Lately my boyfriend and I have been getting along so-so it angers him that when he calls I am either not home or to far to hear the phone, he talls me that I better be here at a certain time because he hates waiting, and this is so weird because he is so sweet, but his emotional outbursts are a problem.

Dear Brandie,

Your boyfriend's issues are nothing more than trying to exert control. Many relationships that start out this way often lead to more controling behavior such as where you can go and who you can see. I would suggest that if you really want to stay in this relationship please go into counseling for both of you. He needs to understand that love is not controling but sharing in each other's lives. You might also need to set boundaries in this relationship for him to understand what is acceptable for you.

Since this is a very important issue to you I hope you will be able to resolve this in case this relationship leads to a marriage. Respect for each other is essential in any relationship for it to work.

I wish you the very best in this situation as you should not have to tolerate someone elses problems or insecurities.
