In any relationship, insecurity is likely to play a part and occasionally men will find themselves with an insecure girlfriend who needs nurturing and reassuring. By asking the question: Why is my partner insecure? We can identify how to act upon it, and what we can do about it.
You need to ask this question because there can be many reasons for insecurity: jealousy is a very common factor and low self esteem another. In understanding the cause of the insecurity felt by our girlfriend we can start addressing how to resolve them.
Help to overcome the issues around your Insecure Girlfriend
Jealousy
It is almost an automatic response for men to glance at another woman that is walking by. Your girlfriend needs to know that is it her you have eyes for and it is only her that your heart beats for, she needs to understand and feel secure in your relationship with her.
It would also make you feel insecure if she was also consistently looking or flirting with other men. It is also possible for girlfriend to see and feel things that are not there, for instance if you are away for work or out for a few late nights, she may think you are not being faithful.
How do you prove to your girlfriend that you are not having an affair? You should always give your girlfriend no reason to think you are not being faithful. Be honest, be romantic and always tell her how you feel about her, do spontaneous things to surprise her and make her feel good about herself.
Self Esteem
Opening up with your girlfriend and being honest about how you feel – telling her you love her, you care about her, how great she looks, telling her about your day and listening to hers is a great way to build security and self esteem. Communication is the key when you are together, don’t let your stress from work damage your relationship, she wants to know about your day and she wants you to know about hers. Sharing your day can be a great way to bond and build trust and relationships.
An insecure girlfriend can become the catalyst for a failing relationship; your partner may no longer feel as good as she once did about herself and may believe you no longer feel the same about them for the same reasons.
Reassure her that she is your soul mate, tell her how great she looks, if she never dresses up then take her out to dinner or a show and tell her. You need to give her all the love and care you can, and be absolutely straight with her on all points. No relationship is perfect and if you have an insecure girlfriend you will need to help her feel special.
