His worries are pushing me away
I love my boyfriend more than anything but he’s really starting to push me away. He gets upset when I talk to other guys because he thinks I’m going to find someone better than him and he’s really scared of losing me. I show him I care about him, I tell him all the time, etc. but he is still always worried about it. I don’t flirt with other guys, I don’t hang out with other guys alone or anything like that. I’ve also never cheated in my life, never will.
Him nagging at me about this it sort of pushing me away, what should I do? Every time we talk about it he says he’s going to try harder but yet it keeps happening. His last girlfriend of 3 years didn’t hurt him, he actually hurt her (as he admits) so I know it’s not a past relationship issue.
You can talk, and show him ALL you want, but if he hasnt changed, then he is who he is…A VERY insecure person, with low self esteem. Hes only creating an UNhealthy relationship that is going to literally drive you away. I remember not long ago a girl asked if it was ok for her boyfriend to be saying “I love you” after only 3 weeks, and you said its never too early. I dated a guy for only 2 1/2 weeks, because he told me during the 2nd week of dating that he “loved” me over the phone. I was in shock to put it mildly, and right there that threw up a red flag for me. You cant possibly know someone in that short amount of time. Those feelings are either infatuation, or lust, because I dont believe love can happen that quickly. You havent even seen that person at their worst yet, because the beginning of a relationship is in the infatuation stage yet. “ It takes months to uncover who someone really is, and it can take a lot longer if he is good at keeping on a mask or being who they think you want them to be.”
Try talking to him about the issue again, but this time you need to come from a place of strength. If you’re boyfriend doesnt truly believe you’re going to leave if things don’t get better, than what’s his incentive for changing? If he knows he can treat you however he wants to and get away with it, he will. Even though you love him, you need to LEAVE the relationship if things don’t change. Remember, you do not deserve to be treated this way – you are not an animal on a leash, you are a human being. So if your boyfriend doesn’t change this jealous behavior, or if you don’t get out should he refuse to work on it is only going to get worse.
It could be that he’s worried you will hurt him like he hurt the last girl. Often guilt and the insecurities guilt drags along are the fuel to the fire. To be completely honest, though, a little jealousy is inevitable. We all have it, and it’s completely normal to have. Jealousy in huge loads is awful, but how the jealousy is dealt with is the solution to the problem.
Now, dealing with the jealousy is something that’s entirely on him. He has to understand why he’s feeling this jealousy, change the jealous thoughts to positivity, and put all his trust into you. Trust is a very huge key to a relationship; if he doesn’t have it, he will keep pushing you away.. He needs to understand that you’re feeling that way, if he doesn’t.
Anyhow, here’s a good article on jealousy. Perhaps you can suggest it to him the next time you talk about this. (I find what it suggests spot on.) It’s a little something to help him overcome it. :)

It has a lot of tips and stuff, so I hope it helps.
Good luck!
