Has a burning desire to make sure your bf/gf not be with anyone else made you continue a relationship longer than what you should have?

No but people do act like this sometimes. They don't want you but they won't let anyone else have you either. It's just possessiveness and maybe an unconscious fear that you can't do better.

No. Because I'm not insane.

If you don't want to be with someone, why in the name of all that is logical and reasonable would you care if they get with someone else - to the point that you stay in a miserable relationship? That is pure insanity.

No... It's plain stupid, insane and asinine...

I want to be happy in a relationship, Not miserable...

And there are some out there who would do anything to keep others from moving on - and they do harm to the other person.. Serious harm - because they don't want them with another person...

It's actually a pretty frightening personality that would do something like that. It's not just the fact that there is no real love for the person, which I doubt there really is because really loving another in this case would mean letting them go so they could find a better relationship, but also what this mentality is doing to the person acting it out. You are also telling yourself that controlling another is more important than your own contentment in life.

If you know someone like this-run.

Once I get to the point of breaking up with someone I usually don't care if they are with someone else. But I've definitely experienced that where I felt like a guy didn't really want me, but he didn't want anyone else to have me either. Extremely unfair way to treat someone!

When I was younger, I dated a friend because I was sick of seeing her date douchebags. That plan didn't work out well, I don't recommend it and I wouldn't do it again.

You mean "I don't want to date her anymore, but I don't want her to date anyone else" kind of thing? That's SO MESSED UP!!!

I'm kinda in the situation, and I AM RUNNING LIKE HELL...TO ANOTHER STATE 11 hours away, so That I Do Not Return. I dealt with it for 5 years,....however, he wanted me, but he also thought he could find better. When in fact he knew he couldn't and is why he kept wanting me back.
So, I'm throwing the towel in and being done with it....Its called wanting your cake and eating it to, and its very selfish!!!
He does not want me to be with anyone else either, and when I started to go out with friends or go on a date, there he was at my door. It's control, jelousy,and self centeredness all rolled into one!!!!!
Life Is To Short to Be Unhappy, and WE ALL DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!
RUN, RUN, RUN & NEVER LOOK BACK!...I AM!
