How to have a better relationship.
Things have gotten like a million times better than what they used to be. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 1/2 years. But he just doesn't like to kiss and hold hands and stuff and that is a big problem for me. He also tries to control me too much. I guess I kind of do the same to him but not as bad and he always has some kind of reason for it all. I just want to know how to change it. Like its OK for him to have friends but I can't have friends because... whatever the reason. And he thinks he's being fair and really he's not. Honestly, I don't want friends anyway. But knowing that if I did have them, he would get all mad about it just really makes me feel bad. But all I have is him. I could understand if he didn't want me to have friends that are guys. But when he doesn't even let me have female friends, that's pretty bad. According to him just about every female is a slut and if I hang out with them then I will become one and end up cheating on him but all he does with his friends is talk about cars and stuff so its OK for him to have them. I know his friends do drugs. How do I know they won't get him to do it? He says he can say no and I cant. But he's said before that they got him to do stuff like that. And if I bring that up all I hear is "thats not as bad as some of the stuff youve done"
And for the holding hands and stuff... he always says that he wants to and we can from now on, then later he changes his mind and says that he only said that because... whatever... he didn't want to hurt my feelings, or he was just lying. etc.
Those are I guess the main problems. And I really think it can be fixed some how. I know its not worth giving up on. So what is it you think I need to do? The only good thing is that if it weren't for him, I would probably be on drugs right now. But he tries to control me, like I said, and he won't let me do those things so I don't do them.
ANd its like he's afraid to say nice things to me sometimes. He won't admit he thinks I'm hot or anything.
