Trying to control someone else's behavior cannot work for you. You have to be secure in yourself, first, before you can trust another. If you make the relationship about how good a "gate keeper" you are, who the other person is talking to, what they're watching, thinking, how they're acting, you have no control and will always feel insecure.
