I don&#8217;t know what to do because it causes a lot of stress and now that he doesn&#8217;t text me calling me &#8216;baby&#8217; and other sweet stuff, I get upset.<\/p>\n<p>I know it was wrong but I logged into his Facebook without his knowledge. I know the password and I saw messages of him giving his number out and afterwards he deletes them.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand his attitude, out of the blue he tells me he doesn&#8217;t want to text me any sweet stuff anymore because he said just doesn&#8217;t feel like it.<\/p>\n<p>Am I being too clingy or is he doing wrong. I have been in bad relationships before and I just can&#8217;t distinguish right nor wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m highly confused and I just want us to get a long but it seems like he doesn&#8217;t put effort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephanie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>Dear Stephanie,<\/p>\n<p>I think you should give you boyfriend some breathing space. It appears as if you are choking him and he need some space to wiggle around.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that he has lied to you in the past I sense some major insecurity on your part.<\/p>\n<p>So you need to identify the roots of your insecurity and speak to your boyfriend about it. Then you need to start having confidence in yourself and confident that the relationship can actually work, despite rough patches in the past.<\/p>\n<p>You also need to learn to trust your boyfriend. Both of you are attracted to each other and love each other, so why would you want to snoop around or look for ways to catch your partner red handed. Learn to trust your partner, unless you have solid reasons to doubt him.<\/p>\n<p>Be an optimist and go out with your friends. It\u2019ll help you in two ways. One, you\u2019ll understand that no harm is really done to a relationship by spending time with friends. Two, if you do exchange a few glances with someone else, you\u2019re not really cheating on your partner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
