Terra's Past Letters

Abusive relationships:
"Me and my boyfriend are perfect for each other but..."

Hey Terra,

Me and my boyfriend are perfect for each other but he's pretty jealous. I can't even hang out with other boys or hug them or anything because he gets mad at me. How can I tell him that I love him but also that I can hang around other people?

Prisoner of Love

Dear Prisoner of Love,

I'll be straight with you, a boyfriend who is "pretty jealous" and "gets mad" when you "hang out with other boys" is not "perfect."

You may not want to hear this (but you obviously must feel like there's a problem otherwise you wouldn't have emailed me): This guy is trying to control you and that is a warning sign of a bad boyfriend, not a perfect one.

Check this information on abusive relationships and see what you think.

Think about it.

In friendship,

Terra
