Wondering why she’s keeping extra-close tabs on you?
Protective behavior could signal suspicion!
People who believed their partners are tempted to stray used “mate guarding” behaviors—like wanting to spend more time together, or being overly inquisitive about plans—to protect their relationship.
Surprisingly, the tactics paids off, prompting the significant others to feel more committed to the relationship. The reason: You often interpret your partner’s jealous behavior as a sign she cares about you.
But don’t let it get out of hand. While a little bit of protectiveness may boost your male ego, excessive guarding could mean trouble. For example, if your girlfriend wants to spend more time together, it’s normal—but if she searches through your cell phone like she’s an NSA agent, that’s crossing the line.
Think she’s going overboard? Silence her worries by being straight with her: Discuss exactly where your relationship stands. Pick a time and place with as few distractions as possible, and begin the conversation by telling her how much you care about her—but admit you sense something is off.
If she’s afraid you want to cheat, it might mean she’s insecure about some aspect of your relationship—and that you probably haven’t discussed it. Ask her: Is she happy? Are her needs not being met? Is there something you can do to help?
Don't fall for that age old trick, where she tells you her place is a terrible place and not fit to live in, and let her move in with you too fast!
