Search Results: guys talking about girls

This question is specifically about boyfriends and husbands who set boundaries and get called "controlling" compared to those that don't voice their boundaries and just end the relationship.

I understand why girls call guys controlling for having boundaries about what kind of behavior they're okay with, like going out with other guys, talking to exes, sexual stuff with other guys, etc... but is the alternative better or worse? Is not voicing any of it, and just withdrawing his consent to remain in the relationship if he doesn't approve of the way he's being treated the better option?

I’ve been single for 11 years. The first time I’ve been in a relationship was when I were 13 years old. She was my best friend and then confessed that she loved me, I didn’t want to lose her so we went in a relationship for 3 years I fell in love with her however she cheated on me. Since that very moment I’m not able to have a female friend or even fall in love with one. Women tend to lie often ( they’re not able to say the truth) and change their words. I love women and I believe there’s good women out there it’s just that I didn’t get to meet one yet. I’ve been dating different types of women with different characteristics and nationalities it feels like they’re all the same. It’s either the girl doesn’t want to do an effort or she gives false promises for meeting up bla bla ( most probably she’s talking to other guys as well). I don’t want to be a single guy forever but because of these experiences I’ve cooped with being single and I believe it’s a safety mechanism for me to conserve what’s left in me.
