"Oh, he's with ME"

Just a little rant about a huge peeve of mine: Overprotective girlfriends. They completely urk me. On one end of the spectrum, if you are protective of them because you don't trust them, you shouldn't even be in that relationship. They are built on trust and it won't last long if you have to keep your eye on them 24/7. On the other hand, if you are leaning more towards the side of being protective over them in regards to other girls after them, this taps in to the insecurity issue. If you are not secure in yourself aside from this insignificant other of yours, you should again, not be in this relationship. Trust and security ensure that you do not have to "prove" yourself to other girls, to show that this is your boyfriend and they can't have him. If this partner boosts your self-image and gives you your worthiness, it is definitely a no-go. Leave the protectiveness to the guys, girls.
