im 15/f. my boyfriend and i have been going out for two years, but several months ago he cheated on me. he admitted it, and apologized, and told me it was the worst mistake he ever made, so i gave him another chance. since then things have been pretty good, but im having a hard time getting past that. he flirts with girls all the time (even the one he cheated on me with), and even though he swears that he loves me more than anything, i cant help feeling jealous and suspicious. i few times ive talked to him about how his flirting hurts me... but i hate doing that because i dont want to drive him away by being an overpossessive gf. plus it makes me feel guilty for not trusting him, because he tells me that im the most important thing in his life and that he cant live without me. so why cant i just believe him? sometimes i just get mad and act mean to him without telling him why im mad, which i know is stupid because thats just gonna push him away too. but i hate seeming like im nagging at him or dont trust him. i love him so much, and i really wish i could trust him... but for some reason i cant. how can i get over this?
CheerCandi answered Saturday June 2 2007, 4:25 pm: well it seems you have the standard non comunication problem.i mean your talking but hes not listening. well the way your describing the way you handle the situation i can tell that you must be soft spoken. if he really loved then he would stop (tell him that) and sweetie the puppydog look isnt going to work anymore. get serious and get mad. if it hurts you bad enuf then say to stop or he might loos you. (dont actually do it. that should scare him and make him stop) but lovey you could be paranoid. alot of girls hoo care about their boyfriends want to make them happy and feel like their flirting with every girl.

firstly, you can't sit there and not say anything because you don't want to push him away.
he says he really loves you, so he should and probably would respect how you feel, not think your overpossessive. even if he didn't cheat on you, you would probably still feel like this about him flirting with other girls like that, am i right? so tell him that you trust him, but you want him to stop being so flirtatious. it's making you feel uncomfortable.
