Search Results: relationship insecurity

The guy I'm seeing is very sweet, but at times he suddenly acts cool?
Earlier we were talking about dating and I said something along the lines of: "I'd need that too" and he was like: "but why? I thought we were going to do that?" (while I didn't mean it like that)
Another time he interpreted what I said wrong and he said he was shocked cause he thought it meant I didn't like talking to him.. (While we talk all the time) and he seemed kind of upset.
He also jokingly said he didn't think I could fall in love with him.

I'm already trying to be careful with words but he seems to overthink (if that what it is?) a bit too much? Is it insecurity? I've already told him multiple times I like talking to him, I appreciate him, etc.

(We're not in a relationship (yet) but kinda act like it)

Let me state first of all that personally I DO think it’s okay for guys, including those with SO’s, to like other girls’ selfies on social media. And I would also like to clarify that I’m not talking about selfies of girls that are borderline pornographic, you know the kind I’m talking about. The kind I am talking about in this post, the ones that I think are harmless, I’ve included an example of (a guy I know’s fiancée got super mad at him for liking this pic of me on Instagram, and she made him unfollow me). The meme above is something a girl I know, who is married, posted on FB, but I don’t really agree with it (the part about selfies, let’s just ignore the stuff in the middle for now). Now, this girl is VERY insecure, is overweight, and is on her second marriage because her first husband only married her to get his Canadian citizenship, and as soon as he got it he started cheating on her. Now, her case is a bit extreme in terms of her insecurity, but I’ve met quite a few women, many of whom are very attractive, who get very jealous and irate if their husband or boyfriend, who, by all appearances seem to be very devoted to them, likes selfies of other women who are attractive. Do they have a point? Is liking other girls’ social media pics, or even just looking at them in their IG stories, and indication that they are attracted to these other women and are thinking of cheating? Or is that a bit irrational? I personally think it is. I think if a woman has a big problem with her man doing that, it’s a sign that she’s either very insecure, or there may be some underlying problems in the relationship, and deep down she’s afraid that he’s attracted to other women and might want to cheat. If so, I think those issues should be addressed in the relationship, because that level of distrust and jealousy, to the point where a man can’t like another girls’ pictures, is very unhealthy. But, that’s just my opinion. What do you all think?
