    My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. We’ve had a few breakups. During one of our breakups, he went on a date with a woman he met on an online dating site. While we were back together, he spent a day with this woman and their respective kids and had them back to his place where he cooked dinner for them. Now he WAS open with me and told me she was there, however I got furious and ended the relationship. I was not happy about the situation, and he saw nothing wrong with it. We agreed to disagree, got back together and went on with our relationship. It has been 6 months since this has happened. I know that he has kept in touch with her and I have accpeted that (she is now also in a relationship with someone), however I recently found out that they now talk (via msn/texts) every day. The recent upset is when she texted my boyfriend at 10pm on a saturday night with relationship issues with her new beau. I again got upset and voiced my opinion. I clearly stated that it’s not a matter of trust. I trust my boyfriend, I stated to him that I am not comfortable with his relationship with this friend, due to the circumstances of how they met and the fact that we broke up because of her. I said didn’t want him to stop communicatig with this woman, I just want him to understand why I have an issue with it. He accused me of being jealous and told me I have trust issues and we had a very big arguement about it. He asked me to leave and advised that HE needs some time!

    He has other woman friendships that I have no issues with. I belive it’s ok to have friends of the opposite sex. I do also. But I think this situation is different.
    am I justified in my conerns? and is he wrong for accusing me of jealousy and not being supportive of my concerns?

    Your concerns are justified, but he’s also correct that you’re jealous — however, a boyfriend who was more interested in making this work would try to bring you on board and invite you to meet up with his “new friend” 😕 or else decide that friendship was less important than your security — providing you don’t go crazy every time he has a female friend who’s just that — a friend.

    It sounds like the two of you have a relationship that has more drama than peace in it, since you write that you broke up several times in a year and a half, and now, he’s basically asking for another break. 🙄

    It doesn’t sound like he’s as committed to you as a boyfriend who wants to marry you or be involved in a healthy long term relationship would be. Rather than strengthen intimacy between the two of you, he’s put this friendship with an ex-girlfriend first. Since you haven’t given me any reason to believe you’re an overly jealous person, I think you can do better than the relationship you have with him. 😳 This new break he’s imposing may be just the excuse you need to move on and find someone with whom there aren’t so many dramatic breaks or power plays.

    I hope that helps — and that you’ll join me on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
