My boyfriend is hurting my self esteem

Question - (7 April 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 7 April 2009)
A female United States age , *issbetty50 writes:

Is it normal that my boyfriend, who is 57(I am 50)takes pictures of other women's cleavage, their butts and them in short shorts, or in a short skirt, but will not allow me to wear a low cut shirt to show off my cleavage?

He tells me all the time that I am very beautiful, sexy,and does not want me to change because he likes me the way that I am.

Its making me have low self-esteem about myself and he is not respecting me or our relationship.

A female reader, DrPsych United Kingdom +, writes (7 April 2009):

DrPsych agony auntI think at 50 you are probably mature enough to figure out the answer to your own question. It sounds like this man is quite controlling but as an independent woman you should dress the way you feel happy, not him. If it bothers you that he takes photos of other women (it would bother me!!!) then talk to him and state your case. He is disrespecting you because you are allowing him to - sorry to be harsh. The solution is to explain what you want and expect from this relationship rather than be victimised by this man into losing self-esteem. If he refuses to change then it maybe time to look for love elsewhere?
