Create a dialogue and express what you have noticed so far and how it feels to be in your position. The golden rule is, do not accuse him, ask him the reason behind it and make sure you make him comfortable to open up with you.

Sum Up
The possibility is that you may still find it tough to reach a common point even after all the advice. Moreover, you simply can’t change someone’s personality completely and you shouldn’t even try. If you still feel uncomfortable and jealous despite his efforts, it’s necessary that you spend time with yourself and think about whether you wish to stay or move on. Because getting upset every time he talks to his female friends or colleagues will be a waste of time and relationships will soon die a natural death without trust. Maintaining a healthy and successful relationship is as important as making healthy compromises in a relationship. If you are keeping quiet and compromising on major and sensitive matters for the sake of peace in a relationship, it won’t last long and the chances of your bond striving in the long haul will be slim.
