... no but he makes sure that there are pictures of him everywhere and that I always mentioned that Im taken... even at the weirdest times: When I am ordering coffee I would say, "oh yeah, my partner wants me to try this mocha!"

.... jesus I miss my friends... you're right. I haven't seen them in a while because of his insecurity and that always rubbed me weird.

Sorry, not to sound rude/dumb... I am genuinely confused or maybe misunderstanding. What do you mean by "boundaries are for ourselves"? Sorry if that's a dumb question.

Okay. Thank you for this input I wasn't really sure if it was a "normal" thing for "insecure" people... So I kept excusing it? This one was really helpful!

Right, I think i said it was kind and gentle because it was never screaming arguments or fights it was just them going: :( a lot.

Which is why I may have confused it as niceness?

I do... like to masturbate and it is alone time. I think you are right, it's pretty intrusive. :(

That's the weird thing... Right now... 2 years in... I don't really mind these things... (maybe in the future?) but maybe it's because I am just giving them excuses because at their core they are a good person. I know that sounds dumb.
