So watch out for some signs of jealousy and put a lid on them when they show up. Check out these signs that indicate you are a jealous boyfriend.

5. You overanalyze things
Are you always critically analyzing every relationship that you observe or know of? Are you talking about it constantly to your girlfriend and expressing how you aren’t like that? While analyzing people could be understandable if genuine and once in a while; constant indulgence in this habit is near fatal.
6. You don’t like your girlfriend’s friends
Do you hate some of your girl’s friends? And if so, pay a close watch on the personalities of these ones specifically. Are they extroverted, extremely friendly and liberated? Then chances are you do not want your girl to be influenced by their characteristics.

8. You want everyone to know she is yours
Do you get physical by hugging or putting your hands on your girlfriend in the presence of male friends a lot more than otherwise? This is a sign that you are trying to prove your ownership on your girl and indirectly asking other men to not even think of getting an idea. While public displays of affection are sometimes enjoyed by women, getting too obvious and insistent is neither enjoyable nor appropriate.
