Question
My girlfriend lied to me twice about seeing her ex-boyfriend, in which I caught her and I still took her back. I am finding it so difficult to trust her. Now she lost all her female friends, and all her friends are now guys, which call her constantly. I don't like that she has all these guy friends and I keep telling her to choose me or them and I can't trust her. I get so angry that my temper is becoming violent and is leading to physical alterations with her. What do I do and should I stay in such a relationship?
Answer
No, you should definitely not stay in this relationship. You cannot trust her and the relationship has become physically violent. These "physical altercations" are potentially very dangerous because someone could get seriously hurt and you could have a very serious problem with the law. It is time to break off this unhealthy relationship and find a girlfriend you can trust. If you cannot break if off, then you need to get some counseling to help you do this and get a gripe on your violent temper which could give you problems in other relationships as well.
