Ok well my boyfriend and I have been going out for a year now. He says that he loves me and wants to be with me forever!! But the problem is is that he is a sweet kind loving boyfriend when nobody is around and when he is with his friends he acts all Mr.Big Shot and treats me like a dog or dirt. I kind of feel like a booty call to other guyes cause thats all that they seem to do, but when I am with him I don't feel that way at ALL!! I don't know and it is starting to bother me. I have had talks with him and he says that he will stop,... but it seems that he never does!! SO SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he's treating you badly around them then it is only a matter of time before he's going to be treating you badly in private too. There is something really wrong with him if that's what he does to make himself look good. Sounds like you've asked him to stop enough times.... time for you to find a new, nice boyfriend.

I suppose it is time to seriously confront him with this problem. Tell him the relationship is in danger, and his attitude is threatening your future together.

But it is not ok for him to treat you this way. Tell him that if he does this again you will not hang out with him and his friends. It isn't fair to you. I hate to say this but if he continues to do this I think you should dump him. You are too good to be treated like a booty call. Best of luck to you.

You need to talk to him again. Tell him you don't appreciate being treated that way in front of his friends. If he cares for you then he needs to respect you, and see that his friends do too.
If he continues then don't hang out with him when his friends are around. Hope it doesn't come to that but he needs to understand you are serious. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
