Exes are part of everyone's life. I was once with someone for years who had trouble with my male friends. He never changed but I continued to hold onto my male friends (hey they were part of my life before him). I found my guy too controlling and he was even jealous of time I spent with my family. Needless to say, my relationship did not work out. I don't like anyone trying to control my life. I had to break it off and it was a difficult thing for me to do. I wish I had never stayed with him as long as I did. I believe in having faith in someone but after giving it many years, the writing was on the wall. If he doesn't understand (or allow) you to keep your male friends then I would say to walk away now. My guy would "say" he was ok with my male friend but would not let me see him and then I started sneaking around to talk to him. The reigns kept getting tighter and tighter. He presented a front like "ok I can understand" but he really didn't. He never got my male friends. I think because he never had any female friends. He relied solely on me for everything. Didn't have a male friend he could talk to either. Just letting you know my story so you can make comparisons. If your guy relies totally on you for ALL support, All friendship and love....well you have to make your decision if you are willing to give up everything for them. It took me a long time and it may take you long as well but keep your wits about you for the signs.
