Search Results: obsessed with a guy

I’ve known him for around 8 years. Up until the beginning of this year, I’ve been single. Never really wanted to be in a relationship etc etc.

I am 28 and he is 40. We have always flirted, he’s always been somewhat abrupt towards me in front of his wife, when the flirting has got too much and it’s getting intense he will stop himself and say “I’m married”. He’s always displayed jealousy when I interact with another man. He’s complimented me, he is always staring at me. He has said if he wasn’t married he would take me out etc. One time, he was talking about me in front of me and he said “she likes Italian men but I’m married”

He’s always encouraged me to meet a guy and settle down. However, he does not seem to like the fact that I’m in a serious relationship. He might say he’s “happy for me” but his facial expression and actions say the polar opposite. He is constantly giving my partner death stares, always ignores him (or if he has to say hi, it’s very icily polite), always asks me about him trying to gage if we are still together, when I told him I was buying a house he got very excited and happy - and then asked if my boyfriend would be living with me. I said yes, and his smile disappeared straight away and he became abrupt.

Why is he acting like a child? My partner thinks he’s obsessed.
