I'm really at a loss right now! If I'm too possessive, it angers my Bf. If I tone it down, he thinks I'm treating him like a stranger!

Question - (24 December 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 December 2011)
A female Singapore age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hello aunts and uncles. I've been with my bf for about 7 months now but for the last 3 months or so things haven't been going well for us. We often argue over trivial stuff but we make up fast too. He also thinks I'm too possessive. I admit I was and I've tried my best to be less possessive. I've stopped constantly asking him where he was or kicking up a big fuss if he went out with his good friends (most are girls) but now he thinks I'm treating him like a stranger on purpose. When he feels that things btw us aren't right, I'd ask him how he would prefer things to go but to him it means that I don't understand him. He feels that he is the only one putting in the effort for the relationship when I'm also trying. Yet he doesn't see it. I tried putting myself in his shoes but to him it also isn't enough. I'm really at a loss right now. And he actually just blurted his unhappiness out when we were having a really casual conversation. I feel really upset but after all he said I'm wondering if I even have the right to feel upset.

I had an ex like him. Too much like hard work.
