Are You Becoming A Possessive Girlfriend

By Tara Hari

Men love to be desired, so they enjoy it when their women get a little territorial. But there is nothing men hate more than an over possessive woman who tries to tie him to her apron strings. The more possessive a woman becomes, the more the man will run away from her. No guy likes to feel controlled or tied down.

As you try to be more and more controlling and possessive, you will notice the guy becoming more elusive and vague about what is happening in his life. There is no better way to scare off a guy than to become possessive.

Are You Becoming A Possessive Girlfriend

Here are some ways to know if you are becoming or already are a possessive girlfriend.

Frequent Calls
It is a warning signal if you call up your boyfriend every hour for no particular reason. It is okay to check up on your significant other once or twice a day, but to continuously bug him with calls is a certain way to scare him off. If you have a constant need to know the whereabouts of your spouse, then you might be a possessive girlfriend.

Lack of Freedom
When you start dictating every aspect of your guy's life, you know you are a possessive girlfriend. He can't decide what he wants to do without you having to put restraints and restrictions on him. You are trying to suffocate him by taking his freedom away. This is a sure-fire way of becoming single.

Tantrums
If you throw tantrums every time your boyfriend does not pay attention to you or prioritises something over you, then that is a sigh that you are becoming a possessive girlfriend. If you throw a temper tantrum every time you feel like your boyfriend is withdrawing from you, that will only scare him off even more.

Doubts & Accusations
If you keep doubting your boyfriend's every move and try to check up on him to see if he is actually doing what he said, then it definitely means you are a possessive girlfriend. If you see your man with another woman and immediately jump to conclusions and try to exert your authority over your boyfriend, then you have to watch out. And forbidding him from talking to his female colleagues or friends is never a good idea if you want to stay in the relationship.

His Friends
A sure way to know if you are possessive is by analysing your attitude towards his friends. If you are not on good terms with them and have issues with him spending time with them that clearly means you are a possessive girlfriend.

These are some of the obvious signs to know if you are a possessive girlfriend. If you want to have a healthy relationship with your boyfriend, then give him his space and freedom. Trust is the most important aspect of any relationship.
