Dating Advice - How Do You Know When You're Over Possessive

It doesn't seem like its such a bad thing, but you need to remember we possess objects and assets not people. So now that it has been brought to your attention that you're over possessive you need to address the issue. Here are some guidelines to help you determine if the accusation is true.

If you are at a party and your partner suddenly can't be seen, do you excuse yourself from whatever it is you are doing and go looking for her/him?(to simplify things we will refer to her during the article, but bear in mind it can be applicable to either gender)

There could be a logical explanation for this such as you may have been concerned because she was not feeling well. Or perhaps the location you are in is not the safest environment. Examine your motives here and be sure they are valid, and you are not using these possibilities as an excuse to cover up the fact that you are indeed over possessive.

Let's say you are having a nice quiet dinner together and there is just the two of you. She is preparing the meal and must go back and forth to the kitchen. You are following her around like her shadow. You may be possessive to the point, of almost being obsessive here. If you are going to these lengths where you cannot allow her to be out of your sight, then you need to get this under control.

If you start to really examine your relationship and you find that you are constantly calling her at work, or continually meeting her so you can take her home. Be cautious that you are not falling into the trap of becoming over possessive. If you find that you are getting moody when she is not with you then it could be a problem. These are all subtle signs to watch for.

If you are guilty of at least two of them then there is a very good chance you are being too possessive, and this is one of the fastest ways to put an end to a relationship. It almost signifies a lack of trust and makes your partner very uncomfortable.
