Am I being a clingy fiancé?
My fiancé and I have been together for a really long time and well... I still can't help but feel jealous when he goes out with friends. I mean, I don't text him constantly when he is out and when he talks to me while out with the guys I quickly end texts or calls cause I want him to go back to it, and have fun. And even though I act totally chill with it on the outside , I feel guilty for being jealous and not being there . I mean, I know I can't have him all to myself, and I wouldn't even want that. And yet he can read me like a book and sometimes calls me out on being jealous and asks if I want him to stay home, which, I always say no and just let him go, but then he worries. Am I acting sensibly? Should I tell him I get jealous sometimes ? Or should I keep doing what I am doing?

Opposites attract but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are the best match. He doesn't understand your possessiveness because he does not have that trait. If he can compensate for it and just accept it then you two will be okay. If not then you're going to have major problems.
Even if he isn't doing anything dishonest you are going to feel insecure because the two of you have very different lifestyles and you look at love differently. You see love as being a possession - - something that you have - - and something that should not be shared with anyone else. He sees love more as an act - - something that you do - - and it does not belong to just one person. You want his company exclusively to feel loved. He needs to be around many people to feel loved.
Here's what I suggest. The two of you are going to have to agree on face time and space time. You need to understand that although he loves you it is difficult for him to spend extended periods of time alone with you without feeling smothered. Sounds weird, I know, but it is true. So pick a time that you can have him all to yourself and agree on how long so he doesn't feel stressed or forced. Then agree on a time when he can just go and do his thing without you and agree how long so that you don't get stressed. Some people can make that work, but you've got to be honest with yourself as to whether or not it is really worth it because you CAN find someone who won't have a problem with spending every minute with you!
Good luck!

What are you considering a really long time would help. However, it is common to want to have quality time or just to be included or offered to participate in these other activities even if your going to decline. It does help if you know the friends or activities he is being involved in. Anytime I was ever jealous I had a reason to be (even if it was stupid to others it made me feel like I wasn't important) my best thing was to first figure out what would make it better and talk to the person about it honestly. I mean if you are going to MARRY this person then you should be talking to him and resolving issues like this together.

I would say talk to him, because if you guys are getting married you need to learn to talk about these things with each others. I'm sure it won't be easy but explain nicely to him that you have been a little jealous and that you would like to spend more time with him but make sure he does get a little time with his friends because all men need bro time or whatever they call it! Lol so talkk things out normally and nicely the last thing you want is him to leave you because you two can't talk things out.
You just can't be jealous when he goes out with friends, he needs some time with his friends just like you would. Are you just jealous that you can't spend that time with him? I do think that it is good you don't show your jealousy sometimes but it is also good to make sure he knows that sometimes you want some time with him otherwise how will your marriage work if you two can't sort these simple things out, you want to be sure you are completely happy with him before you two get married otherwise you will be very unhappy if you haven't sorted these things out.
Goodluck, and I hooe this helps you;)
