My boyfriend and I met about four months ago, and started dating three months ago. In the first month of our relationship, he got suspicious of a guy in my life, who is like a little brother to me. He reacted very distant and confused and hurt, until I explained to him the nature of our relationship. He was fine after that.
The next month, he came to my graduation ball and saw me with the guys (and girls)in my class, getting drunk and dancing together. He got SO angry with me thereafter, saying that I was acting badly and disrespecting him. He doesn't want me to hang out with them when there is alcohol. He shoved me away when I was trying to calm him down. I was scared. We later resolved it and I promised not to dance with the guys when I'm drunk. I was not dancing like a stripper. We were having shots and singing, and dancing in couples. He thought it were unacceptable. Is it?
Later that month, I told him that my class and I are going away for a weekend, after we write our final Masters examination. We are going to party. He was mad again, saying that I pretend that I'm not in a relationship, and that I should be behaving like a woman who is going to be married to him. He says I 'cheapen' the relationship by calling him my boyfriend, when he is my soulmate and future husband. He thinks I am a wild child, and that I need to curb my ways. He says I act like a 'student' (of which I am!). I am a virgin, I don't do drugs, and am going to be a doctor in a few months time. Yet he thinks I behave badly. He says he is going to now start going out with 'his' friends, who are female. He doesn't have any, and I am pretty much the only person he spends time with. He feels like I am the only one who makes him happy. He has admitted that he is lonely. I am a very social person, with a lot of responsibility with organising functions for varsity and the daily life of my peers. I have many friends, and am very loyal to the best friends.
I feel he is possessive. He says he feels he has to protect me from other people. He says he trusts me, but not anyone else. My boss is dating a girl who is my race, and my boyfriend feels that my boss might like me as well.
I am always honest and tell him what I'm doing all the time. I haven't lied to him, or treated him badly.Once I almost didn't tell him an ex sms'd me. I was so scared of the way he would react, but I thought to myself that I'm not a liar, so I'm going to tell him. I told him, and he kind of got mad.
I told him he needs to change, and be more accepting of who I am. He says he will. He kept at the good behaviour until today. He fought with me again, using the same traits he used the night of the graduation ball... Which means he hasn't changed in a month. So I told him that, and he says that that's whohe is, and that he is not going to change'. He also mentioned that he is giving me 'permission' to go away with my classmates, of which made me so mad when he said that. I told him it was wrong for him to say that.
I am abit confused about what I should do... I love him, and have met someone who is very close to being the one, except for this.. Help please :(
