i don't really know what to write about on here, and knowing that none of you know me personally, i'll say anything that's on my mind. i'm 17 years old; a senior, and i have almost no problems at all.. one thing that has been bothering me though, is that my boyfriend of 4 years is getting very controlling of me. he's not hitting me or anything like that, but he's just acting weird. he doesnt let me go out that much. and when i do, he gets mad at me, and accuses me of cheating. i'll admit, i've cheated on him once, and he knows about it, and it was only a kiss; i guess i can understand. but that was when we first met, about a month or two into our relationship. i haven't done it since and i never will, but he doesnt seem to get it. i've been trying my hardest to be a good girlfriend. i don't go out, i've stopped drinking and smoking [which is one of the positives about our relationship], and i've even stopped talking to boys. his insecurity has driven me, honestly, to the brink of insanity. i dont know what to do about him anymore, so now that there are rules for me, i've given him the same ones. he isnt allowed to talk to girls, party, drink, smoke, or hang out with his friends. it's cute being just us, but i feel like it's taking a toll on our tempers and feelings towards eachother. now that there are "rules" there's the constant "check-up" to see if either one of us has broken them. i dont know, i think it's just me facing this problem, and i hope it is. i dont want things to change between me and him, but i know if i do, he'll start accusing me more and more.



Welcome to Pro U!
Before I really get into the content of your blog I'd just like to mention that at Pro U we stress good grammar and correct spelling. That's not to say that you have to be perfect, but proper punctuation/capitalization/spelling /etc are really encouraged.
I think you should talk to your boyfriend about what is bothering you. If you two can't sit down and talk after four years of being together, then you need to work on that. Why don't you invite him to come with you when you want to get out? Show him you aren't being sneaky or anything. If he doesn't trust you, you really need to sit down and reassess your relationship with him.
Maybe you should reassure him of your affection for him? Cook him dinner or make him a present. Something to just reaffirm your affection. Maybe you've been unconsciously distant?
You should definitely take off the "rules" you gave him. You are just breeding animosity between yourselves if you keep up the 'eye for an eye' rule giving. Show him that you trust him.
Basically, you need to communicate with him.
And if he continues to try to control you, I think it may be time to break up with him. No person has the authority to control another person. No matter what their relationship. Maybe you just need a break from each other.
I hope I helped!
