I've been with my girlfriend for over 8 months, she says that I am over protective. This is because I get pissed off when she hugs other guys in front of me. I probably shouldn't care that she does this but I do for some reason. What should I do to not be "over protective?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah its weird, all the girls I work with are all huggy. They hug everyone even in front of their boyfriends. Its not something to worry about man.
Just breath and think to yourself, who is she with? You, not him obviously you are superior.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I understand why she thinks your overprotective, btw if she says your overprotective it could also mean that she wants to get with other guys (hey you can't blame her)

The best thing you can do is take it or break up with her. Lot of guys feel just like you do about their girls all on a another dude. Thats just life.
i dont know why but it seems like everyone hugging and i mean everyone. its kind of like a new way of saying hello. think nothing of it,now if she is holding hands,sucking another guys **** or something then there is a issue.
