tp2287,

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

It would be good if you told us more about your relationship and about the situations in which you get angry with your girlfriend. Is it when she is 'letting you down' by not doing what you expect or doing things differently than you expect? Because that IS controlling behaviour and it does have its roots in insecurity. I am saying this without knowing you and your situation of course.

You must rememeber that it is your girlfriend who decides what makes her happy, not you. Happiness together in a relationship comes from doing this for one another, doing things together - and also from doing things that make YOU happy. The same way, sometimes your girlfriend wants to do something that is for HER - such as having a night out with her friends and so on. As long as you have rules in your relationship and you both agree on them and respect them, there is nothing wrong with independency.


What do you think?

by doing what you're doing--which is keeping a watch over her like a hawk isn't gonna make her be happy. you say you want her to be happy...but its you who really wants to be happy, and by doing that you do in a way you want to be in "control" with wat she does for the fear of getting hurt. the best thing to do and thatll make her happy is if you give your confidence in her...let go a bit. i'm not guranteeing that she'll stay with you forever, but it sounds like ur afraid she'll go out and cheat on you. life is long, you still have lots of it to live.
