Hi I am a 24 year old mother of one.I am in a relationship that is going through many problems.My boyfriend is more about himself then anybody else.He has lied to me so many times in the past one particular time involving another female.I am a very attractive woman and I am all about my man.For the past year we were together I never went out with my girlfriends all I did was conversate over the phone with them He was always the one to got out with his friends.I would get alittle jealous and all he would say is that Im just mad because I don't have any friends and I can't go out. After another five months had past I found out the truth about this other female he had been getting out of bed at 4:00 in the morning to call,I got in contact with two of my childhood female friends and i began going out with them. He does not like that at all he catches attitudes and accuse me of cheating.I have never cheated on him or told him a lie but recently a very attractive young man offered me a trip to Cancun for any weekend I want. My thing is I now that I am very very attractive but my man acts like I'm not. He always puts me down when we fight like he's trying to lower my self esteem so I would think he's the only one that wants and like now I am so tempted to tell him about what this man offered me just after seeing me around with my girlfriends twice.I just want to shove it in his face but I could never imagine hurting him.I guess i'm to good a woman. How can I make him act better?

you cant change a person im afraid, be honest with the way you are feeling, tell him how he makes you feel. He will no doubt, give you an answer and depending on what it is, then you can make your decision but my thoughts are, if you dont love him just the way he is, then he isnt the one for you, no one can change the way they are, no matter how hard they try, they will always be the same, they might grow up but they will still be the same person. You wont change him, so you either have to accept him for who he is or find someone who you do love for just being them.

It sounds to me like you are trying to justify how you feel when you have every right to feel the way you do. You obviously know that your attractive and that other men find you this way as well and it's also obvious that you feel that your man doesn't appreciate what he's got. I feel that you both need your own friends and your own time apart and It seems to me you are actually considering this trip away as more like payback for your BF ringing this girl. I think what this all comes down to is that your not happy with your current relationship and that even though you love your boyfriend he isn't satisfying you or making you that happy. You deserve to be happy and so does he, you both need to realise that a relationship is about give and take and that your both equal. Equality means trust, honesty giving and taking it seems that mutually this doesn't exist. You deserve the best and don't settle for less, you know you can get another man so if you truly love this one talk to him and be honest if he truly respects you and lvoes you he will try work at it. IF not move on you'll only become more unhappy and you may do something that is against your "good woman" morale.
