Boyfriends treating you like you’re a porcelain doll?

[StormMistress]

Don’t get me wrong I love a guy who is protective of you but I’ve had a couple in the past that took it a little over board. Fussing about the smallest things, worried about my safety even when a situation had minimal risk.

You try to ease their fears and sometimes it works but habits are hard to change. Why do some guys think you are made of porcelain? How do you let the point sink in that they don’t have to get so worry wart about you constantly?

also I should note I’m accident prone so maybe that was a factor for me personally but still I’m not a single case here.

First, there are a lot of weird guys out there. Even being in the safest neighborhood is risky these days. 2nd, you said you were accident prone. You can get hurt at any time. He obviously loves you enough to worry about you. It might be annoying to you but he has a right to worry about you. There's plenty of reasons why he should be.

this really depends on the details... lol

accident prone though... that is worth some extra consideration, lmao, especially when driving alone in remote areas

I just tell them that they're being a little overbearing if they treat me like that.

You're a mermaid, he's your dragon. Teach him to learn when to guard you from the Kraken.

Sounds like he cares in your case. Hard to tell though. If he does that is sweet.

[Havthrills]

Not all are like that. A little danger can be fun. Lol. What kind of accident prone? Little or small? It makes life interesting to see what happens next. Will be boring to cover everything in bubble wrap.

I do not blame him, you are like one...

Do not hate him for his protective instinct

[StormMistress]

I certainly don’t. Like I said it’s endearing. But it can also be annoying lol.

A lot changed in last 300 years.. We build law and government..

But evolution takes time.. We men could not evolve out of our protective instinct so quick..
Pardon us..

But if you were living in a uncivilized era, where the house, kids needs to be protected from leopards and wolves , you would appreciate ithis more

I saw a tik tok the other day from a woman who said "guys want women to be women, yet, men can't even be men"

[msc545]

You have to take people as they are, anxieties and all. You cannot easily or quickly change any of this.

[Guanfei]

I mean, if you're known to have an accident, I'd also be worried about that more than I would with someone else.

My parents are like that, and my boyfriend sometimes
