Question
Hi I'm Angela, I'm 39 single mother of one. I've been seeing my boyfriend for 8 months now. He doesn't like it when I have anything to do with male coworkers. Tells me he will never marry me if I still have male friends in my life. If I don't call or text everyday he gets really sensitive. If I want alone time at home or with friends he thinks I don't love him. When he drinks he blows up on me and tells me I don't make him feel important. He says I don't show a lot of affection and he's tired of being a part time boyfriend. He will cuss and makes me feel like everything is my fault. I started seeing him after 8 months after I had my heart broke by a cheater. I have been completely honest with him and wanting to take things slow. I have a hard time trusting and I am guarded. I've asked for patience and understanding. I spend just about every weekend with him. I am unable to give anymore time for him because I have responsibilities being a mother, work, house, etc.  I'm really very angry and I don't know if I should continue seeing him. Is he controlling or am I not affectionate enough???

Answer
What you just wrote to me, send that to him- he's controlling and he needs to know what you're going through.
If he reads this and finds it distasteful, then he's obviously not the right person for you- the right person would at least tell you he's sorry that he's been a jackass and try to make things better after this.
