Need advice what I should do with a boyfriend who became obsessive and over bearing?
I have been with this guy on and off for 6 years, the last 3 steady. Over the last 7 months he has been smothering me, following me, paranoid that I am cheating and when he is around I feel like I can not breathe. For the record, I have never ever cheated on anyone and never plan on it. He has become completely paranoid and controlling and I can not deal with him. I am a very confident and strong female and do not want someone trying to control me, following me and making up weird accusations. But all his behavior has completely changed my feelings for him, in a negative way. So my question is, do I stay and see if he goes back to being normal and try to mend feelings or do I get out of it before if gets worse?

Please be very careful getting out of this situation. He sounds like an abuser waiting to happen. In fact, this is classic textbook behavior of abusers. I hope you do not live with him. You need to get out as soon as possible, but people like this will often go off the deep end when their victim tries to leave, either by ramping up the abuser or abusing themselves. If I knew where you lived, I would help you find local resources to help you get out of this situation. Perhaps you can talk to someone at a local women's shelter to get some practical advice. Please be careful.

It's possible he's cheating on you, actually. Because people who cheat, tend not to trust other people for cheating on them. I've seen it too many times with friends that this happened too. You can just tell him to back off or you'll break up with him, and see how he responds. But I don't trust him. He's up to something. So just prepare yourself for getting out soon.
