I'm a woman in my 40's, and my BF says he doesn't think it's a good idea that I take public transportation, at night, alone. He says he worries about my safety and would rather I not do it. He doesn't tell me what to do, and he doesn't try and control me, but he says it bothers him which means he'd prefer I not do it. So, is he being reasonable, or is he hyper-protective?? My dad has become even more overly protective of me since he found ::

Hmm. You just described a good guy.
He voices his concern, but does not control you.
You didn't mention the city you're in, so it's hard to tell the severity of the 'danger' he sees.
I live in Montana, where concealed weapon permits are easy to get..Is this a possible consideration?
I DO think he is being reasonable, given that he is not trying to CONTROL you..he is merely COMMUNICATING.

Edward isn't just protective, though, but often overprotective of Bella. . If there is any real concern here, it is the secret religious messages hidden . That strikes me as a far more misogynistic stance than anything I read in

It's a man's nature to be protective, so be patient with him. Look at it thru his eyes...He undoubtedly feels helpless, because he cannot be there to 'protect' his girl from potential harm. this is a very difficult thing for some guys to deal with.
Good luck, and be safe.
tell him to buy you a car
he's being sensible
Im 33 and my bf is concerned about my safety taking public transportation too. I'm small, petite, and have a very mild (push over) look to me. So I get harassed and fights all the time. My bf gives me a ride to work and comes pick me up even though it is out of the way.
If he is truly concerned about your safety, he would make an effort to do something. If he cannot drive you, he should offer to pay for some of the parking expenses, or gas money. Good luck!
Your bf cares a lot about you and don't want you to get hurt by any one. taking public transportation, at night, alone is a no no He loves you and don't want to see anything happen to you. No reason to worry about overprotective mom - yet::

Sometimes I wonder whether or not it was selfish of me to want a child in the It is only natural to be concerned and protective over your child, Robin. You just had a baby and I know you have a lot of concerns and questions.

Its ok for him to say he worries..but for him to say he would prefer you not to do it..no. I don't like that. Before I got married I was on my way to a guy friend's house and my husband (then bf) said "Do me a favor, don't go over there." The guy had stolen my hub caps for a joke, and I was going over there to pick them up. I did any ways. No one is going to tell me what to do..or what they prefer. What else is he going to "prefer" later on. Tell him you have no choice..have been doing it for a long time and are going to any ways. My husband and I are fine..we really do get along great. But there is no jealousy and trust issues are almost non existent.
i wouldn't call it being over-protective. it is actually a legitmate concern. i ride public transportation more then i actually drive my car, and the crap that happens on the buses or trains can be a little "threatening". plus, as the saying goes, "the freaks come out at night."
you're a grown woman, and i'd assume you know how to take care of yourself. but don't fault your BF for wanting you to be safe. i'd feel the same way if i was in his position. just take it as a good sign that he generally cares for your well-being. as for what you should actually do - you're grown, and more then capable of making your own decisions.
He sounds like a great guy to me. He is concerned about your safety, and well-being. While it might be a little over-protective, I would rather have that than him not caring what happens to you. You need to marry this guy!
You know the answer to this. I don't think any man would feel safe with any lady that he knows on public transportation at night. It is simply a safety issue. My husband wouldn't want me to use it and was upset with his daughter when he found out she was using it. I can't believe that you are concerned about a guy caring about what could happen to you.

So, is he driving you instead.
