My boyfriend and I have been going out for about 6 or 7 months now and since around the 4th month we started getting into arguements and they just won't stop. Just yesterday we had another fight. Mostly he's jealous of my guy friends but he just don't get it their my friends I need my friend's who doesn't? I really want to know how I can make him have a bit of more trust in me. And possibly how to make him stop getting jealous all the time???

While having friends of the opposite sex can be strictly platonic... there is a male talk show host in my area that tells women - if a guy says he's just a friend, he's lying (of course there are exceptions to every rule).... have you read Dr Laura's book, 10 things couples do to mess up their relationship? Read it.

Then also think about this, his insecurity is his and it's something he must deal with. There isn't much you can do to help him, it has to come from within him. If you are having this much trouble at the 6-7 month mark, maybe you should just be friends with him too.

Take it from me that is how my man was, and I let him. I lost all my friends. Don't invest anymore time with him. Your friends will always be there for you. I ended up marring my man (big mistake) first it was my friends, they're gone. Now that we are marrried he's pushing me away from my family, and I feel I can't do anything about it because I didn't do anything the first time. So please, don't wait until it's to late, and your friends are gone and you feel like you have noone else. That's why I stayed with my man, and look where it got me. Get while the gettins good!!!!
