Could this be the end of our relationship?

I'm a senior in high school and I've had a beautiful relationship with my boyfriend for about 8 months now. Going on 9 In early December, I started noticing some new characteristics about him that I had either never recognized before, or they were never there until that particular time. He seems possessive- if possessive means yelling at me when I had told him a boy friend at school bought me lunch because I had forgotten money, calling me a whore, and then getting angry about having boy friend's yearbook pictures on my bulletin board. I don't go out to parties because I don't want him to get mad, yet he goes out when he wants to. The thing is, after he gets his temper, he always apologizes and says he doesn't think before he speaks, so I always sort of brush it off like it never happend. It's become consistent though and I'm devestated because the one I thought I'd be with forever is acting this way..and I don't want to be alone or break up with him and regret it..what should I do

This has potential Lifetime movie written all over it. It's only going to get worse, hon. It's time to move on and break up with him. Don't give him a chance to sweet talk you into staying with him and don't be alone with him once you tell him it's over. You're putting yourself in a very dangerous situation.

he was extremly jealous

and when i talked to him about it

he made me feel like a whore

cause he would be like

but you talk to many other guys

and see where that leads you

but for him to yell at you and call you a whore

run - as fast as you can!!!! do not settle for being treated this way! you are way too young. these are all warning signs of worse things to come.

Could this be the end of our relationship?

I think if he is calling you a whore then he is not respecting you and if he don't want you going out then he shouldn't go out. Don't be afraid to be alone u are young and you'll find love again.

Could this be the end of our relationship?

These aren't good signs.

Some men can have a pattern of being controlling like this, and when you don't act up to their "standards" they blow up and say cruel things.

Then, they say I'm sorry, and expect you to forgive them for being this way.

This is a controlling device. He may not realize what he is doing, but he is manipulating you in order to assuage his own insecurities and anger.

I think you should sit down and have a heart-to-heart with him, and tell him that you care for him, you don't want to break up, but that you feel his behavior is unwholesome and unhealthy and that is not what you want in a guy.

No more yelling, no more insecure possessiveness, no more trying to live your life for you.

Maybe he needs a wake-up call, someone to place a mirror to his face so he can see what he is doing and that it is wrong.

Apologies are fine, but how many of them do you have to hear?

I know you don't want to be alone and you care for him, but this is a matter of your own self-respect, isn't it?

Not all guys are like this. If he can't change, you are the one who makes the decisions in your life, aren't you? No one else. I'd give him one more chance, and if he blows that, he doesn't respect you.

Good luck.
