I don't know what's going on between us!


Question Posted Wednesday April 27 2011, 2:15 pm

Iam 22 years old and my ex is 36 but I was only 21 when we was going out and after we broke up which is going on 2 months now and laley for the past 2 weeks Iam even more confused about us becouse things are getting back to the way they were before the breakup and iam afraid he will be controlling again like he was before like he always thought I was cheating on him and I never had the chance but why would I anyway I loved him with all my heart. when we was together I was always in his sight he never left me alone. He sayed it was for my own protection becouse other guys might take advantage of me it was like he didn't trust me at all. I know that's pretty bad and why would I want to be in a relationship like that and I really don't know like I said before iam confused. Right now the relationship is to good part again like I would color him pictures out of my coloring book, make him cards, and every now and then he will give me a kiss, or a hug. He we tell me he loves me and call me sweetheart or sweetie or babydoll can somebody tell me what's going on?

There is a 14 year age difference between the two you, As a 36 year old man he is more experienced. The person below me pretty much nailed it, He treats you like a child because in his eyes you are a child.

There is a reason why he doesn't let you out of his site, You are young and capable of meeting other people. Your boyfriend could also feel that he will never again have someone young interested in him so he may be doing what he can to keep you around. (Very possible) Honestly, If you want someone who is going to treat you right I really think you may want to find someone else closer in age that is as experienced as you. Age plays a huge role and as a older man he is already 2 stages ahead of you in life. You didn't really go into detail about your relationship but if you are afraid he will be controlling again then maybe it's best to back out now because controlling people don't just change on their own.

Obviously the age difference has a huge encounter on what's going on. You're still young and he's more experienced. He treats you like a child from what you are saying. He's not doing it for your own good he's doing it because it's convenient for him. He knows you are a beautiful young lady and he doesn't want you out of his sight because he knows you can find better. It's true you can! Everything he is doing now is just to get you drawn back in. It's not going to last long because people do not change over night. These are just temporarily actions. You need a more healthy relationship! If there is no trust in the relationship then there is no relationship. Trust is the most important thing in a relationship and he has none for you!

Oh, another thing when it comes to controlling relationships STAY AWAY from them. Controlling relationships are NEVER good because typically it's full of jealousy. Jealousy leads to harmful things as in physical, emotional, or mental abuse. Get out while you can. Good Luck!
