hey, this is long so bear with me. so I'm 14/f, turning 15 soon. i have a boyfriend (16/m). it seemed perfect at first but now...i don't know. he goes to a different school and sometimes its hard to see him. also, he has some family problems. and he gets really paranoid and jealous of my guy friends. he also gets reallllllly enraged about something for a little bit then is fine? it bothers me and i don't know what to do. hes really stressed out so i don't want to stress him out more. i really like him but i don't know if i should stay with him because sometimes i feel like shit when he gets mad.
another thing, i have a problem. i already said that my boyfriend gets jealous of my guy friends. well they are really flirty, and i am too, but its just the way i am. i would never do anything or cheat on him. and even if i don't think I'm flirting, people tell me i was. and i like it when other guys like me...don't get me wrong, i don't like them, but i really like it when a guy tells me he likes me. it makes me feel loved and pretty and like I'm a genuinely good person to them, i know this sounds conceded and insecure and i admit, i am, but it may just be me but when a guy tells me he likes me i get really happy. so a guy told me he liked me. Jim is 16/f too, but goes to my school. i think he still likes me and texts me a lot and flirts with me and hes not the most attractive person but hes really nice. and i used to like him, but i swear I'm not a shallow person, but his looks are a real turnoff. his hair is really greasy and i don't know i just don't like his look.
so my question: should i dump my boyfriend? should i give Jim a chance? sorry its long, i really appreciate you spending your time to help me because I'm so confused and i don't know what to do. thanks
