This boy has serious problems that will get worse. Jealousy is not a sign of love; it's a sign of insecurity. And the deeper the jealousy, the deeper the insecurity. What you're describing is NOT love. Whether he needs counselling is not the issue here. What's at issue is that he's controlling you and he wants to isolate you from your friends and support system. That's what abusers do, Katie. What you described is so typical of abusers. You must get out of this relationship, for good. Talk to your family about what is really going on so that they can help you and provide the support you need; that's what they're there for. Be honest with yourself and with your friends; your friends are another support system that can help keep you from being isolated and more at risk for violence. And you ARE at risk for more violence. This boy is NOT who you think he is. You and he together are NOT that perfect couple; you're in an abusive dating relationship that you must get away from. He will escalate the violence if you don't. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They have advocates available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week who can provide crisis intervention, escape planning, information and referrals to victims or anyone calling on their behalf.
