alisonmarie answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 1:23 pm: Are you happy?
Is this what you wanted out of a relationship?
If the answer to either of those is 'no', then you have your own solution. You need to clearly explain to your boyfriend that this behaviour is unacceptible. Tell him that you care about him, but you need time away from him. If it continues, break up with him.
The way your boyfriend is acting is both controlling and manipulative; in no way is it healthy, and you are doing neither of you a favour by staying with him. That only teaches him that he can control you - and other women.
Scribble answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 12:59 pm: Everyone else's advice on this had been great, but i have one tiny suggestion. Next time he's clingy or wussy just look him straight in the eye and say.... "Man, you are a total wuss/girl/man- bitch. Grow up a little."
Trust me, insult his manly pride and he may wise up a little. If not, go with everyone else's advice and dump the pansy. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]
chaos answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 9:21 am: QUIT wasting your time. You don't need the jerk ordering your life around. If your friends aren't screaming at you now, they will be. It is abusive and disrespectful of him to think that you only live to please him. You will feel much better when you dump the trash onto the street for some other poor soul to pick up. And when he threatens to kill himself because he has nothing to live for, ignore him. Well, report him to a counselor or his mom, and then ignore him. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

Allie1 answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 12:14 am: Ok well here it is. You need to break up with this guy. He's totally insecure and controlling.He should want you to enjoy life and be happy. Boyfriends are supposed to be fun and supportive. I promise you, this will only get worse. He's manipulative(using guilt trips to play on your sympathy). And controlling and manipulative is not a good combination. There are plenty of fish in the Sea and this one needs to grow up a little. [ Allie1's advice column | Ask Allie1 A Question ]
zapreth answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 10:59 pm: This is called CONTROLING BEHAVIOR and is not to be tolorated! If he can't respect your needs dump his ass and ignore your feelings of guilt. I had a ex who called every thirty minutes while I was out with my best friend (who USED to be a friend of his too.) This was after three years of marriage. He started with the little things and kept getting worse. End this while you can. Luck and Love! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
Ask_Miss_Audrey answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 10:38 pm: WeLp...get rid of him...lol...yes saying the same thing as everyone else...but he is just bringing you down. Hes to clingy...and he obviously has low self confidence if he will stop you from doing the things that make you happy...just so HE can be happy! It doesnt make sence?! There will be tons of other boyfriends...let him go, hes so not worth it...what a psyco..lol [ Ask_Miss_Audrey's advice column | Ask Ask_Miss_Audrey A Question ]
Wowitzbrit answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 10:26 pm: I would ditch him, because the longer you date him the worse it's going to get. No offense or anything but just to be blunt about it, I would dump him because I've seen this happen to alot of people. They start getting abused sometimes physical but mostly mental - they try and blame everything on you and make it seem like it's all you fault. Good luck. xox
azngemini answered Tuesday January 18 2005, 10:04 pm: This is so obvious... DUMP HIM. he is obviously clingy. he's trying to control yourself and he's trying to make you feel bad so that you'll spend more time with him. no wonder why you feel like you're in jail; he doesnt give you much freedom. He doesnt respect you, and he's basically pushing you around. when he's trying to make you feel bad, you just need to kno that he doesnt control your life, you do. Dont let yourself suffer like this. He's not right for you, and you'll be better off without him. Your need your space, you need your freedom, and you need to get your life back [ azngemini's advice column | Ask azngemini A Question ]
