LOVE?

If your boyfriend loves you too much to the extend that he gets too emotional, too mushy and gooey, over-protective that you can't breathe, wants to know every moves that you felt chained and trapped, demand explaination or sulk if you tell him off, how do yo you go about telling him ENOUGH and its making you sick?

Straight up and truthful, to sustain a relationship like that is very hard work on your part, have him understand the excessive behaviour is essentially ruining the relationship. While he does love you, and loves you enough to want to know what you’re doing if he thinks by keeping tight controls on you he’ll keep you, he’s wrong. He need respect as a person who has the free will to do and be anywhere you wish at any given moment.

Just wanted to let you know that Eveavion (the young lady who posed this question) passed away early this morning. She had chronic leukemia and had received a bone marrow transplant on Monday, October 9th. She had slipped into a coma but recovered from it only to catch pneumonia two days ago. It was too much for her weakened system. My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew her.

Thank you, lackingstyle. Not only have I seen these poor women in the E.R. (more times than I care to think about), I have also had 3 friends who were in abusive marriages. All three started with a guy who had control issues. Some guys don't get it...control is not love!

Hon, this is not love...this is control. Your boyfriend has control issues and you need to run as fast and as hard as you can in the opposite direction! Anytime a significant other has to know where you are every minute of the day and what you are doing, it is control. Control usually turns into abuse. Please, get out now. I have seen so many women go through this.

There's also that angle to consider, I agree with what you're saying Ilse 100%.

Thank you. Points taken. The problem why I can't run, much as I want to is because he converted to Islam just so he could marry me (he's English and I'm Asian). When I told him not to convert but to think things over or at least let us get along a little bit more, he accused me of looking for excuses so as not to be with him. He has arranged for job interviews in my country so he could be here and I'm at a loss now. I wish I could run as fast too.

Sweetie, until that wedding ring is on your finger, you owe him nothing! Please, don't marry him and spend your lifetime regretting it. Life is SO short but even that short life can seem endless if we are miserable. It isn't worth is...we all deserve happiness...YOU deserve happiness. It will be easier to "run" now than it will be if you marry him.

Sweetie...get out now...that's how it starts..then before you know it it becomes abusive control...Leave him now while you have the chance..Don't become a statistic..in Phoenix..there is a woman killed by a spouse or boyfriend every four days...Don't become one on them!

Hunny get out now! It does not matter what he has done for you, even if the ring were on your finger right now and the vows said you owe him NOTHING if he can not be a real man to you! It is controll, and abuse! If you do not get out now it only gets harder to do so as times passes, believe me!

As I previously stated, there's not much to add to this discussion. I'm in complete agreement with bhchy and baileysgurl2005. Save your life and your happiness by getting out now. This is nothing but control that will turn into abuse!

Oh my gosh it sounds like your dating my ex hahaha. I know what your going through. At first when he cried i felt sorry for him but after a while it just made me angry! Every little thing would make him cry and he wouldnt go anywhere without me. In the end i had to leave. You can only be suffocated so long.

Oh my goodness! Thats terrible! I didnt even know her but I have tears pouring down my face. The bizarre thing is that right before you posted that I was wondering how she was! She isnt in pain anymore and is in a much happier place. More needs to be done to find a cure for cancer...

This has got me thinking... Wouldnt it be great if when Mylot does their changes, we could have a discussion as a tribute to Eveavion and all the money raised for the posts gets donated to 'The Cancer Council' or whatever the foundation is called in your country! It could be an ongoing general discussion kind of thing so more and more money is raised!

Just tell him. I was in the same situation with my bf and I was very upfront and blunt about it. He backed off a little and I am much happier. He may be feeling a little insecure about something. Try to determine what it is and assuage his fears. My advice may be completely off target for your situation, take it or leave, as you will.
• Malaysia

Thank you bhbirdie6. He is insecure because his ex-wife eloped with another man - I'm not sure if she fell out of love or she was escaping from his wrath.At the moment, I cannot address the issue because he is hyper-sensitive and I am too sickly to argue with him. Hopefully, when I get a transplant, and be strong again, I would apply all your advices on this site.

I know he does but surely there is a limit. He adds pressure and stress on my already sickly self, that I sometimes felt like not going through the transplant. I've been sleeping alot more now than I used to and the doctors thought its due to personal stress. When I told him this and that he is causing all the stress, he said its because I am unwell. He even wants to know what dress I wore daily, and what time I sleep and wake up. Who call and who spoke to me or write to me. If he sends me flowers, I'm supposed to describe each flower I received when he calls from England. He wants me to rest yet he wakes me up at odd hours with phone calls and sms's. I would rather die of my disease than be awake for him, bhbirdie6. I'm just so tired of it all. I'm sorry this have to be displayed on this page. I just needed friends to talk to other than him. I just want the real world other than him, or I'll go crazy!!!!At least here, I can have strangers to chat with, without him knowing about it. I sometimes felt like he's watching me all the time. I'm in Asia and he is in England, yet he knew when I go online, and he'll ask why I'm not chatting with him if I'm online. I've got to juggle between chatting with him online and writing to you guys, if I need a friend (other than him) to talk to. If I switch off everything, he would call my brothers or my mum. I can't back off too because I've got to convince my mum and sibblings and that's like too much for me to go through too. I'm sorry for being so lengthy here. Just need to let go.....I hope you understand.

The fact that your sick may also be adding to his protectiveness. You mentioned a transplant, that seems pretty serious. He may just be very concerned for you and this is his way of showing that he loves you.

Thank you Anipal and sorry for the late reply. Ilse72 is a dear. She's Eve's internet friend. I am Eve's housemate and bestfriend. I'm asked to reply all her mails until her sister Adibah got over her grief. I just registered on myLot myself and am using Eve's computer for now. Just want to thank you for your kind thoughts and well wishes. May God bless you.

you could either wait until you lose your temper and yell it at him but telling him calmly would probably be best.

Get out of this relationship really quick! He won't change, and you'll get even sicker of this kind of behavior. Quit while you're ahead and find a less-obsessive guy.

Neither...we became friends after I answered this question. I am old enough to have been Eve's mother. We started emailing and then when she got hospitalized, she asked her best friend, Adriana, to keep me posted on her condition. Adry (Adriana) informed me of Eve's passing. This beautiful young lady, Eve, and her friend, Adry, have touched me deeply and my life is richer for it. I will miss Eve and hope that Adry and I will have many years of friendship ahead of us.

First of all it is understood that it need not really be that the person really loves you but he is not sure of your love. He might be doubtful whether you would cheat him and he is trying to show you how much he loves you. Love is based on trust and trust only...........
