4. Mr. Possessive
Mr. Possessive is a little like Mr. Clinger, except with a hint of aggression. Here’s an exercise, think back on your behavior with your girl in different situations. When she was getting ready to go out with friends, for example. If you see any similarities between what you do, or say, with what a strict, European father would do, or say… then you know you’ll end up driving her away. You can give her your opinion on her outfit, or ask her where she’s going and the people she’ll be with (for safety purposes). These are all acceptable behaviors as long as you recognize when your motives are to control her actions so they fit your needs, and when they are genuinely in her best interest.
