  • And yet again, no poll option for "I don't have a partner"

    Some people are so forgetful. MANY people in fact!

      This poll doesn't apply to you in that case.

  • Though, to be fair, if one doesn't have a partner, it just means this particular poll is inapplicable, to them. Go to the next one.

    If I wanted results on the long-term usage and eating of oranges, I'd question people who have, or eat oranges. I'd not have separate forms for banana-lovers to opt out.

    Overly protective guys make me want to defy them by cheating on them with a mutual acquaintence.

    Bitches can't be trusted, don't expect them to be loyal. Remember business is business.

    a significant otheris a best friend. so, to me at least, I treat them the same. there is no need to be jealous when u trust eachother, so giving them their space is the recipe for success. then they come when they want to.. sometimes I feel like going out solo, no biggie. he can too, buti know i'm #1 in his heart, as he is to me.

    "I give them space."

    Everyone needs space sometimes.

    As for being protective... if you mean, would I protect him from zombie attacks and stuff like that, then yes.

    But if you mean, "Do you get whiney and upset if he talks to another female" then the answer is no. As it should be.

    No man wants a woman who carries on like a harpy just because he says "hi" to another woman, or because he notices how she looks. If a woman beats him down every time that happens... it's just one more reason for him to leave her for someone less bitchy and high-maintenance.

    We love each other immensely and passionately, trust each other unwaveringly, and see no need to be jealous or clingy.
    I'd say I'm in between.

    I guess I'm somewhere in between. I personally think being too over-protective is a real turn-off; I wouldn't want to be an over-protective girlfriend and I wouldn't want an over-protective boyfriend. But because of this, I tend to get taken advantage of, so I'm learning to find a balance.

    I'm a gay girl. If a girl gives me tooooo much space i feel like i want to cheat on her just to make her care. If i'm given tooooo little space i want to cheat on her. I like girls who are protective over me no obsessive. I'm protective over my gf but i give her the space she needs.

  • I dont know I guess its a little bit of both. If my relationship is good then I dont feel threatened or need to worry as much as I would if my spouse were unhappy with our relationship or there was tension. but I know that u cant keep anyone that doesnt want to be kept. If they dont want to be there and u make them stay out of guilt of the kids or whatever then they just resent u so what the hell. I dont want anyone who doesnt want me. but I am in no way tolerable of betraying loyalty. that isnt cool. just get out before that happens. no need to hurt someone that way. hurts way worse than someone saying they are not happy n they want out.

    I'm a very protective person. Especially when it comes to someone that's so close to me. Of course I give them their space when needed, so at times I do suppress my feelings or my actions. Overall, I only do what I do because I care

    • Welcome!

      And to add a footnote to others:

      Never does a bird wish to fly away as much as when it is caged.

      Consider this.
