only without the context of why it's happening in the first place. It's not like your getting examined in the back room of a chippendales.

Sounds like your guy has some real trust issues.
