writes:My boyfriend and I havent een together very long and he's already getting on my nerves. He's thinks we need to spend every day together or talking on the phone. When we cant he gets mad at me. For example he went out of town today and it didnt bother me. But when I told him i had stuff to do in town he asks all these questons. And is pissed off because I'm going somewhere instead of going to see him. Tonight he wanted to stay the night again but he cant get a ride here and expects me to find him one. And I wont becuase I'm tired and my kid is sick. What should I do? Reply to this Question

 Your boyfriend is far too possesive, and especially at your age when you should be free as a bird. Start to gradually distance yourself from him by filling your life with other things so you've always got a valid excuse for not seeing him.

It could be that he is just in the early-excitement stage of the relationship, where he wants to spend every second with you. He might calm down after a little while.
But if he can't or won't accept that, then I think you will need to tell him that this is the way it is, and that he will either have to accept it or move on. Good luck. x
