text: why do we want what we cant have? im in this situation...my boyfriend and i have been dating for about 8 months now. i really love him and i want to have the best relationship possible, but i keep hearing all of these rumors. like he's always flirting with all of these other girls. when i ask him about things that really bother me he jumps off and it always seems to come back as me believing everything i hear. he wants me to express my self and be real with him but when i do it just doesnt come out right. i want him to be faithful, but i just dont know if i can trust him. i know that he really cares about me,,, but i also think that there are some sideline females that im not 2 sure about. i really need to know the truth, but i dont want to lose him...what should i do? i think the best way is honestly asking him and speaking up about how you feel.....theres really no easy way to do this and its hard to not feel jealous. i hated showing signs of jealousy towards my boyfriend but sometimes you have to. i know that in my last relationship i didn't speak up and ask him about other girls and he ended up breaking up with me for this other girl that was always sticking around. i was so upset about it, and knew he always had a thing for her too. well the good news was they went out for 2 months and realized she wasn't the same way i was. broke up with her and now is coming back to me. weird isn't it?
