This first step is admitting you have a problem which you've already done. Perhaps you should speak to a professional about this. Something must have happened in your life to cause you to become so possessive with your girlfriend. There is nothing wrong with her talking to other men, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about you at all, it just means she likes to have friends, that's all. You could probably find some self-help books which will teach you techniques to try and get over this.

I used to somewhat act this way with my husband. But then I realized why be jealous or mad, he is with me and not them. If hes gonna leave me for them then he didnt love me anyway. Thats how you should see it too. You might be insecure, but there is something about you she likes that is why she is with you. There is nothing wrong with her speaking to a guy, if she wanted to be with them she wouldnt be with you. I can tell you from experience that if you guys are fighting about this alot and you cannot find a way to tolerate this, the relationship will not work. She will tire of it fast too. Dont worry, she obviously loves you and thats all that matters. If you trust her 100% then everything will be ok.

well, you obviously tried to make her see your point of view, but she couldn't understand your reactions...I would let her talk to guys, but you could talk and be all nice to other women tooo and than she will get jealous and will know how you feel. me too i always was jealous of my husband and he didn't understand and so i talked to other men and than he could understand me. ;-) hope i was alittle help. ciao vicky

That's bad. Bad for you and bad for her. You can ask her to do something for you that would assure you she wont leave you even if she has other friends. She will come up with something if she wants you to work and change.

I am the same way with my boyfriend, I can't see him talking to other girls. But the thing is.. he started this whole thing, I had no problem in the begining with him talking to girls, until he made me stop talking to all my guy friends, and the funny thing is.. now that I've lost all my guy friends, HE TALKS TO GIRLS!! The whole situation just causes problems, you should be able to trust your girl, and if you don't then there's no point of having a realationship because a realationship is nothing without trust.

hey common people juz becuz ur partners hav u in their lives doesn't mean their lives will begin and end with u.,..they too have got a lyf away from you nd u gotta respect their private lives or u'll be in big trouble..noone wwants another person;howsoever important he may be..to invade their lives and stop them from taking their own decisions..just because your boyfriend/girlfriend talks wit some other gal/guy does'nt mean their love for you will decrease..and if you trust your partner better trust their judgements about life as well..

well you should tell her not to get too close to other guys.maybe it's the way she talks to them.is there physical contact?!like slapping jokingly,or something like that,'coz if she's too cozy with the guys around her,then that could be a really big problem.tell her you're not comfortable with that,and if ever she talks to someone you don't know then tell her to introduce the two of you,so you would know who's who.well i guess that is all i can suggest that you do.good luck!

I think I am, I don't want him to think that way but sometimes circumstances just happens and I cannot do anything to stop it. I mean sometimes it is really in our system and we cannot take it away. As for you, you better take anger management, do you know that my bf is like that too! And I feel so bad everytime things like that happen...

first you have to measure your trust to her. Why do you get jealous or angry when she's talking to another guy? have you been cheated before by another girl or have you cheated before? Fears and insecurities are caused by different experiences. If you trust your partner enough, even if you are far away you would know that her heart belongs to you and you dont have to guard her 24hrs a day. if you truly love her you must know what makes her happy and what makes her unhappy.

I think you need to hangout with more friends with other gender... i think its normal for a girl to talk to guys ... its not always about affairs "You have to open a bit" .. please be realistic here.,.. you cant expect the world change for you... you have to believe in yourself... and her... first in yourself... and be more confident about your looks and behavior... Dont allow anyone else to rate your success in relationship Majority of the time i have seen that people who have insecurity problem ..... 1) believe that if her girlfriend or wife is talking to some person is having an affair with that person 2) also believe that they are not capable enough to keep them to themselves.... or not capable enough to keep them satisfied or happy or not succesfull enough... 3) they also tend to think that women only go to succesfull men and can only be cruel and can never sacrifice ________________________________________________-- Solutions 1) you can try hanging around with your girlfriend while she is talking to some other guy and stop comparing your girlfriend with some other girl who is flirting with you or some other guy 2) Dont generalize and behave that you know entirely about everyone in the world.. world is a very large space to know everything about... there are men who cheat more than women... so you should be feeling more secured than other women in general 3) Stop comparing yourself ... and trying to prove that you are the best at everythign you do... somewhere you have the fear of failure ... you should overcome that fear by understanding that failing does not mean end of life... but it means a beginning of new horizon hope this helps dude... chilll out till then enjoy and happy earnings

I am possessive also but i am not over possessive.. I am letting my girl to talk with her friends even they are boys. It doesnt matter to me coz we do have trust with each other.

I can be, but I also try to control my actions because I know it might lead to something which might make us have a misunderstanding.. I think you should talk to her in a soft way, tell her you want to explain your feelings.. Then explain to her how you really feels, admitting you're jealous and over-possessive is a start and tell her that you also need her to help you to work on this problem.. That's what makes a couple, to help each other out also especially on such problem. But don't blame her why you felt that way.. :)

i'm not over possesive with my partner and i don't easily get jealous. it's just that i want her to be free and let her handle her life and make decisions by herself. i also trust her so much that's why i'm not worried about anything if she's getting unfaithful to me. my ex-partnet was so possessive that she always want to be with me and i can't do anything that i want. we don't own our partners. we're committed to each other but their time isn't fully dedicated to us.

well i used to be just like you once upon a time. I undestand its easier said than done, but the key here is to trust your partner and stop being so insecure about urself. hey she wouldn't be ur girl if she didn't see something great about u right??? so be cool.. and share these feelings with her, tell her that u trust her, but it makes u uncomfortable, and that ur trying to get past it and it would be nice if she could help out in anyway. then u'll see that she'll automatically make an effort to reduce talking to other guys so much

i can understand your probleme with your life parter coz' of yor are possessive of her' it is easy to solve this kind of problem that just you do love ever with her and try to understand completely about your life partner.... later, you will know everything about your life partner so no doubt create to your life partner coz' of you known very well about your life partner' see the problem' you were not take care of your life partner for the past days' maybe your profesional work is tight shedule' eventhough you have to take care of life partner... dont allow the doubt while your partner has been talk with others... just like that she want to maintaining good relationship with others' thats it' ever and ever' take care of your life partner.....
