[usr] I used to be soooooo territorial of my boyfriend (now husband of decades!) when were dating. [sys] I'm like that too, so I can totally relate. Were you able to talk to him about how you felt? [usr] Yes, but when we were younger -- he didn't really understand. And truly, it was more about my own insecurities than about him, you know? As I grew more into myself, the jealousy loosened its hold. [qst] [None] [bhv] [None]
I've felt the same way. As I have aged and become more comfortable and secure in my marriage and in myself, those other insecurities and fears dropped off. Good for you for conquering that challenge!
I used to be sooooo territorial with my boyfriend (now husband of many years) when we were dating. Thankfully, I outgrew that as I grew more into myself.
