Well I asked a a question about my boyfriend not being jealous. Well that all of a sudden has changed and now he's really jealous. Seriously I can't stand him anymore and like just a minute ago he called me yelling because I hugged my friend who happened to be a guy because his girlfriend just broke up with him and my boyfriend made a big deal about it...
Anyways I called him up to ask for advice on this problem for my guy friend and he totally goes off on me, he's back to his old ways again saying that I'm always wrong and that I'm a hypocrite and that he doesn't even know why he's with me, other than he loves me and that's when he hangs up the phone leaving me in tears...
Then he calls me crying and says he didn't mean it and he loves me and he doesn't wanna lose me and that he wishes he could take it all back but I told him that I'll have to think about it, because all it seems like I'm doing now days is forgiving him so do you think I should forgive him???? P.S. I love him more than anyone...
Meangirl101, your man is just being a man. Him along with all other men do not think through all of our actions. We like to tell it like it is and that is where the miscommunication begins. We usually see the damage after it is done.
From a guys point of view he is acting normal, we are territorial and we do not like to see other men hanging onto our women whether their your best friend or not. We are simply, afraid to lose our women. So yes, forgive him and work through it.
Of course, everyone can get emotionally overwhelmed and overreact (you girls are expert in that). Just tell him "let's forget about this whole thing", be in good terms with each other again and maybe go out together for dinner.
It's your decision if you decide to forgive him or not, but if you do you need to have a talk with him about this issue so that things can get better between you two. You need to sit down with him face-to-face and ask him what is really bothering him, and I'm sure it's not the fact that you hugged your friend.
For some reason he seems insecure about losing you and there has to be an explanation for that whether it be a past relationship or his own issues with your relationship. Either way you need to find out what his concerns really are and deal with those and assure him of your feelings for him. Hopefully after talking openly and honestly you guys can move past his jealousy issues.
Only you can decide weather or not you can forgive him. Girl you gotta open up to him, let him know that he is being way out of control and tell him how you feel. Also ask him how he feels and why it bothers him so much that you have male friends. It could be a past issue he is still dealing with but talk to him about it. If he doesn't change you gotta be the one to decide if you want to be left in tears and feeling horrible for his twisted insecurities so that you just eventually grow accustomed to that and become just like him, just as insecure and jealous? Because your self esteem will get so low that's what will happen..So like I said open up about it without fighting or being smart about certain things, just be very nice and open. Ready to talk and listen without letting it turn into an argument, try to get to the bottom of it. If you love him that much I'm sure he loves you and it's worth at least trying regardless of what you think is going to happen or how you think he is going to respond.... Go for it girl and keep your head up!
You should forgive him because of the simple fact that you love him. But make sure he knows and understands how you feel about how all you are doing now is forgiving him. And if things don't change and he continues to overreact about little things then maybe then it will be time to consider taking a break. Hope things work out.
