Drew, I don't know where I got the impression you were maybe 40 - 50 years old. After reading what you wrote here, I went back and read your introduction trying to figure out where I got the idea. I dunno. That must have been one of those days I was high on crack.
What really sets off alarms in my head about this is you mention jealousy and possessiveness and this thing called 'emotional infidelity.'... I had to read up on that even though I'' soon be married to a brainiac psychologist.... Here's 18 signs you've gone too far with emotional infidelity according to trendy marriage experts. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/11...19129.html
You gave the that your BF defines Emotional Infidelity "as when someone is emotionally intimate with someone outside the relationship." Really? How healthy is that?
If you're close to parents and siblings that would constitute Emotional infidelity. A co-worker who's an intimate friend would be infidelity....
The big alarm is that my guy is constantly pushing me to make more gay friends and for tight relationships with them... and my guy is about as possessive as a guy can get. BUT he has ZERO fears that I'm going to cheat on him so his possessiveness is not a chain holding me back from anything. He just wants me all to himself when he can and...DUH!!! I'm not going to deny him that ever!
I think your BF is going through some deep insecurity issues... and it might be best to move on past trying to address them directly yourself and get him into counseling before the issues get worse.
