Boyfriend is way too attached!! How to make him stop obsessing?

[Hannah86]

I've been with him for over a year and a half but this weekend is the last straw.

 

My boyfriend is the type that will text every 30-45 minutes when he is away, like he did this weekend. He was out of town for a wedding and I ended up staying home last minute.

 

It took us a looooong time for him to stop being jealous of my past. He still acts jumpy when any of my ex's names are mentioned by a friend or acquaintance, but when it happens to his I do. Not. Care.

 

I've tried faking emotion to equal his, so he isn't so damn insecure.

 

He just attempted to come home a night early and I already have plans. I told him to stay and he flipped out! He has friends in town from out of the country for the wedding and I know he would regret missing time with them, plus, I already have plans!! He is so attached.

 

I have sex with him when I don't want to sometimes, just so he will up his testosterone and chill out. I've tried talking to him about it and he says I am not affectionate enough--if he would chill out and let him come to me I'd be more loving, and I've told him this!!

 

We were supposed to work together on a project, collecting phone numbers from stores for a sales thing. The plan was him to go to stores while I went, and then it'd be done twice as fast. Instead, he followed me and even got in my way a few times, which drove me up the wall. He then congatulated himself on accompanying me so I wouldn't have to do it by myself. In actuality, I wish he hadnt been there because his being there made my job twice as long, instead of twice as fast!

 

There are so many reasons I want us to work out but how do
