Cupid’s Advice:

Being protective is wonderful, but it’s easy to cross the line into being overprotective.  Cupid has some tips on how much your mate should defend you:

1. The good: It’s extremely important that your mate at least feels protective of you.  That way you know that someone’s always got your back no matter what.

2. The bad: Sometimes a partner can use being protective as an excuse to be possessive and keep you from doing things you want to do.  Make sure your significant other isn’t crossing the line.

3. The ugly: Being watchful over you can sometimes result from jealousy.  If your significant other won’t let you see certain people, talk to him or her about the real reason for their sheltering.
