One thing I've really learned to do as well is to say how I feel (when necessary) and not sulk about it. Two things from the weekend - one, BF has friends who went to an adult club that allows touching. I told him that I'd consider that cheating. We had a short discussion about it - but instead of being insecure, I let him know that it'd really not be okay with me. Looking is one thing, body contact is another.
One other time - we were playing pool, and I had gotten the 8 ball in (one of the few shots I actually made ). I was excited and BF didn't say anything...he was on my team. I was like "how about maybe a "way to go"? (I said this with humor). He repeated it, but just like parroting it. I was sulking for a couple of minutes, but then went up to him and said I was disappointed he'd not said anything at all - it's like hitting a home run and nobody is waiting for you at the plate. Anyway...I know it's a tiny, tiny thing - but just letting him know how I felt helped. I didn't need an apology - there wasn't anything to apologize for (he said he was so used to playing that he didn't think of any shots as a big deal, which I understand).
And then I didn't sulk, pout, or ignore him.
Anyway...I'm just learning to say how I feel to nip any poutiness in the bud. My feelings aren't as sensitive as a lot of women, but I have my moments.
