so me and my bf were on a break and i was texting my guy friend about what i should do. I still really love him and i wanted to work things out. he looked through my phone and saw that i was talking to him and some other guy but they were just friendly conversations. it wasnt flirtatios at all. My ex got upset and broke up with me. He thinks that i was talking to these guys throug out our entire relationship. i wasnt. i really want to work things out with him. and he said we can start by being friends and work up from there. my question is how do i show him that i love him and that i want to work on us.

If he acts this jealous because you happen to have a few male friends, you're better off without him. Unless you're going on dates, or having sex with these guys there is no reason why he should be acting like this.(Or if it's an ex) However, if that isn't the case, he sounds like an extremely irrational person and it also sounds like he's a control freak.
However if you really want to work it out with him, tell him how you feel. Explain to him he's acting unreasonable, and that you don't have interest in these guys on any romantic level whatsoever. If he's not willing to admit any guilt, let him go.In other words, walk away and let him find someone else who will let him manipulate them.
kathy27 answered Monday October 15 2012, 9:07 pm: You should not have any close guy friends. When you are in a relationship you have to giveup a lot of things to keep that relationships happy.
If that is what makes your boyfriend happy to not to have guy friends than don't have them.
He is jealous because he loves you and cares for you. Relationship works both ways. He has to sacrifice and so do you. You both have to do what keep eschother happy.
I hope my advise help you take good care [ kathy27's advice column | Ask kathy27 A Question ]
rainhorse68 answered Saturday October 13 2012, 11:56 am: I think the first thing to discuss while you're still 'just friends and working at it' is the completely unrealistic demand that being his boyfriend means you are not allowed to speak to any other member of the male sex (excluding family I assume!). Possibly presenting him with your phone every evening for him to inspect for male contacts would prove it to him? Apologise if that's a bit sarcastic...but really before you go all out trying to win him, he's got a bit of 'proving' to do himself first I think. Try 'prove you're mature enough for a relationship with me' should be at the top of your list. Really...breaking-up because you texted a male friend...is that any way for a bloke to behave?
