Why do people get so possessive and insecure in relationships? (Page 2)

[DheElon]

I honestly think this happens when the sex or connection gets really deep

[MrAdams]

Because sooner or later some "better" guy will come around and i'm afraid that she will leave me for him.

[krispr329]

Women can't be trusted it's really difficult to full fill their needs which keep changing by every passing hour.

[MrKinktastic]

Insecurity leads to fear, fear leads to grabbing on and trying to control things.

[timidDot]

they might be immature, afraid of losing their partner, or they could have a past of manipulation and abuse, or they've been hurt before. that can make people worry and put up walls.

[lorenzomichael]

Because there stupid asses that's why. if your in a relationship like that and you really care about the one your with depending on how long you want it to last you better fix that shit if not move on life is way to short for BS...

[1CentWorth]

Great question. I got rid of that long ago and never looked back.

[CubsterShura]

I try not to be insecure but my brain always reminds me of what my ex did and then I just can't.

[Massageman]

Because people tend to look for approval from other people for their own, insecure selves. But, humans will let us down, hence the possessiveness.

[MLGbreezy]

Cause relationshipsbare fucking stressful but everyone goes about it in one way instead of considering other ways because of societal brainwashing

[Genasis-Mckaney]

Fairly true.

[MLGbreezy]

Yup and thank you

[sapphire1219]

Sometimes that person tends to have had bad relationships in the past but when they feel like you're different and you're the one, they don't ever want to lose you.

[MaximisPryme]

People tend to get possessive, because they give up a lot for a relationship (Time, money, energy, love), and all they expect, is to have their partner to reciprocate that. Plain and simple.

[abundantlyrich]

I would say it has something to do with their culture or upbringing.

[InTimoreDei]

Got cheated on twice so there is always a fear of losing the person I thought loved me.

[roseypopxox]

They're insecure and are scared to be alone. It could even be that they've fallen in love with their other and care about them

[EmHenz]

I used to be very carefree in relationships and got cheated on twice and that thing just screwed me up.

[LeonBburn]

It's due to ones trust, there's a boundary that hasn't been broken yet, that is making them insecure of how much trust they can put into the significant other. Trust takes time, an open mind, and clarity between each other's concerns

[BellaJagerfly]

There are different answers depending on the relationship. In my experience, it’s has been because he was the one screwing up and figured so was I. It has caused him to become insecure as well as possessive.

[worldscolide]

I'm not sure... I would surmise there is a big fear of loss, that would contribute to it anyway..

[Gojrai]

Its not always because of jealousy... sometimes it's because of the fear of losing the person you love

[hammeronfire]

been cheated on before and swore that it will never happen again
