I understand why my boyfriend is annoyed but it was while we were talking?
So, while we were talking and it was clear we both liked eachother but, he was very delayed (months) in asking me out. Prior to us becoming "official" but getting serious, he would ask me if i was talking to other guys. I sent him screenshots to for reference. There was 2 dates i went on while were were talking and i was talking to one guy but we went to school and it was nothing more than just chatting. However, I put him in my phone as Nikki Crawford rather than nick c like I have it now. It wasn't a pet name idk why I did it but my boyfriend is mad. Thoughts?

Sharing screenshots of your convos with other guys was rubbing it in his face. The mature answer to "are you talking to other guys?" is "yeah, it's not like you're dating me so I'm keeping my options open". Trying to be possessive of people you're not even dating yet is a major red flag. Don't ignore it.
Tell him he needed to either sh*t or get off the pot.
Nothing is more annoying than a person who won’t commit and is clearly exploring their own options, but then gets mad if you’re exploring your options too.
Tell him that now that y’all are dating he doesn’t have to worry about that bcuz you’re dating him now so you are loyal to only him. Tell him if he wants to be mad at someone, be mad at himself for not asking you out sooner.

With that said, I’m not saying he’s a bad guy. He might just not understand the intellectual/philosophical CONCEPT here. So maybe you need to EXPLAIN this to him, slowly and logically.
If you explain all this to him and he still stays mad for more than a day or two, then you have a problem and maybe should break up with him. And of course let him know WHY you’re dumping him, so that he won’t make this stupid error again with other girls
I think he's very jealous. Jealousy is often caused by feeling insecure, which can be improved if you let him know that you are there and help him feel more confident. However, this can turn into a toxic relationship. You need to make it very clear that you have freewill and can do/behave as you want to, and he will not control your life
He hasn't got a leg to stand on here. Don't put up with this. You weren't dating, you weren't in a confirmation of exclusivity... he has NO GROUNDS for being annoyed at you at all. A guy who gives you grief over being a single gal when you ARE a single gal is a man who is going to give you trouble all the days you submit yourself for that sort of nonsense.
You were not created to be the miracle you are and on this planet for the purpose of not trying to make your bf mad. Refuse to be treated like this. He's either over the moon that you are his NOW.. or he needs to be history in your life.
