Is it normal to be so possessive with the person you love?

I don't mean jealous or anything but I mean just super caring and basically taking pride in them. Like if he has a fav song and my friend says that's his fav song, I get a little possessive like no that's his song not yours. Or if someone has a similar screen name as he does on Instagram and they start contacting me, I'm like no that screen name belongs to him not you. I think it sounds more obsessive than it really is but that's the only way I can describe it. It's almost like I'm possessive of the feelings I have for him like no one can make me feel the same way or take away how I feel for him because he's just special. Or I don't WANT anyone to replace him or my feelings for us. What we have is special to me that I'm just so over protective of it.

    If you really love them, then yes its normal :)

    Its actually great <3 It means you appreciate him :)

    I think cause in your mind he's special to you, and thats a way for you to cherish him. By holding him as the first priority.

        It is as if your ownership of stuff associated with him is being threatened when it is not. Perhaps you need recognition from everybody for something that should not matter to them. Or, maybe you need validation to bolster your weak identity.

          perhaps she doesnt look at it that way though

          she could be fine with other people having the screen name, not like shes gonna kill people over it but she PREFERS her boyfriend having it instead

          i wouldnt say thats necessarily insecure lol

          like i said, it just sounds like she puts him as top priority in her life

          and if thats the case, then theres nothing wrong with that

            Except nobody owns a screen name. If my name were Sandnigga and I ran into you, I would have to accept your name. I should not feel possessive of your name.

              dont you understand what im trying to say?

              its not that she ACTUALLY thinks that her boyfriend owns that screen-name: Sandnigga TM

              Its just she denies him having that screen-name in her head, and gives her boyfriend the first pick when it comes to hearing or seeing that screen-name. Thats what she will think of first, her boyfriend, not the other random dude

              Thats what im trying to say. Either that, or she really does think that screen-name belongs to her boyfriend, and they're gonna sue over copyright issues lol

              Which I doubt haha
