Question
I am in a relationship where my boyfriend is very jealous all the time. He does not ever want me going out and controls me a lot. I care about him so much. He is not a bad guy at all, but he's never happy for me or anything. Advice?
Answer
He may not be a bad guy, but he is emotionally abusive and you deserve someone who is happy for you, respects you and does not control you. Check out the "ABCs of Healthy Relationships" for more information and some resources:
