what do i do about a controlling boyfriend? my boyfriend is allowed to mess around and talk to girls but im not allowed to talk to guys! i found this so unfair and everyone thinks he has total control over me because when we break up, and he asks me back out, i always say yes. is it because i'm weak or i'm just under his little 'spell'?
blackmamba answered Tuesday July 27 2004, 2:03 am: first thing i have to say is HOLY CRAP, GIRL! i think i would have been put in prison for attempted murder if my boyfriend EVER EVER EVER did crap like that to me. why do you say yes??? my friend was in the same situation as you, but i talked to her and said " next time he asks you back, imagine all the times he's ever hurt you and multiply that by ten and you'll see how much its going to hurt this time and PLUS you will feel so dumb because im right and he will never change... oh and if you go back out with him ill beat you with my shoe" so read that to yourself, because i think its damn good advice and i also think you deserve so much better, cupcake.

LilMia811 answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:53 pm: Okay, well 1st of all what do you mean you are "not allowed". YOU are allowed to do whatever you want, your boyfriend, is just what he is, YOUR BOYFRIEND, not your parent, not your master, not an authority. You can not let any man control. Once they know they can they take advantage. Maybe it is good to not mess around with other guys becuase it is respectful towards your boyfriend, but you don't have to do jack, just because he says so. And he should be a little more respectful and not mess around with other girls either. If you think you're weak, then you need to stopp it, if he breaks up with you, do not take him back. Leave him alone. As a matter a fact, I would kick him to curb right now. A man who controls you is no good. Move on and find someone who respects and doesn't treat you like his dog. And don't ever let a man control you, or anyone for that matter. You make your decisions. No one else. Good Luck! :)

x0inVisiBlekiSs0x answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:40 pm: its both. u need to stand up for yourself..no matter WHO is trying to controll you! tell him straight out how you feel; even if he has to deal with it. u seem to be under a spell--break away from it! this guy is either a control freak or desperatly, constantly worries and cares TOO much about you. why do you say yes? you have every right to talk to who you want in ur life, dont let this guy take that away from you. either talk to him or set urself free.

A.Good.Lie answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:39 pm: You definatly shouldn't let him treat you like that. That is such an unhealthy thing to do, you shouldn't be putting yourself through that kind of hell. I say you tell him off. Tell him exactly what you told us.
Why do you keep saying yes? I don't think it's because you're weak or under his spell. You may be a relationship addict. That is somewhat of a bad thing, it means that you depend on someone else to make you happy, and therefore, always go back to the same old boyfriend, even if he is a jerk.
But stand your ground. You can't let yourself be controlled by someone who doesn't deserve you.
ixsAveDxmYsELf answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:37 pm: break up with him and lose all thought about him. a controlling boyfriend could end up being very dangerous. be strong if he asks u out again, if u must, keep repeating no.
xoAmy answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:37 pm: controlling boyfriends are definitely a NO NO! haha that sounds bad, but i've see so many of my friends with them, and i hate it. and all of my friends went running back to them. in one situation, the girl ended up being so "under his little spell" that he started beating her after a while! talk it over with him again, and if he still isn't going to let you be free, then end it IMMEDIATELY! stay his friend, but be strong! don't go running back to him! there is someone special waiting for you out there, so although its going to be really hard, just wait for another special guy! i hope i helped!:D goodluck [ xoAmy's advice column | Ask xoAmy A Question ]
xOx_AdElA_xOx answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:36 pm: okay hunni if he is controlling then you need to dump him for good this time...you prolly go back to him because you love him but you need to dump him him and try to get over him as hard as it may be u havta do it cuz if hes controling you like that hes no good and you can do better than him...good luck..<3 [ xOx_AdElA_xOx's advice column | Ask xOx_AdElA_xOx A Question ]
KoTaKiTtAy44 answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:33 pm: tell him that he should trust you enough to be able to talk to guys without fooling around or nething!! but hes allowed to mess around with girls??u should tell him that if u cant he cant!! *hope i helped* <3/Dakota
MFS answered Monday July 26 2004, 11:32 pm: honestly - dump him. He's pulling a double-standard on you. He can do whatever, you cannot. That's crap.
You need to stop falling for this guy. He's clearly taking advantage of you, and what's worse is that you see to know it. Stop letting him manipulate you. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
