I (17F) am dating a guy (16M). We have been dating almost a year now and throughout our relationship, he has said something about any guy who talks to me. I don’t wanna say he’s insecure, but is more of a “shes mine. no one gets to look or touch.”
Usually I wouldn’t say anything about it. Especially since I’m his first real relationship. Every other one has been super fast/rushed and if they didn’t get what they wanted from him, they’d leave or “cheat”. We have both made it super clear that we want a slower paced relationship where we can actually go on dates and do cute couple things, and it definitely helps us, but I’m not quite sure how to help in this situation.
We’ve been over the “you can always talk to me, no matter what.” talk and i’m very clear about how his opinions and feelings matter and affect our relationship but recently he’s been really closed off.
If anyone has experienced this, how can I help support him or what can i do in general? I’ve made it very clear to him that I am with him and that I love him and I have and always will support him, but idk.
TL;DR;: How can I support my bf ?
