    So what is it that you seek help with? Not wanting to sound like a total grammar Nazi but it would help delivering your message if you used dots at the end of the sentence.

    That does make you sound like a grammar Nazi... :|

    As for the OP, you're going to need to have a talk with him. He sounds incredibly jealous and possessive. He also sounds insecure that you might cheat on him. This needs to be addressed because if you can't so much as talk to someone, you're going to feel suffocated dating this person. A relationship should make you better off.

    OK, wrote that in a hurry and now that I read it again it sounds a bit different what I originally meant with it. There are two separate issues that are unconnected that I wanted to address.So let me rephrase that.

    1) Is the problem that your BF gets jealous when you flirt with other guys or is he jealous also when you have just a normal conversation?

    2) Then, as a separate matter, it would make it easier to read your text if you insert dots at the end of the sentences. The text can be understood but at least I have to read it a couple of times before realizing which parts make up the separate sentences. Other than that your level of English is fine.

    Just tell him your concerns and how you feel about it all. :slight_smile: that's my suggestion anyway.

    OK, so then it's definitely a problem. You cannot control who flirts to you and if you don't respond to it I don't really see how it could be a problem to your BF.

    Talk to him and ask him why does he feels jealous. Usually it's about a self-confidence issue or trust issue from his part.

    What do you mean by clingy? Does he require undue attention from you when other guys talk to you (even if they don't flirt with you)?

    I don't think being clingy is the issue here, I believe he is feeling insecure. He doesn't want to lose you and therefore wants the attention directed to him and not other guys.

    My boyfriend and I are quite clingy, but I also want my own space and I've made it clear to him that I need it.

    Like Euler suggested, ask him why he feels this way when you talk to other guys. Are you flirting back with those guys that flirt with you? Or is it just a simple conversation?

    He is really not answering your question. If he really is so much better than the other guys he should not feel jealous - especially if you are just having a normal conversation with them.

    As someone who is clingy, and has dated others who are, the only thing you can do is try to reassure him. It's a personal issue, and you can't control his thoughts or emotions the same way he can. Compromise, but also stand your ground. If he's serious about you (and vice versa), you'll get through it together.
