Dear Madame Eagle,

I’m having relationship problems with my boyfriend and I need advice. For what has seemed like months now, he has never left me alone. I can’t do anything by myself without his constant text, “what are you doing now?” or “are you ok?” I can’t even go anywhere with my friends without him being worried about all the wrong things. Not only that, but he makes me feel guilty for leaving him alone. It’s like he gets jealous of everything if he’s not there with me. What can I do to help him and save our relationship?

               Sincerely,

                   Help Me!

Dear Help Me!,

I hear what you’re saying and I hope I can help you with your problems. To me, it sounds like you have a jealous boyfriend, just like you said. Here are some key things to consider talking to him about. First, he needs to recognize what he is really jealous of. If its other boys, tell him that he has nothing to worry about and that you are all his, no one else’s. Someone who is jealous probably means they have a low self esteem. Confident people aren’t jealous because they know they have nothing to be jealous of. When talking to your boyfriend, help him boost up his confidence a little everyday. Just by doing this, his jealousy will decrease over time. If your boyfriend is jealous, it could really hurt the relationship only worse. If you act different around your boyfriend, just to satisfy his needs, there is a big problem there. You need to confront him about his problems as soon as possible. Besides, why would you want to ruin a great relationship? All you have to do is fix the problem and move on. I hope I have helped you with your problem. Consider my advice.

                       Sincerely,
