Is it a reaction he wants?

[noodlegirl]

Just wondered if someone could shed some light on my partners behaviour.

He always tries to make me feel that he's in 'demand', everytime he goes out with his friends he comes back with tales about women were pestering him and how he's had to tell people that he has a girlfriend and reckons girls have been following him yawm.

Last weekend we went for a meal and once we got sat down etc he told me that there were 2 girls at the bar 'checking him out' and talking to eat other about him etc...

He also makes out that women at the shops chat him up etc and a couple of weeks ago he took my son to the shops and then came back with tales about how the checkout girl was 'gutted' when she realised he had kids...

I used to laugh about it at first (behind his back lol) but it is starting to piss me off a bit now...what kind of reaction is he after?? He's not exactly James Dean...does he have insecurities causing him to act like this or is he just trying to piss me off? He's just making himself look ridiculous .

He gets jealous if I mention other men, is he trying to frighten me thinking I'm as insecure as he is?

Please shed some light!

It sounds like he's trying to make you jealous - he sounds quite insecure.

how odd... what is your reaction when he tells you?

i'd just say "yeah, sure they were" and then ignore.

Agree with Socci... It just looks like he's extremely insecure and trying to make you jealous, his way to show you he's a great catch... It's a little sad really when they are such transparent attempts.

I don't know what the best policy would be... If you love him inside out, hopefully he will become more secure as the relationship goes on and won't feel the need to tell you these tales!
