Hi there. I am the same as your boyfriend I have been in my relationship for 7 months but do not like my partner to do anything in my house. I do not let him make anythin incase he makes a mess. Even if he makes a mess I will clean it myself. He also feels strangely about this and doesn't understand. I do not love him any less. Perhaps your boyfriend prefers to keep his things his own and the way he likes them after all you shouldn't have to share everything such as shower gel and toothpaste? Should you not bring your own anyway. I don't see it as petty in any way. I don't think you should be worried.

Also the other advisor states about there being someone else, I doubt it he is just stuck in his ways for the moment and is used to his own space.

If you were in the way and he didn't want you to stay he would not invite you too.

Good luck

Naley1289 agony auntThat doesn't exactly sound very good. When was the last time he had a relationship? Because he's just not used to having a girlfriend again. You know after a while of doing the same thing or being single, you kind of forget how it is to be in a relationship again. Do you think maybe there might be someone else? Did you ask him why it bothers him when you leave your stuff behind in his house?
