They say when you truly love someone you would give up your life for them. and from what i see it seems that is exactly what you have done. you have no life of your own it is all about his life and no advice can help you you have to decide on your own. That does not seem to be your worse problem though you say you are 2 months pregnant? then why does your other question say you are having trouble conceiving

My Grandma says it means that maybe your boyfriend is controlling, bossy, rough, somethin' like that.

Some guys want to be the center of attention for their girlfriends. Sounds like he needs more than you can give. Self confidence and independence can be intimidating for a guy too, so they may try to reinforce themselves by being controlling. Jealousy is a personal problem, there is a lack of confidence and trust.  I would be careful of this guy, hopefully he's not the violent type.

NO ARE YOU KIDDING, HE OBVIOUSLY KNOWS HE HAS A HOLD OVER YOU. AND APPARENTLY GIVES YOU NO RESPECT, YOU NEED TO MOVE ON AND FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL TREAT YOU THE WAY YOU NEED TO BE TREATED.

i dont think your boyfriend has any control over what his family says. what he has control over and what you should concern yourself with is what he does with his family's "suggestions", cos that is really what they are. does he take them to heart and when these suggestions come, does it affect your relationship with him? there really is no clear cut answer, its only "you" that can sort "you" out. dont be too hard on him or yourself, the answers to these things just dawn on you when you least expect.

Why would he feel insecure about your relationship? That is the question. Perhaps he felt abandoned as a child by one of his parents. He chose you because you fill that void in his life. You don't want to fight and neither does he. Kiss and make up. The words you choose next are very important. I don't think he could be labeled "controlling". Maybe he was concerned that something might have happened to you. If you had a cell phone, maybe you should have talked earlier.

He might be pulling the whole "distant and mean" routine in order to get you to initiate the break-up.  If your boyfriend is particularly lazy, I would bet that this is the case.\n\nThat being said, there is a good likelihood that he is simply at a junction in his life where he is having to divert some of his attention from you and put it on other things.  This happens from time to time and it is something you will have to come to deal with if you ever hope to forge a meaningful and long-lasting relationship with someone.

Get rid of him.  If he won't let you be your own person he's not worth it.  Also if he doesn't trust you then you have to ask yourself if you can trust him.  Believe me you can do better!

He does this becasue he has already discovered your weaknesses.  When you stop this, he will then realize that he does care for you enough to stop mistreating you or he will find some other person to manipulate.  When you put your foot down to this and make him think that you DON"T need him and deserve better...AND stick with it...You'll see him change in one way or another, be patient though because he will likely call your bluff, thinking you'll call him or look for him.  Make him think you're already over him and looking forword to your new life with a cool guy who will show you what friendship and love is really about.

Some men need to feel like they have control over EVERYTHING.  Believe me-been there done that.  I dated a guy who was extremely controlling, manipulative, and verbally abusive.  Took a year before I gave him the boot.  He needed to be in control of everyone and everything around him.  I think it's a sickness.

Sounds like your boyfriend is using YOU as his excuse for anything and everything!!\n\nMy opinion and advice?  Get rid of the boyfriend, find someone else who will value you more, and treat you like you're a human being, and not someone to use and abuse as an excuse because they're no good!

He has some serious problems with control. I would think if this is the way I wanted to live. He has no right to tell you that you can't do something. He is your husband not anything else. K

Sounds to me like hes embarassed about his feelings towards you. He probably wants to keep what you two have in private, which isn't such a bad thing..believe me. It's alot easier to have a real relationship without everyone's prying eyes all in your buisiness.

He's being a jerk.....because he made plans with you. That is extremely rude.\n\nHow long have you been dating. Maybe, he feels that you are guys are in that 'comfort zone' where he can do stuff like that.  You need to tell him why you're mad though.

tell him he shouldn't try controlling you, because if he does, it'll push you farther away from him. there is no reason why anyone should be allowed to control another person.
