megz x-x agony auntYour obviously more of a giver than a taker...in more than the sexual sense. I know your obviously very protective over him but you have to see that he has NO right to treat you this way.

I have no doubt that he loves and cares for you, but im not sure its in the way that you want him to. He knows that you will always be there not matter how vile he is to you. That has got to stop

There is no reason why you cant stay friends as long as he learns to respect you. There are two ways of going about this;

1) Direct him to his face sit him down and tell him you love him...but you are NOT a doormat. He must start treating you with some respect toher one day you may not be there to comfort him.

or 2) Just leave him to cool for a while makes some new friends and he will soon subtly get the message that his bad behaviour is not rewarded with your attention

You seem like a loving kind sweet and genirous person, but please please dont get walked over. Ive had a best friend since yr 2 he was my first love and were still best friends...it can be done. But not when you the only one giving

juliagulia agony auntFor one thing, I think you should stop having sex with him (at least for now). It sounds like having sex has made things a lot more complicated and emotional for you and that he is taking it for granted. He is young and most likely just "showing off" with his hurtful comments and such. You need to decide what you want from the relationship and communicate that to him. If he isn't willing to change his behavior and treat you as a real girlfriend or even a friend, then you need to give it some time and space and stop spending time with him until things seem to blow over. You could work things out a few months from now when it seems less complicated. Then you will have some insight to see what really happened and what you want out of your friendship.
