    Even if your feelings for the other men are purely platonic, he won’t want you to talk about them. Though he may not say it aloud, he wants to keep you all to himself. [21]
    • Remember, there’s a difference between healthy jealousy and being controlling. Your partner should never make you feel like you can’t see your friends or that you should only ever be with them. Practice creating healthy boundaries by being vulnerable and communicating your concerns to your partner.
