Well, a girl does need some freedom and independence.
When she is away,do you know where she is?
When she hangs out with guys you don’t know, are this her friends?
Do you expect her to only spend time with you and not with her friends?
Does she talk about what she does when she’s not near you, or about her friends?
well she visits her dad during breaks from scholl for about a week. and shes one of those people that have a lot of guy friends. she can spend time with her girlfriends but i dont like it when she actually hangs out with guys. she can talk to them at school or whatever but not do stuff with them. we never had this problem before, but now she thinks that she can hang out with some 19 year old dude
ok that isnt even controlling……there is something wrong with her….im sorry but i would be greatful to have a bf that gets worried about me
If she has a lot of guy friends then you shouldn’t look to deep into their motives. If you are worried she might flirt with her or the other way around, go talk to them, assure yourself. Ask your girlfriend to involve you with her friends?
Also, how old are you yourself?
Girls hate clingy guys. If you want to keep her around, you’ll have to stop being the guy that acts that way. Of course you don’t want her hanging out with other dudes, for obvious reasons. Usually that does mean something. But acting like it will just drive her away more. It may be an innocent friendship, might not be. Either way if you act jealous, she’s out. Work on gettingher more interested in you, that way she’ll be around more. And go get some female friends, dont cheat, just get some female friends.
well her dads house is in phoenix and i live 2 hours away so i can’t meet the dude. i kinda understand how i may be clingy, but i think i have to right to worry about those things. we’re taking a break right now so i can “change” i dont wanna break with her, she means too much to me
Or save yourself the drama and do what littlenick says. Its good advice.

If she’s hanging out with guys you don’t know, maybe she’s trying to tell you something and you don’t get the hint. I would break up with her and let her go on her merry own way. You’re not clingy, you’re just like any normal boyfriend who wants his girlfriend to be with him. Granted, you don’t have to know every guy she knows, but why would she want to hang out with a lot of guys you and her don’t know together. Ummmmmm. Weird.Take your cue and run for the hills. Give her her walking papers.
I agree… My ex girlfriend did this to me right before she cheated on me.
She didn’t even think there was anything wrong with it… She said if she is attracted to a guy she is not going to ignore him because how will she ever know if he was better than me if she didn’t try…. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
no offense but your girl was messed up. if my girl was like that i would leave her, but mine is just friends with them. i just don’t trust the dudes, i’m trying to just her because she trust me
you know what littlenick, dont be saying things like that. i think you’re just saying that because some ***** cheated on you and now you’re just messed up. you don’t know me or my girl so don’t be saying **** like that. my girl isn’t like FUBARs girl, she hates going to her dads and she’s upset because i dont let her talk to the only friend she has. when she is home, she doesn’t hang out with other guys just me. i’m just talking about when she is away at her dads. personally i think she is over reacting to me being protective. he parents told her to take a break with me and her parents hate me. i’m just trying to make this work because i love the chick

I honestly think you’re just being pathetic and are desperate for a relationship.
Agreed, and Im not being an a$$, I’ve been that guy before and can recognize it.
The truth may hurt bro, but you asked.

For all I knew my girl was in love with me. I thought she really was, just like you think your girl would do nothing to hurt you…. I’m not saying your girl is like this, I’m just saying watch out.
If you trusted your girl and didn’t think she would do anything behind your back you wouldn’t be here right now.
i know, its me with the problem i believe. personally what you’ve said has convinced be to find someone else who is better, but i’m just trying to find a way to make this work. i’m sorry for reacting to you like that you just said some hurtful things. but you’re right, we’ve been together for almost a year and i think we can get through this
I don’t know if you are talking about me, but I said nothing that would offend you. I was trying to give you a different aspect of your situation, trying to help you decide how you want to move ahead.
You said some pretty disrespectful things to me when all I was trying to do is give you another view of your situation. Most everyone watches out for each other here (help), Littlenick and Brad are just trying to watch my back.
I was going out for little more than a year before my girl decides she wants to try other guys while she is still with me…. You don’t think your girl is attracted to these guys at all? You wouldn’t know, you’re not always with her.
You’re not the problem man, if your girl wanted these guys to know about you she would have invited you to hang with them.
Again, I could be totally wrong, but that’s just my view.
i was talking about littlenick but i’m aplogizing to him and you for what i said. i understand what you’re coming from and i appreciate you helping me. she doesn’t hang out with guys regulary, her mom is realy over protective and can’t really even the house. we’re in high school by the way. she would invite me, but i can’t go to her dads with her. i think i’m just not explaining the situation right. but again im sorry for saying hurtful things to you, when ppl say things like that about me or my girl i just get really defensive.
Perfect example littlenick.
Chuc, love blinds you my friend. You don’t see the bad in her, you let her convince you that you’re the wrong one. You’re not clingy, the type of stuff you are worrying about is normal. She is giving you a reason to take a break so she can be with another guy…. She’s confused, she doesn’t know if she loves you… She thinks she can put you on hold while she takes another guy out for a ride.
Either way, you’re not going to acknowledge anything we say because you are blinded. This is one of those things you have to experience on your own.
Just my little input. You should never have to change yourself for someone. There will be a person (or eight) out there that likes you for exactly who you are and would never want you to change. That is the person you should be with.
Im pretty much in this situation myself… But i laid down the ******* law. My girlfriend thought it was fine to go off partying for the evening with another guy. I told her she was a cheeky mother ******* and that she shouldnt even think of doing that. My girlfriend was a slag shes slep with almost 20 people so ive had a hard job taming her. I love her to bits and were going on 5 months now, but she needs to know ground rules if she wants a stable relationship. If not. End this **** now my friend.
Dump her… she’s playing games… not to mention fire. She wants you but she wants to ‘’play the field'’, too… She’s NOT made of cloth that is trustworthy. Just put up your boundary (LOTS of books “out there” on RELATIONSHIP BOUNDARIES. She’s going to break your heart. There’s NO taming her. She has to make the decision for herself. If she wants a “nice guy”… she NEEDS to act like a “nice gal”… a lady….. She has “oats” that OBVIOUSLY .. STILL .. need to be sewn….
mayby you guys should try talking about this with your actual girlfriend instead of all these random poeple…
dude believe me ive been down this road many times. Now i don’t know her personally but from what im reading it sounds to me like she is exploring her options. If she was a completely trustworthy girlfriend then she definately wouldn’t be doing this. she told you she wanted a break because she is intending on doing something with one of these guys and doesn’t want to tell herself she cheated. Its a classic tactic.
Just dump her and find someone else, if she asks questions just tell her straight up you can’t trust someone who is putting me on break and hanging out with all these other guys.
I mean yeah, you love her and all but she probably just wants you to make herself feel loved, thats also happened to me before as well.
good luck man, if she changes then give her another shot but if she keeps it up best hurt yourself now then wait until you find out that she is ******* someone else man.
Post a reply .. um id be way over with that ****, shes not trustworthy at all
**** the *****
