If you are experienced in love and relationships, then you have probably encountered your fair share of terrible boyfriends in the past. You might have experienced being in relationships with men who were too overconfident and vain; men who were really only in it for themselves.
You got so tired of being with these selfish men that you actually welcomed any kind of change. You were desperate to be with any other kind of man. You were desperate to be with a guy who would finally think about someone other than himself for once.
That is why when you finally met the “nice’ guy, you were so excited. You were finally with a man who would bring you pretty flowers out of the blue. You were with a guy who would take you out on really fancy and elaborate dates that he would really put a lot of effort into.
You were finally with a man who would only ever really have eyes on you whenever you were out together. You were finally with a man who kept on reminding you of the things that you were missing out on when you used to only date selfish assholes. You were swept off your feet because of how well he was able to just set himself apart from you.
You begin to get your hopes up. You start to think that you actually might have a future with this nice guy. But then over time, you notice that there are some parts of him that you’re not particularly fond of after all. You start to notice that he’s not that great of a guy; far from what you initially thought.
You used to always be thankful for how much he cared for and loved about you. But now, he’s acting more crazily. His passion and infatuation for you are bordering on obsessive. He is starting to become very possessive and controlling – and that is really starting to make for a very toxic relationship atmosphere. You start to feel exhausted by his presence. The relationship starts to become very difficult to bear.
And it’s all because you have to deal with a guy’s insecurities. If you notice that a lot of the things that are written here apply to your man, then it’s likely that he has some serious insecurities that could potentially kill your relationship.
