Umm, okay... I'm having boyfriend trouble. We've been together two years on and off. I tried everything in this relationship to keep it going; but it's so hard. He's so jealous. He doesn't trust me. Not a bit. I've been faithful and all. I just don't know what to do, and I don't want to let two years of being together go to waste.

Whats it Mean ?

  • NanaFreeBeinqq, everyone experiences twinges of jealousy now and then. Having a jealous boyfriend is not unheard of; however, it sounds like no matter what you do or not do, your boyfriend is still very jealous.
  • Now is a good time for you to learn that you can't do all the work in a relationship and expect it to last. TWO people are involved in it! You get kudos for giving it your all; but it may not change the outcome unless your boyfriend is willing to do his part, too.
  • Time is such a precious commodity. No one wants to feel that they've wasted the time they've invested in a relationship.
  • Please consider the energy you may be wasting trying to make a relationship work that will probably not get any better without investment on his part. The sad part is that if you remain in this relationship and still work just as hard as you are, you may eventually become bitter and resentful. You really don't want to live life feeling that way.
  • Also know that guys this age that display that much jealousy very often grow up to be abusive men. You will never deserve to be abused!
  • You may want to consider cutting your losses now and enjoy relationships where you don't have to work so hard. Love is not meant to be so painful!
  • You don't want to get in the habit of feeling like it's up to you to have to do everything to keep a relationship together. Please consider talking to a trusted adult about this situation.
