    You're going to have to write in English. Your texting is impossible to read, and a mod is going to kick you off soon if this doesn't improve.

    Meanwhile, answer my question (in good English, like a teacher is checking it).

    And throw in your own two cents -- "I love her purple knit top! I want one like that!" or ""Is that a tattoo on her arm?" or some such. Make it a fun thing to pick apart (nicely) other females.

    At least he won't feel he has to be sneaky (if he is), and you two can make a game of it. And it will show him you aren't jealous.

    Try asking him not to do it in front of you, at the very least. Especially since you're pregnant it's easy to feel insecure. Tell him it will help you out if he at least shows you the decency of holding back this behavior when you're around. Tell him you don't need this extra stress.

    Edit: and this is just the way I deal with things, but don't be afraid that he's going to cheat on you. If he does, f##k him, you don't need him. If he doesn't, then that's great. But don't live in fear of it. You'll come off as more independent.

    It's a tough one. Have you sat down and told him exactly how you feel? One of the biggest problems in relationships is lack of communication and being too scared to say what's on your mind. Especially with a baby coming you need to make sure your relationship is on track. Also stress etc isn't good for you. If he truly loves you he will listen to what you say. You may find he has big insecurities of his own.

    Good luck.

    Its so hard. How old are you guys? You should consider maybe some relationahip counselling if you are sure that you want to continue in the relationship.

    You think it's OK to talk to your men friends and it's not OK for him to talk to women friends because he will SLEEP with them?
    That's not how it works. No one gets to make rules. You are not his parent and he is not your child. You tell him how you feel, and if he keeps doing what you don't like, you leave him, baby on the way or not. How is this 'love?'

    Alice, you don't 'let' an adult do something. The beginning of trust is seeing what is and being OK with it - and if not, then there's no trust. If you find out that he is too friendly with his female friends, you leave him, no matter how tough, and even if you have to go into a shelter again, with a baby. You can tell him that if he cheats that's what will happen, but don't do it while you are fighting. Just to let him know he doesn't have unconditional love.

    Yeah that's the prob ,his too friendly,I can't even bring him around my friends,he says he always been like that though,that his talkitive & likes to meet new people ,if I had known he was a flirt I would have not stayed that's how much I don't trust him,& what do you mean he doesn't have unconditional love? Ohh other ting I had sumwere to go ,he didn't& I stood by him& help him

    I meant that you need to let him know that even though you have a baby, you'll leave in a heartbeat if he strays.

    There's a difference between being talkative/meeting new people and flirting.

    No, a flirt is not a cheater. It means he's easy going around people and knows how to tease and put people, especially women, at ease.

    My dad was great with people and somewhat of a flirt. My mom was shy, terrified of people, and hid in the kitchen. I'm like my dad in that I have never met a person I didn't want to get to know better (even the dysfunctional ones), whereas my husband is happiest when everyone leaves him alone.

    Actually, those two types are opposites but also good matches.
