How to deal with a girlfriend that has feelings of being controlled, but upsets her boyfriend by having what appears to be flirty or inappropriate relationships with previous sexual partners or new male co-workers. Also when asked to refrain from these actions she confides in these people against her boyfriends wishes behind his back..... What should I do?????????????

Well if she's not happy in the relationship then she could be reaching out to anyone who is nice to her for some kind words and good feelings.

You say she accuses her of being controlling. Have you been trying to address this behaviour?

This relationship does not sound a happy one for either of you.

If you want to make it work then sit her down and have an open talk about how things make you feel and what you do that makes her feel she has to go elsewhere for affection. Then agree a compromise and both work hard at it.

If you are unsure whether this effort will help, then why not take a break for a week. Figure out if you are happier without each other or if you miss each other uncontrollably.

Good Luck!! xx

Shawn E C agony aunti have had and still have a simerler problem with my current girlfriend.

she used have a crush on a class mate.

but she says she doesnt but when they are together she is all stuck up his back-side. (excuse my language)

but to answer your question.

no, no you are NOT in the wrong.

she shouldnt flirt with other people at all never mind ex-parteners.

and to deal with it is to tell her how you feel perhaps.

if she continues then you could try what i do?

as i hate the boy she is all over most the time when shes in school, you should do the same back maybe?

if you dont feel right by doing so, ask a girly friend of yours to play along maybe?

give your girlfriend a taist of her own medecine, it might sound really bad and harsh, but it works.

my girlfriend doesnt speak to the boy as much no more as i put her straight, shes around somebody i hate, im around somebody she hates. which is a girl i have known for ages so she is playing along with me.

hope you sort the problem out mate

hope i helped in any way posible :]
