I have relationship problems, and it's tearing me up inside. I need help/advice, please.?

Okay. So, here is how the story goes. I have been dating my girlfriend for about 7 months now and things are starting to go down hill and I think it's all my fault. I flip out over little things too easily and I think I'm alittle controlling. I just can't help it. Like for example, She went on a trip with her mom outta town to visit her moms boyfriend and she talked to me for like a total of 5 or 10 minutes, in a span of about 3 day. I got so mad! I mean, she had little service but she did have internet. Should I have gotten mad? Another example is, whenever she doesn't have my name like in her status or on myspace and what not, i question her about it and ask her to put me there. I know it's controlling, i just can't help it. I'm paranoid that by not having my name there, the door is open for anyone to try and take my place. There are many other examples of things i get mad at so easily (which is my predominate problem btw) like, when she says iloveyou or iloveu, instead of i love you. To me, I love you means alot and the whole thing should be spelled out, see controlling =/ and I get aggravated when she puts boys in her top friends (i usually don't say anything about that though) I even majorly flipped out when she left a picture comment on one of her friends pictures that said "lucky" and some other girl-ish things, where the friend was standing beside a guy that everyone was attracted too, but he was too old for my girlfriend. I don't wanna be this way. I don't want to lose this girl, I love her more than my own life. I swear the only person that loves me more than this girl, is god. My friends are douchebags and my parents don't really care about me, she is the only one who really cares about me. I need her. I know she doesn't like this and I'm not so serious that I need counseling or anything, I just need a way to deal with my problem. If somebody could please give me some advice to help me control my impulses of anger, aggravation, paranoia, and control, I would really appreciate it.

That wasn't everything by the way, I have been this way over other things as well.

Btw, we are teenagers. I'm 16, she is 15. Please don't tell me to scope out other "fish in the sea" either. I've found the person I want to be with for the rest of my life and I'm willing to change for her. Age doesn't mean a thing, it's just a number.

Update:

And she does love me too. I know she does. It's nothing uber major, I just need some advice to give her a better boyfriend.

Update 2:

Hey, Baron Von whatsyourface, I asked for adive. Not for you to call me names.

Update 3:

And the cussing was uncalled for too. Have some respect.

    Well, actually I think that you are a little young to be worrying like that over a girl, but I know what it feels like having a girl in you life that you totally care about.

    So dude, besides being controlling you are showing a lot of insecurity, for me it seems like you got a problem with self-stem, which is something that you should work on out of a relationship, but if you really don't wanna loose this girl, you have to behave man, every time you show this behavior you're showing how insecure you feel about your self, and that's a major turn off for girls, so work on your self-stem and then work on your relationship.

    And other thing forget about those Facebook Myspace things, that's like a meaningless thing dude, there are bigger and more important things in a relationship than a lousy status

    I feel you on this ...honestly you are YOUNG! Im 19 my girl is 20 We still young control leads to abuse either emotional physical financial etc. Since you're young that means you need to grow . A tree can't grow in the shade and you are being shade/NIGHTTIME lights out BLACKOUT really.

    My girl was clingy I sortve am. online just have her put in a relationship or if it makes you both happy go out have fun take pics and put a picture as a default. At this age you're off to a bad start already but early enough to fix it. I would say counseling but they'll probably say move on and you prob wouldn't want to hear that. Yea out of 3days but keep in mind she is w/family no one else that is what texting is for and don't over do it say good morning or what ever and actually I bet if you give her space and find something positive to do with your time and relief anger shell be happier and you'll both be stronger you need to relax bro and realize that even tho age aint nothing but a number you both haven't experienced the world Clubs, College parties, seeing different cities the way you are now is saying don't enjoy life if you love her ya'll can enjoy life all that tie me down stuff is for when you've done it all in life like enjoyment wise. take everything day by day before you end up alone

    Wow...ok...so I'm in a similar situation with a guy just like you. And I don't mean that in a bad way. The thing is he is also controlling, jealous, and gets mad very easily. I also can be like this too at times, but not on the level that he is. I know its hard for you, but you just have to trust her...unless she gives you a reason not to. If you really love her, and it sounds like you do, focus on her feelings. If you get mad about something, take some time and think it through..it may not be as bad as you initially thought. Then calmly ask her about it and give her time to explain. If there's something that really bothers you, then talk to her about it and see if a compromise can be made.

    You can't do much but condition yourself to be less controlling, jealous, paranoid and worried.

    Let her know you care about her and want to be less controlling, and ask her to understand so she knows you care enough to change.

    i was kinda in your shoes and wish someone would have come to me and i could have fixed it. I do not know if i can get that chance.

    i agree with you, age is just a number. Anyone who says your too young you should not listen to. You know whats best for you.

    in terms of your problem. Dude, just chill. This girl loves you. she does not cheat on you, she does not avoid you. just relax. be in love with her. do not get on her case because no matter what she does love you

    You don't need to find other fish, she does. Lolol..

    SRSLY, you need to trust her. Why're you with someone who you don't even trust to look at a photo of another man without immeidately planning on banging him?

    And all that crap related to the Internet? Get over it. That **** is meaningless. ****ing IMs, MySpace, FB, all that **** is the bane of relationships (at least for crazy jealous melon thumpers like you).
