My husband doesn't want me to go out with girlfriends he doesn't know. He's afraid I'll get into a situation that will end badly. He actually said that if anyone ever hurt me (ie, rape, assault, etc), he would kill them. I find it strangely comforting.
Is it normal for a man to be so protective of his woman?
i would catch him & string him up in a deep deserted place for torture that would put medevil torture practices to shame. i would have IV drips to keep him alive & i would sterilise all of my 'tools...'
i can't promise the same treatment wouldn't apply to anyone who ever ever, hurt her physically...
I think it's normal.
I'm going to college soon and he's a year older than me and in the Army and he's freaking out about me partying already and it's not even close to happening yet.
idk. i think it's just a protective guy thing.
& I find it comforting most of the time as well.
He loves you and has a very strong desire to protect you. That's a good thing.
He might be a control freak if he doesn't let you go out with them after this, or I guess he could just think they're sluts.
Not letting you go out with your friends is not being overly protective, it is being too controling! The chance of you getting raped or assaulted is pretty slim as long as you are with other people.
The problem for you is wheather your husband is protective or a control. freak. The best way to find out is to ask yourself (or him) how he would react in the following situations.
You have been out with a group of friends and one of the boys, not wanting to you to be out late on your own walks you to your door. Would he be pleased that you were in good company or would he rush out and attack the lad.
Also does he treat you in the same protective way when you are together and no one else is around.
If he reads my comments will he pay me a visit (with an axe). How long will it take him to get to London?
let me know. B&J.
Whether we're with friends or not, he is a gentleman. He pulls my chair out for me, opens the car door on occasion.
As for reading comments - this may sound strange to some, but our computer lives are completely separate from our home lives. We both have MySpace pages, but we're not on each other's friends lists. Not any reason to be friends online when you sleep together every night!
And he has already been to Britain once. Doesn't want to go back. You're safe. :)
Thanks for the scenarios. Sheds a light on the subject.
i dunna about you, but i think that its sweet that hes protective, but if he gets in ur way of having fun, tell him
LOLOCOPTOR...not in a funny mood
I have question for you. A guy caught a guy that brutally raped his wife and killed him. Should the guy do time for it?
I think he should be honored for it.. The case I stated is fact. And, I think he got 20yrs. for doing it!
Restricting your freedoms isn't correct no matter how much he loves or wants you safe, because it'll put a wedge between you and your husband after a period of time. Ask him to give you some trust, tell him that at one point you were alone in your life (were you not?) and you can/could handle yourself. If he doesn't like that, enroll into defense class and buy yourself a gun and learn to use it.
Then tell him to take his shotty idea elsewhere?
It could be jealousy/control freak or actual fear for your safety. Talk with him about it, be open with each other, yes?
Good Luck with that!
It's always nice to know that the one you love would put his life on the line for your sake or do anything to keep you alive.
Completely normal!
