Women who always talk about their boyfriends

[jhonny9546]

A very quick question for the Don Juans here. I'm pretty sure you've had the chance to talk to a woman who's already in a relationship, whether engaged or married.
Now, no matter the circumstance, whether you were just having a chat, or for the most advanced here, she was in bed with you, for some reason, but especially when you're talking about any topic, be it clothes, cars, sports, relationships, food, etc., she always talks about what "her boyfriend" is doing.

Example1:
Man: "You know, I got this new shirt. Do you get them from Polo Ralph Lauren too? Do they have any fabrics you like?"
Woman: "Yes, I buy a lot from Polo, too. But lately, I've been liking Guess fabrics more. "Insert boyfriend's name" only buys from Guess because he likes the fabrics better, like pants, of course, because they're 100% cotton."

Example 2:
Man: "I don't like this dessert, I like ice cream."
Woman: "I also like ice cream, and 'insert boyfriend name' really loves the hazelnut one; I always have to stock up."

It's as if in every discussion she has to include what her boyfriend would be doing at that moment, or her preferences, even when they're not specifically requested. What's the name of this behavior, and why is it done by some women? What does it symbolize?

Be careful, this also happens in discussions with other women, or other men, not just you.
It's something they do all the time with everyone. (Regardless of whether they're attracted to someone or not.)


(This only applies to women in relationships.)

She doesn't want you to hit on her.

Infatuation.

My wife had it for me when we were “bf and gf” and it took a toll on me.

It's only natural for her to talk about her boyfriend if she actually loves him, he's a significant person in her life.
OR some women will use the opportunity to point out that she has a boyfriend so you don't hit on her, like @Hamurabimbi says.

I just think that sometimes it's also the fact that they have nothing to say, so they bring it up to talk about something or to make comparisons. They don't have other people they know so good about rather their BF

Why do you care about this?

 

[RangerMIke]

She doesn't want you to hit on her.

Yep, unless she is complaining about him, she is telling you she's taken.

I would be more worried if I had a girlfriend who didn't want to talk about me in front of other people.

That'd be a real shame, unlike this imaginary source of worry.

What's the name of this behavior, and why is it done by some women?

No name.

What does it symbolize?

Nothing. No symbol.

(Regardless of whether they're attracted to someone or not.)

I actually cannot ever recall meeting a woman who talked about her boyfriend. Her exes, sure.

What about husband?

other than the wives of my friends, never...

That seems unusual to me, especially for husbands.

its rare for me to speak to women over 30 so thats probably why
