Boyfriend over analyzes everything. How do I not sweat the small stuff?

Tagged as: Dating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (18 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 October 2009)
A female Canada age 36-40, *ubblygirl writes:

I am in a new relationship with a great guy and have been dating him for the past 2 months. I am new to the dating scene but he treats me right, talks to me everyday and constantly tells me he cares for me. I really like him and want this to work.

The only problem is that he seems to overanalyze everything, including what I say and do. For example, on one date, I wasnt so talkative after having a long day at work. He took it offensively thinking I stopped liking him and wasnt great at conversing with him. He over thinks things and its scaring me, even making me over think things too now.

I have met each others friends and family and I deeply care for him. We have a great time otherwise. Are we taking things too fast? I dont want to sweat the small stuff, what do I do? Help!

I think Sophie has it right below. Have a tlak with him and ask him why it is he has to analyze small things. Is there something in his past that makes him insecure?

I think the best thing to do is be open about it and have a chat with him, tell him how you're feeling but say some good things too. If he respects you enough he'll listen but don't let it turn into a row.

I think you can make it work if you express your concerns to each other openly.

Hope this helps

Good luck :)
