Are you territorial about your mate?

[Pyraxis]

Okay, if need = utility, then it is good to be needed. And I even agree on the friends comment.

[McGiver]

and you have a nice ass.

Need != utility.

Happy?

Shit, I did not see this.  I like such behavior in my girlfriends to a degree.

  And now everyone knows why I answered the way I did when this thread was first posted.

When I was younger, yes I was- but I think that was because I was very lacking in self-confidence- I assumed he would find someone better than me.  Now, since my self-confidence as grown some, I'm not so much.  We've been through a lot and have such strong feelings for each other that I don't think that we would split up easily.   I also value time spent away from each other more than I did when I was younger.

for the lazy!

PI - you take the rational view that I always felt made sense,
but deep down, I just couldn't stand it.

Several of my friends girlfriends that they've had have become quite territorial.  And I've seen it implied from many comedians that this happens to them too.  I also vaguely recall some stories of men being territorial about their girlfriends, so i'm not going to say it is a female only trait.

And by territorial I mean that you distrust your mate hanging around with people of the opposite gender, and/or you feel your mate should want think spending time with you should always take priority over them spending time with anyone else.

So for the people here who have mates(I always use the term mate because i dont want to imply the genders of the pair, and i dislike the term significant other, incase anybody is wondering) and for those of you who wanna guess how you'd behave with a future mate, how territorial are you with them?

I ask this partially because I'm curious, and partially because my friends have expressed that they find this quality extremely annoying(and i would agree with them), and i'm slightly afraid it is universal.

I don't have a problem with my mate hanging out with other people..I just piss all over them before they go out, so people know I OWN THEM.

yes.

i pea on her everytime she gets out of the shower.
so the other males of the species know that she is spoken for.

Or maybe you're Mcj's alter ego

What? I just made light of the fact that you'd made the exact same joke he did last year, you're not seriously expecting people to be all angry and confrontational are you? (Who gets like that with people they don't know at all anyway?)
