7 Tips to Deal With an Over-Possessive Boyfriend
5. Make sure he has a good social life
Your boyfriend could be over-possessive just because you always keep hanging out with your friends whereas he doesn’t meet anyone except you. You can change this by encouraging him to go out and mingle with his own friends. Being with someone else will take his mind away from crazy thoughts and make him less clingy towards you. He will also realize that there is no need to get worked up when you hang out with your friends.
6. Never make the mistake of comparing him with one of your friends
Comparing your over-possessive boyfriend or his behavior with any of your friends is like adding fuel to fire. Don’t make the mistake of doing it because he will instantly start having weird thoughts about you and your friend together.
7. Set boundaries in your relationship
An over-possessive boyfriend sometimes needs a good wake-up call from you in the form of boundaries. When all other ways of dealing with his possessiveness fail, set clear boundaries in your relationship. Tell him upfront that you don’t want him to interfere in certain aspects of your life, whether it is not bothering you when you are out with your friends or how he should never doubt you when you stay back late at work. Tell him that if he values the relationship, he must adhere to these boundaries.
