Red591 agony auntyuk. needy guys are not attractive at all. I always end it when this happens immediately as letting it drag on just worsens it. DON'T cheat. break up. cheating is the most disrespectful thing you can do to someone and it build bad karma for you for later. break it off and then date

Blod agony auntIt doesn't sound like you can carry on as you are. He sounds insecure and being with someone like this is difficult. I'd suggest you try talking to him first, but if it's just not getting through then it's probably best to end it. There's no point being in a relationship where you can't be happy. As for this other guy, make sure you're free and single if you're going to start dating him. Good luck.

Boonridge McPhalify agony auntmaybe he knows about this new man on the horizon. anyway if he shouts at you because you are not at his beck and call that is childish and i personally would find it hard to tolerate. if someone shouted at me beacuse i was busy doing other things i wouldn't bother calling them back at all.

do you think he will change or will it just get worse?

YouWish agony auntFirst of all, do not date the new guy until you've broken up with the other one. You'll have to face your boyfriend and break up with him. Be gentle and tell him that it's not working out between you two. So what if he yells at you. Don't "try" to break up. Break up. Tell him that it's over and do not waver. You don't have to make excuses or tell him that you'll just "be friends".

Bottom line - if it's not working out, then end it. Sounds like you've already tried to, so this time, finish it. Be gentle, but firm. Leave NO ambiguity or hope for him that you'll get back together or that this is temporary.
