For example, he doesn't like it when I hug my guy friends; he'll get all tense when I do. He's been touching my face and hair a lot too. There's more things than that, but I'm wondering: Could it get worse? Reply to this Question Share |

Yes, this can and probably will get worse over time. You have to ask yourself are you ready to throw everyone important away for someone who may or may not be around later.
The hair and face situation... ahhh, my boyfriend constantly twirls and twists my hair with him it's a security issue eg...it's his blankie LOL) he done that with his mom. However he too is extremely jealous and does it more when there are potential threats around. He also has a tendacy to be jealous of my family and female friends. Mine acts this way in a playful manner and there's no fear of him ever harming me or anyone else but if your situation seems aggressive you should look much deeper.

Just keep a tab on it. I dated a guy that would txt throughout the day and if he didn't get a quick enough reply, he would then call asking casually what I was doing.
He was quite posessive. I have also had a guy that flipped out when a male friend picked me up and put me over his shoulder just for a laugh. He went off on one to me in private, saying he was worried the guy would drop me. He later admitted he was jealous.
None of those relationships wrked out for various reasons so I dont know what it would or could have led to. But as long as you're not up to no good with male friends, then your boyfriend should be fine with them. It can be a bad sign if the boyfriends not ok with your friends of the opposite sex.
