I Don't Want An Attention Seeker

When I find a girlfriend, I want my girlfriend to want attention from me, lots of it, but I don't want her to seek attention from anyone else, regardless of reasons. I want her to devote herself to me and none else, I want to be the only one, just like she'll be the only one for me.

I don't think that's unreasonable at all. In a way it sounds like the description of a perfect relationship.

But, suppose your GF had a passion or an extraordinarily strong interest in something else, such as getting an advanced degree, a love or certain animals or raising money for a charity or cooking or any one of the thousands of things that people devote time and effort to? Even more to the point, suppose she took an interest in a younger woman who she wanted to mentor and help through some rough spots in her life?

Would those passionate outside interests make you jealous?

Well, don't get me wrong, if my GF wanted to get an advanced degree, even masters or PhD I would fully support that and it wouldn't change a thing. Mentoring and helping a younger woman would also be fine, same with animals/pets, I wouldn't mind at all. As a matter of fact, if she had something she dream about, that would make me happy and I would want to cheer on her and help her achieve her goals.
But of course I would like her to take some time off for me as well and not just neglect me all the time, but I believe she would know how to handle that.
Thank you very much for your input Chrislang.
