As a guy, I like being overprotective of the woman I'm with.

[WilliamPamer446]

what does overprotective mean to you in this context?

dont control ur girlfriend. thats my advice.

[Ur1local2bisexual]

Depending bc i like it when my boyfriend is protective but he needs to know that sometimes I can deal with it

[Lorainperryxox]

I love an overprotective man. It makes me even more attracted to him.

[WilliamPamer446]

can you explain hw that works?

is there a limit to this "overprotection"

what do you mean by overprotecon when you think about waht you like

i know girls get annoyed, irritated, triggered, or angry at certain over protective things a lot of time, especially the ones that can cross over into toxic levels.

[Lorainperryxox]

Like if I tell him, babe I wanna go out for a girls night at the club…. I want him to stop me. And not say “oh okay babe, go and have fun :)!” To me, that’s a weak man who doesn’t know how to set boundaries.

[WilliamPamer446]

so why do u wanna do something you would want him to stop you from doing?

and by stop u do u mean u are submissive? or u just want him to tell u y u shouldn't and that he wouldn't trust u or breakup or something

[Nikki1989]

There is a big difference between being protective and being controlling. Once that line has been crossed, it is time to break up and move on.

[KarinMcDonald]

@Nikki1989 You are absolutely right about that!

[Jazzy54]

Define overprotective.

[WilliamPamer446]

I hear u usually i add more context to my question but i was tired this time

basically that kind of boyfriend who is suspciious of ur guy friends doesn't want u to go out alone etc that kinda stuff

[Jazzy54]

Oh okay. Thanks. In that case, hell no. If he’s the jealous type, he has to go. 👋🏽✌🏾

[WilliamPamer446]

what overprotective are u ok with and what ovreprotective is annoying and what overprotective is toxic or overbearing

and when does it become weird? if it makes u feel weird does that make u view it as bad

is there nuance nad levels to all of this

[Jazzy54]

I want him to be caring and considerate, for sure. However, if he tries to dictate what I do, what I wear, who my friends are, etc, that’s over the line for me.

It doesn't disturb me so nothing
