I have been with my boyfriend, Lance, for over a year now. I love him more than my heart could possibly handle.
I am just turning 17 while my boyfriend will be 19 in Nov. The first year of us together was amazing. We never fought. We both were eachother's firsts. It was practically every girl's fantasy relationship.. somewhat ^__^.
It was only up until a couple months ago things kinda began to suck. It really started up when I went to FL a few weeks ago for vacation with my family. Lance is an extremly jealous guy. He told me he didn't want anyone looking at me in my bikini and so on. When I got back, I began hanging out with my friend of 3 years, Brynden. Now, Brynden and I had gone out a few years back for only a couple months. I have no feelings for him now. I do love hanging out with him though. I enjoy getting out of the house when I can.
It just pretty much tends to be Lance always jealous about some guy which tends to enterfere with our relationship. It's even caused me to break down ever so often. He does say he's sorry later on and how stupid it was.. but then there will always be something getting to him again.
I love him, we're planning on getting engaged in a year. I understand how he can be upset that when he can't come see me, I'm hanging out with another guy friend. But, he knows he can trust me.. we've had plenty of talks about this.
How do I get him to feel more insecure and allow me to hang out with friends without being overly cautious?
Please help!
