I can't make referrence to wearing a glove, I am a conventional bear hander. Also I don't believe your fretting hand is for supporting the guitar. That's the strap or knees job. The thumb behind the neck is used to apply pressure to the frets. The thumb around the neck is most often used to dampen the E string.
Maybe re-adjust your strap or find a different knee position. Hope this helps..
