My best friend is really possesive of me?

When I came out, my best friend was the world's most supportive person.
She stood by me, helped me and took me in when my parents disowned me. I still live with her today. We have known each other for years and years, and I love her to pieces as a friend.

It has been a year since my parents threw me out.
I am finally comfortably open with admitting that I am gay, and she has forced me to gay bars a few times to try and 'get me a man' as she puts it. Even though I am hopelessly shy.

Everything was fine until a few months back.
I met a guy online and we flirted for a bit, and I showed her the conversation. She got really angry at me, saying they are probably a pervert who is three times my ages and I should stop talking to them. At first I thought she was just being protective until stuff like this started happening again and again.

When we go out together, she demands to hold my hand just because it is comfortable and she likes it, but she told my other friend it is to make it look like she is my girlfriend.

She really hates it when I talk about boys.

She now chooses what I wear, how I do my hair, she chose the colour of my glasses. She always needs to know who I am texting, talking to online, she has gotten really possessive of me. But we are not boyfriend and girlfriend and have never had that kind of relationship. It is getting harder and harder since I live with her too.

Is this normal behaviour?
Especially since we are just friends, and always have been.

        Easy she's straight. You are a male even if you are a gay male. It just sounds to me like she sounds like a romantically jealous female. I could be wrong. Maybe she's just a mean controlling meanie pants. Either way you need to sit down with her and have a serious chat.

    That's horrible, and an unhealthy friendship. You need to set some boundaries...do you think you can get your own place anytime soon, or take a break and live with someone else?

  • No, no, no. She's not being nice. You should have a heart-to-heart talk about this with her before she loses you for good. Don't be afraid to approach her about it, she's your friend, even if her behavior is uncalled for.

    I feel sorry that you live with her. That's crazy how she is acting towards you! Do not let her control you; I say I feel sorry because you live with her, and she could get angry at you and it would then be awkward living together or she could just kick you out. It sucks because she knows she has you right where she wants you(Because you live with her) soooo she thinks she can fucking control you! I say try talking to her in a nice way...I know it can be hard because I have known people like this. They don't think they are doing anything wrong, and get pissed when you accuse them of being overboard with things

  • Sounds like she sees you as an accessory and not a person. You're just a gay handbag.

      • She wouldn't want you as a handbag unless you were a fabulous one!
