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.

This man has no patience and wants you to sit by the phone waiting for his call while he does his life. Doesn't that sound strange to you?

Relationships have accountability, but this is extreme. Getting mad at someone for not being there when they call is called controlling. If people have it one area, they have it in others. I think he has very limited view of females and probably other people as well. I also had to work when someone promises something that many other things can come into their day that effect the promise they made to me, and I used to think that no matter what, they better do what they promised. This is called my expectations of other people. When I expect some one to be there when I call, I am going to be wrong each and every time. Watch out for this and consider if you want this in your life and are willing to give up your space to make him feel better. I think it is time to have a serious talk with this young man and if he fires off on you, then end it until he is able to keep his emotions under control. Good luck, John
