Thank you Creamsickle for sharing your story. In my case, he has a couple of female friends he talks to on and off. One is an ex colleague who was into him and is now married. Other is his friend's wife. He has a lot of guy friends and hangs out with their wives and girlfriends. He says that all of his friends think I am not serious about him. Says that it isn't so much of me having male friends, but me not being able to make him feel special that bothers him so much. I am not the kind of person who gets jealous easily. At times he playfully tries to call some random girl hot to make me feel jealous and I instead join him in calling the girl hot too. He then says I am too boring. He does say that he hasn't had too many female friends and hasn't met anyone who is so bold and open minded like me. He doesn't rely on me for all the support as we haven't been meeting too often. Although he does say he really wants to see me going out, making friends, meeting people. He has a good job, is quite self sufficient and has friends. But he is living alone in a new place that is kind of far from crowd. And he works from home. So he tends to get really lonely all day.

Achy Turtle Armor, thank you for your honesty. May I ask if it ever got to physical violence? Were the fights very frequent? He seems to really want to end all the fights and is very interested in getting help and trying to make the relationship better. He says he can't imagine living life fighting like this either.
Btw, this Daughter song is probably one of my favorite songs in the world and that line is just killer. It was playing in my head when I read your signature.
