I'm currently living with my boyfriend of 14 months and everything has been going well, but lately I feel like he owns everything and that if we were to break up I would have nothing. The lease of our apartment is in his name and all the furniture and equipment is his. I came into this living situation not having anything, but I feel that I should at least be able to be apart of the lease. I don't know if I'm thinking too much about this, or if I feel that I don't have any say over anything in the house or because I came into the relationship with nothing then I don't get a say about it. Should I move out and get my own place or just suck it up and get over it??? Please help.
Time apart makes life lonely, I know. But, to put things in perspective, think about our allied forces serving overseas for several months at a time. I know a woman who hasn't seen her newborn child in months. She had the baby, and 6 weeks later she's in Iraq.
Think about their situation, and be grateful for all the time you have with your man. Seems a little better, huh? The schedules will get better in time, right? Until then, do like KC said make the most out of the time you do have. Do special things.
Try to sit him down and work out a better schedule. But like others have pointd out, it's not about quantity, it's about quality. But quantity can be nice too. So try to find some compromise so that the two of you can spend more time together.
You should have your own things to do every evening. Why just sit, and be lonely, when you could be enjoying your time, and freedom???
You would have no resentments, or fights, if you were busy yourself.
I had to spread the rep, but that's what I was going to say.
Go out and have fun, rather than sitting at home and waiting around. Take up some new hobbies, make new friends. Then if he comes home and you're not there, it will give him time to miss you too. =)

my boyfriend and I have been together for a while now and we have always been quite open about our previous sexual relations but although I have never told him, it really really gets to me how many girls he has slept with. I don't know what to do about it. any suggestions?
Everybody has a past. It's what makes us who we are today.
You are his present and that's all that matters.
Leave the past where it belongs....in the past.
As far as getting over it, if you can't, it may be because you are young and inexperienced with men. It's your own insecurities. There is nothing your boyfriend can do to change his past. It's up to you to get past it and I have no suggestions on how to do that, other than to tell yourself over and over that it is unimportant to the relationship you two have now.
If it's in the past why does he still talk about the other girls that he has had sex with? It makes me feel like I have a lot to live up to, and the fact that he says these other girls were hot and pretty makes me feel low.
