I think my boyfriend cheated on one of his ex with another ex. I call them both dirty names sometimes. The simple reason why is, I'm afraid he'll do the same too me. You got it in you to cheat and your partner so scared your do it to him.

I'll turn the question around. Why do you feel it's acceptable to stay with a man who shows you no respect, treat you like dirt, interrogates you and insults you?

This is not your problem. It's hit. And it's not worth staying with him.

bruce lee agony auntYou want the truth? Men have a sense of entitlement. They can't let go of the past because if they don't get what they're entitled to (or what they want), it hurts.

My Psychologist has told me before that it is a bad attitude to think one is "entitled" to something. He told me we're not entitled to anything.

That everything should be seen as a privelege. Maybe you should explain this to your bf. It might make him feel better. And then he'll get off your back.

Good luck with it!

maybe hes jst insecure, hes thinking if u have done that to your ex husbnabd, u might also cheat on him with some1 else

im sure thats whats going on in his mind. just try to explain to him that hes everything to u and you would never even think about cheatin on him ( if its true )

and i guess this way he will get over this TRUST issue i would say

He doesn't trust you.

He doesn't respect you.

The worst thing is that you are with him because you don't respect yourself.

Move on and out of this relationship, take some time to work on you, learn to respect yourself by working on yourself, and don't let your past color your future.
