Question - (21 February 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 February 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *ilish writes:

OMG. This is driving me crazy.

I've been with my boyfriend for 6 months and I love him dearly. But he is SO protective. I mean PROPER.

I have more male friends than female friends and he doesn't like me talking to any of them. Whenever I leave my phone in the room whilst going upstairs or something, he opens all my texts, then questions me. Like 'why you talking to him?' and all this. And he gets really moody with me!

He doesn't like me going into town at a weekend either. Because he doesn't like lads talking to me. I met up with my really close friend James (who has liked me for ages) and my bf got really fucked off. Also, I went for a cig with Keiron (a lad who I had a past with once) and my bf made such a big deal out of it! He also asked me how I was dancing because he doesn't like me dancing 'too sexy' when other lads are there.

Please help! It's pushing me over the edge!!!

aunt honesty agony auntYou only have one option here sweetie and that is to tell him exactly how you feel. Explain to him that they are you're friends and that if he doesnt trust you then there is no point being in a relationship with you. Be clear to him and say to him you are giving him one month to stop being so clingy and jelous and tell him if he hasnt changed after this month then you are leaving him as you cannot handle it anymore. Just remember you need to stick to that, if he is still the same after the month then finish it with him.

It is often true when people say you dont know that you have until it is gone, so if it takes losing you for him to wake up and realise what he is doing then it might be the best thing. He may work harder then on his own and change and come back to you a better person from learning from his mistakes. Goodluck.

Well it sounds like hes concerned on whether or not you really like him or not. He probably has some trust issues and thinks you might do something, that would make a lot of sense especially because hes checking your phone. You just need to let him know that HE is the one you like and that you wouldntdo anything with another guy. He just needs you to confide in him so he trusts you more.
