Is this the first signs of a controlling bf or do all guys get defensive like this?
We're not friends on Facebook but he got a little jealous when a male class mate (that we both know), who is known for his pervy nature, liked one of my photos (all of which are appropriate).

This male class mate is just a good friend plus my bf knows he's not my type anyway my bf wasn't happy even though he has more than quadruple the number of friends I do and quite a few are girls!

My profile is 95% private except for that one photo which the class mate and two other people liked; my bf's profile is 95% visible but that just reflects our different personalities.

Hi Flo, I don't think you can class this as controlling, it's just that he gets a little jealous, when you talk to other guys. It's no big deal, and what you should do is to try and make him understand that what you're doing is just talking to a friend and nothing more. He has to realise that although you're his girlfriend, there will be times when you wish to talk to another guy. I'm sure he will come around when you tell him that talking to other guys, is not going to lessen your feelings about him. He's the one that you like the best, and that's why he is your boyfriend. It might not get through to him on the first attempt, but if you keep reassuring him, then I guess you'll get him round to your way of thinking.
I wish you happiness

just be aware, give him the benefit of the doubt this time, but keep your options open, control can manifest in many different ways. its about power. so he could try to limit you going out, or what you wear when you do go out, what time you back etc. he might try to limit your friends, especially male friends. he will try to distance you from friends and family, he would check your phone, emails , face book etc, tell you what photos to put up or take down etc. he might try to take control of money. he might make you do sexual favours you wouldn't normally do!. these are just examples of behaviors of controlling men, but a controlling man might not display all of these characteristics or any he might be very clever. if he cant be wrong, he always has to have the last word, he would argue grass was purple until you agrees with him that he was right!! simple things like that are good tell tell signs, is its about power!! he will always need to have a position of control or power. he might put you down say nasty things to you like say your fat or ugly or stupid, he will try to make you feel worthless, that wat you will stay with him because he is trying to make you believe nobody else will want you!!
