reader, anonymous, writes (22 May 2009): OK, you've identified the problem. You've recognized the likely immediate consequence -- you're going to lose her. And you understand that you need to change.
At the risk of sounding like an amateur shrink, you've got to get past the earlier relationship(s) that make you untrusting. Find a counsellor. If the community you live in has a free counselling service, use it. If you can afford to hire a professional, do so. Otherwise, confide in someone older that you trust -- a parent, an uncle, teacher, whomever. Talk the issue through with someone. Because you're quite right -- being controlling is bad news, and it simply isn't going to work for you, or for her.
