rocky road

hiya. Iv been with my boyfriend about 10 months now and we basically coming to a head. Hes very protective and gets quite emotional about things, like when i go out hes constantly checking if im ok and what im doing and who im with etc.
I started uni this time and now hes stressed like never before. I went to this flat dinner thing last night and i was getting really horrible messages off him because he says he cant trust me and hes obsessed that im guna find someone new when im out. He has no reason not to trust me though and i love him too much to be as stupid as that!
Today wer at loggerheads, and hes preposing to split up! i just dont understand him. I NEVER go out, i stay in. I dont drink and i certainly dont cheat.
what should i do, because i dont understand what iv done wrong!

Having a life is nothing to be ashamed, tell him to get his act together or you will find someone else. That should scare him, try get him to meet your friends so he is less insecure or intimidated by them as he will know what to expect when your out.

You are not a prisoner and if you didn't spend time apart then life would be dull and boring, not healthy to spend you whole time with your partner.

He knows exactly who i go out with cos he knows them too. I would never impose on him though because its wrong - unless it was justified for doing so.
im so down about it though cos i dont want to lose him cos i went out for a few hours!

Talk to him and explain how your feeling, don't argue as insults are being thrown and feelings are not discussed. Explain you like to see your friends, encourage him to see his. I'm not saying invite him all the time but maybe once a month. Tell him you don't want to lose him and what you want to achieve from the relationship.

Not worth it. Tell him to grow up and if it happens again dump him and find someone new.

the whole point of a relationship is that both people grow - if hes restricting your freedom it dosnt sound like a healthy relationship to me - tallk to him calmly and explain that you have a life if that dosnt work- dump him - hes obviously too narrow minded.
