Well my boyfriend and i have only been together 3 weeks and i've always known he was sort of the possessive type but i think its getting a bit over the top. I used to kind of like it but lately he's just been going to far i think. Like today he hit some guy he accused of hitting on me and he doesn't like me hanging out with my guy friends. And i found out he threatened my best friend (who's a guy) to stay away from me!?! I'm bisexual so sometimes he doesn't even want me to be around my female friends to much!! Some of my friends think it's hot how possessive he is but about just as many think it's going somewhere dangerous and i just don't know who to listen to or even what to do about it!! Help please?!??

exxis123,

NO, it is definitely NOT okay for your boyfriend to act as if he owns you!!! No, no, no, no.

He is capable of being violent toward your friends. How long before he starts on you? He is dangerous and you need to cut off all contact with him NOW before getting any more involved.

In any case, at your age you should be focusing on your school work and in your free time enjoying your friends and other activities. It may be normal to have crushes at your age, but its really much too young to be taking them seriously.

Teenage boys (which I assume he is) generally are not very reliable or steady; they go through lots of different moods and behavior.

Your main concern has to be your safety and well-being. Have you talked to your parents and/or school counsellor about this?

I repeat: drop him now!

123Jessica123 agony auntNo it's not okay for your bf to act like he owns you , i have read you question thing , nd to me in my opinion , ur bf is trying to control you , its not going to end well if you dont put a stop to it now , tell ur bf that u want to stay with him if that is your choice but he has to relax , nd let you have space , but if you dont put a stop to it now , then it might get to the point where its too late nd can lead to an abusive relationship.
