i was with someone who treated me like a princess. we got engaged after 4 months..and i thought he was the one i would spend the rest of my life with..but 2 years down the line, the doting evolved into controlling and possessiveness, all done for 'my best interests'

i couldn make friends in uni that were male, bcoz he was 'worried about me' and seen as my course is predominantly male, that meant i basically wasnt allowed friends..

i know he loved me and all the rest of it but in that kind of environment it is hard to breathe, and the day came when i couldnt take it any more.

i think giving girls their space as well as caring for them is important especially when you are young..now im 20 and single again but i have so much freedom now thta i just didnt have for two years..i wont go into another relationship like that..

thats jus my opinion anyway, lol

Hi Inspired17,
Ah you poor pet. First of all (without sounding patronising) you are far too hard on yourself and women pick that up and can sometimes use it. Like some of the others have already said think about urself first,then they'l come knocking on your door. Anyway, what i can remember relationships at that age are all drama, do the 'casual thing' for a while. You defo sound like a nice guy and she's out there..believe me!!

I meet women, date them, might have love with them..then become blasé towards them, but try not to be rude. I tell them I dont have relationships, but they still try and have them with me, which is odd.

Not being conceited, but just saying what happens to me.
Not sure why they dont move on after I dont reply to all their texts.

Not saying I like being like this in real life, but its the way I am.

Men are easy to understand. Feed us, water us, and shag us and we're yours forever. Laughing

They're no different to women when it comes down to the fundamentals.

Well it's not as if all kiss arses are possessive. Possessiveness(possibly comes from our primal urges... marry you.. she mine *bonk*) can form in anyone and it can be in different ways in which it progresses. It can lead to the man beating his woman or as you've mentioned, trying to block you from seeing any male friends (cos god forbid what if they get all touchy feely.. you can't defend yourself - you're a woman!). It doesn't mean leave the next guy in a ditch just cos he bought you a sandwich. People change, get weird and jealousy and all that bollocks can be gotten over. They're worthless emotions/ attitudes. All you gotta say is, "well I'm meeting them(for where ever) so pack up or shut up. ANYONE can get screwed up in the head. Be it a top athlete, or an average person. Beautiful or not. Wealthy or not.

Go for a person you genuinely really like and not put everyone in the same label cos: They have a small nose like your ex. They smile... like your ex... they joke.. like your ex, they like football... like you ex.... they're sarcastic... like your ex, or they like movies a lot.... like your ex. To top it all off... EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.

You say at the start of the start of the relationship he was kind, caring and treated you like a princess. Well I am sorry to hear how he turned out but please don't think that because a man treats you like a princess he is going to turn out to be controlling and possessive. I like to treat girls like I think they deserve to be treated, I would hate to think that I could miss out on a great relationship because some one before me ruined it.

Any man that does that should hand in his man cards immediately.
