I dont know what to do about this

My boyfriend of almost a year started being way too over protective. like the other day i wore a skirt to school and he flipped! he said he doesnt want me wearing shorts, skirts, tight jeans, or low cut shirts. i cant even hang out with my guys friend or be friends with ex boyfriends. i feel like hes being bossy and trying to tell me what to do. but i dont know what to do about this. i thought about leaving him but i cant. i tried telling him that theres nothing wrong with what i wear cuz if there was my mom WOULD NOT let me out of the house. then he said that i dont respect his feelings cuz i wear what i want any way...? i dont know what to do.....

First of all, you say you can't leave him. Why not? I'm not very good at giving relationship advice, but I'd explain to him that what I wear is my business and not his. Don't most guys like when we wear cute things around them? And I understand that he doesn't want other guys looking at you, but that's going to happen! They look at everybody! Just tell him that you're wearing these clothes for him and no one else. If he doen't understand or still tries to control you, he's not worth your time.

I'll talk to him i guess & we'll see what happens.

He said that he doesnt want anyone trying to take me away from him.

And they're trying to take you away from him... by you wearing skirts?

He needs to realize that, no matter what you wear, do, or say, there's still going to be the chance that other guys will check you out. It happens. He needs to put some faith in your ability to have control over your own actions... nobody is going to "take you away" unless you let it happen.

Although, from the sound of this boyfriend of yours, I can't say that that would necessarily be a bad thing.

^^Agree with Sib 100%

He needs to have trust in you, if not this relationship isn't going to work and you guys will be fighting over all these "wearing short skirts" kind of things problems.

I think the best thing you could say is that, even though all these other guys may be looking at you, you are with him and that he should be greatfull to have a partner who is desired by men. It should make him feel special.

I tell him theres nothing wrong with them looking at me. they're not the ones that are with me...you are. its not like i like any of them anyway. he has self esteem issues and its like he takes it out on me...?
