Why does my boyfriend accuse me of cheating?
Did his ex cheat? He may simply be assuming all women will betray him.
He’s so possessive, and he wants me to stop seeing my friends.
Part of this depends on the friends you’re with. You might be able to mollify him by
inviting him along with your friends.
That kind of ruins the intent of girls’ night out.
What are you doing with the other girls? The movies are fine, but dancing with a group
of girls at a club can be a reason for him to worry you’re hooking up with other guys.
Or he could be paranoid. Though he hasn’t been violent.
He has a right to be upset if you’re going to dinner with another man, even if you say
he’s a friend. If you go out to dinner with a group of girls, he shouldn’t be jealous.
Could the accusations be a sign of jealousy?
Are you acting like you’re keeping your activities secret? Or doing things with a
work spouse?
What is a work spouse? I’m not even married to the guy accusing me of cheating.
A work spouse is when you’re super close to someone from work. If you’re staying
late at work to work with a guy, he’s not far off the mark.
So I can’t go to the Christmas party at work because he’s jealous.
No, but you should take him along.
And what if he acts all possessive? Or jealous of my coworkers?
Possessive can be loving, or it can be juvenile. But if he tells you to quit your job, stop
talking to friends or cut off your family, run like heck.
Why do you say that?
Because breaking up is when a crazy dude is most likely to get violent.
Or I could accuse him of cheating.
Did you ever see Great Gatsby? Guys expect her to be faithful but don’t always hold
themselves to the same standard.
If he can’t handle me going out, I will sleep with someone else. Mr. Smith and Mr.
Wesson.
Who are they?
Uh, they’re endorsed by the NRA.
