8 Signs You are an Over-Possessive Girlfriend
5. You want to re-do him and his life
If your agenda in life is to give him, his apartment and his life a complete makeover, then it is one more point added to your over-possessive traits. You can’t decide for him what he looks good in, or the kind of lampshade he should have on his bedside table. He is someone who you love and want to spend your life with; he is not a ‘project’ or a ‘mission’ on whom you need to work.
6. You hate him hanging out with any female friends
If you get angry at the mention of any other female’s name from his mouth, then you need to do some serious thinking. He may have had female friends, since even before he started dating you. And for all you know, some of them might be his closest friends. He suddenly can’t stop talking to all of them, just because you think that they are all trying to hit on your boyfriend.
7. You want him to spend most of his time with you
He has his own friends and family to spend time with, and so do you. So why do you expect him to spend all of his time with you when his friends and family too need some attention from him? Just because you feel left out, doesn’t mean that he is going to forget the rest of the people in his life for you. His social life cannot be limited to only you. You too need to expand your social life by hanging out with your other friends.
8. You punish him when he doesn’t go by your will.
Do you give him the ‘silent treatment’ for days together because he celebrated his promotion with his family first? Or do you sulk over days because he went and watched a movie with his friends? Well, you better admit that you are being over possessive. And at the same time, you need to stop thinking of your boyfriend as a puppet who can only be controlled by you. Give him some space, because not everything that he does in his life can revolve around you.
