5. He needs constant validation.
He frequently asks you questions like, “Do you love me?” He fishes for compliments. Then when you assure him that you do indeed find him attractive, he doesn’t quite believe you. Everyone likes to hear that they’re loved, pretty, talented, attractive, intelligent, desired, but his needs go beyond those of the rest of us.
He generally suffers from low self-esteem, which incidentally is the driving force behind many of his insecure behaviors.
6. He’s jealous of your friends.
He’s jealous of the time you spend with your friends. He doesn’t like you to meet coworkers after work for happy hour, he doesn’t like you going shopping with girlfriends, and heaven forbid you have any platonic relationships with men. He frequently calls and texts to check up on you when you’re out without him.
At first, his possessiveness may make you feel special and wanted. After some time, that possessiveness will become exasperating when you feel you can’t do anything with your friends without upsetting him.
