How do I stop being too obsessive with my girlfriend?

Hey guys! So, my girlfriend and I have been together for 14 months now and very close to each other (seeing each other every day, going to parties together, lived together for a while etc) and everything seems perfect… nothing wrong, except for the fact that I sometimes think I get too obsessed over her and never really give her much space or time for herself; For example, after work I always go and see her and make sure she gets home safely and always have to know what she is doing so that I stay sane, some days when I am not able to pick her up from work I always worry that she may get hit on by other guys on her way home on her own and stuff like that and I’d like to know whether I’m really being too obsessed and possessive with her to the point that i have to know where she is at ALL times, or most times. she has never really asked me for space before and i know she loves me very much and I love her too but am i seriously too much and HOW do i change this attitude/thinking and calm myself down for my own sanity?

Answer #1

All you can do is trust in her commitment and have faith in her love. You doubt her too much, and that comes from doubting yourself maybe. Have some confidence man, and don’t worry about other dudes! It’s a hard lesson, but I learned it. She’s with you because she chooses to be, because she loves you.

Answer #2

It’s insecurity on your part. You have to trust her and don’t smother her. Put yourself in her shoes, would you want her to be that way towards you? Here’s an example for ya: My wife is in outside sales and deals with men all the time. I NEVER question her about getting hit on even though I’m sure it happens sometimes. I trust her to handle it, and also to let me know if someone is causing her a problem. Here’s the thing: If your signifigant other is up to no good, they are going to hide it from you anyway so why be miserable worrying about it? Trust is very important in a relationship. I’d say start changing your way of thinking now! It may take a little time to break this habit but you can do it.

Answer #3

you just have to trust her and stop live in constant fear that you might lose her she choose to be with you of all the men in the world and she wants you to enjoy the love she is givong you not to worry that her love wont be enough to keep the relationship alive

Answer #5

Yea dude crowding and smothering her like that is a sure way to slowly push her away. Woman will get annoyed really fast or like in your case it’s got you head all twisted up thinking about stuff that hasn’t happened and she is probably aware of it. You gotta chill and relax, and let her do her own thing and “trust” that she only will always want to be with you. My gf does what she wants and I don’t need to know what she is up to 24/7 because I trust her and she trusts me. If she screws around then and only then do you handle your business.

Answer #6

Trust her.Listen to her :)

Answer #7

thanks guys! i appreciate the advice/comments/help! :) but the thing is… its not that i dont trust HER, its the guys out there that i dont trust. because i live in a place where dirty and sleazy pricks hit on women on buses/trains/public places without any shame and sexual assault is scary. and it really gets to me sometimes but yeah i am trying to change my way of thinking and just let things go, let her do her own thing and not worry too much. thank you all! :)
