Am i possessive?

My boyfriend and I spend tons of time together (I'm a girl), so this wouldn't be an issue of niglect, and I always feel great whenever we're together. But whenever he wants to go out with friends, I can't help but get either alittle jealous or just plain angry. It's not that I don't like his friends, I just want him to be with me. It sounds selfish, I know, but I don't actually tell him this, I do let him go.
Are my feelings okay, or am I possessive?

    I think that it's normal to want to spend your time with someone that you care about. But you both need time to yourselves too.

    It's a good thing that you tell him how you feel. Don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise. If you don't tell him, then those emotions will build up in you and you will start doing things unconsciously that may cause harm in the long run.

    I think that you might want to talk to someone about your feelings, someone outside the relationship. I think a professional would be a good idea, but even talking with your friends will help you keep your feelings in check.

    You sound a bit jealous and possesive, if you really like him or love him, you should defenitely let him go out with his friend, no matter how you like him, you must let him go out with his friend without him feeling guilty about it, as you should be able to go out with your friends without feeling guilty either.

    But you know... everything in a relationship is based in mutual trust and communication, why don't you talk with him and express as you feel...

    Good luck!

      No don't talk to him and tell him how you feel, because then he'll feel that you don't trust him and say he can hang out with who ever he feels like, then an argument will happen.

    Doesn't sound possessive to me, just easily jealous.

    ME TOO, you get used to it after about 4 years, go out with him sometimes. You sound like you've been cheated on in the passed or dumpped a number of times, me too, but my man and i worked passed it, you can to, try hard not to act on these feelings, fights aren't good, PICK YOUR FIGHTS is the key

    how would u feel if u found out your boyfriend didnt want u going out with your mates? Its natural to feel jealous if he wants to be with his friends instead of you but give the guy some space...

    What is niglect? Is it a new racist form of ignoring people?

    That does sound kinds possessive, honestly. He should be allowed to do what he wants, and you can't deprive him time with his friends... I hate that "I'm dating you, you dont need anyone else but me" attitude. It's unrealistic. Let him be with his friends, take nights to yourself to hang out with yours... Every couple needs space.

    My bf and I aren't always doing the same things when hes around. I'm a lot more active than he is, but it's never been a problem for me to go out to a party or hiking and he finds something he'd rather do.

    This doesnt sound strange at all, have you told him this though?
    Don't try to go overboard with this though, I know a guy who broke up with his girfriend because she was too possessive and wouldnt let him hang out with his friends. Its good you can let him go, give him space and room to breathe, i'm sure if you told him though he will be very touched that you love him so much to want to always be with him 24/7

    i got w/my bf and had alot of trust issues from a past relationship but he helped me through it but i also know it is important for a man to have his space but usually his friends come hang out here and we all talk and joke around... see if thats an option realize trust is important and it sounds like your stingy and don't trust him let him be his own man if he loves u then he will bring u into his space w/his friends to be his trophy so to speak lol... we have friends who are a couple with a kid and that works out great maybe hang out w/another couple

    I personally don't think you are possessive because doesn't always wanting someone around just mean you really really really really like that person? I mean I would be flattered if a girl always wanted me around. And him wanting to go off with his friends kind of shows he's not really a leader. I'm the leader of my friends(not boss) and they know that I will come if I feel like it. If you are the leader then you don't have the urge to go out with your friends all of the time-guys anyway. So just tell him you would rather have him be with you then go off with his friends and if he doesn't like that idea then I guess he's just too stupid to see what he is missing.

    don't worry i can totally relate, i'm married n we work together n live together(u would think jesus take a break right) well even though we spend lots of time together n he wants to play videogames i get jealous, i let him of course cause if i dont ever give him space i will lose him but its almost like well u cant talk or f*ck touch anything a videogame, u can do countless things with me... but it happens so dont feel bad. i get the same way.

    Maybe you should hang out with his friends too.

    i think that you should work out with him when he should go out with his mates and when he should be with you ( with you more than his mates)

  • You sound like a young person, this isnt rare amoung young people in relationships, the best thing to do is not to give into the feelings and tri to get use to him having friends and some time with them. If you keep it up this could ruin what you got so do your best to break the habbit.

    If you deprive a man of his 'own space' the relationship will inevitably fail.

    Trust me on this one !

    It doesn't seem like your aunt is attractive due to schizophrenia. But, HERE is my other side. It isn't abnormal to be sexually attracted to your aunt if she is hot. Am i saying have sex, NO try and stay distant. But to all you guys in denile with hot aunts, you're not alone. You got a stick, marbles and hot sisters of your parents. Your hormones aren't gonna determine who is your family member. BUT FIGHT IT. Go out and find a cougar not related. They like younger men anyway.
