Well, that's one view. But why should SHE throw this friendship out of the window? How else is HE going to tell HER, to whom he isn't married, how to live her life??

If she begins caving into HIS every FEAR, where is it going to end??

Is he going to begin telling her how to dress - so as to not be attractive just in case she draws masculine eyes - would THAT be okay too??? This is how ABUSE begins.

Breaking off the 'romantic' does NOT, of necessity, mean breaking off the friendship. Not if EVERYONE is a mature adult.

For HIS own sake, he has to STOP this jealousy right now - for it will doom every relationship he will ever have. His love will become a prison in which he expects her to sacrifice everything for him - even her life. More often than not dying at his hands.
