Thanks for posting that, jennie. I have to wonder, though, how many people in a relationship don't find something in that list that applies to them? I found several. I'm stuck in my situation, though.

Kayle, I have to tell you, I do think your boyfriend sounds abusive and immature. Your family may be too involved in your relationships and maybe your life, or they may be involved just enough. I do think they care about you. You said they've said these things about every boyfriend you've had. It's possible that you have a pattern of finding abusive men. Many women tend to seek out the same type of man each time, so perhaps you should talk to a therapist to try to find out what you want in a man, vs. what you're finding.
