A female reader, SusieQ1970 United Kingdom +, writes (5 April 2007):

Sounds like she one set of rules for you and a different set for herself. Have you tried talking to her about this? My belief is that to have a successful and fulfilling relationship you should both set yourself some ground rules and both agree to apply them to your relationship. Having your own views and opinions is equally important so long as your partner accepts you for the person who are and isn't trying to change you.

You must both accept that each had a past, you both had love in your life before your current relationship. She sounds as if she is a little insecure in the relationship and perhaps you could talk to her about this, ask her what you might be able to do to help her feel more secure.

Wish you luck.

Dagwood agony auntHi mate. Sorry to say this but it sounds like she's self centred, insecure and suffering from low self esteem. Her treating you like this is obviously not going to make you happy so you should have a good chat to her about it. Tell her what your expectations (in the relationship) are and ask her what she's after in the long term. Good relationships are based on common expectations, trust, respect and intimacy. When all of these conditions combine and make you both happy they lead to a long lasting love. If you're not on the same wavelength from the start and she refuses to see it both ways AND you're feeling like a fool then I'd say you should break up. It will be hard but of course it all depends on what you're looking for, only you can decide if you want to put up with it! Hope this helps. Take care.
