Does he really accuse you of cheating, or are you using creative license? Because no amount of flowers, surprise or not, is worth being with someone controlling and suspicious.

Yes! I was serious when I wrote that. We talk on the phone all day when we are not together since he lives in Baltimore. I am a nanny and don't text/call him until the kids are napping. When he's at work, he's texting me every 5 mins to see if I am bored.

You bought a diamond ring on a nanny's pay?

Yes.

It seemed like maybe you came here to get relationship advice. Mine would be to end it and find someone less insecure but since you just got him that ring it makes me think maybe you don't want this to end and certainly it sends a strange message if you do want it to be over soon? This won't get better. Sounds like it will drag on and be very upsetting for both when it ends but it's not healthy.

She enjoys the drama and the attention.

We are a bit back and forth due to his clingy ness, but we are always happy when we actually get to spend time together. I bought him the ring because I knew he would like it, not because what a ring symbolizes.. If he wanted an iPad, I would have gotten it, but he doesn't, he liked this ring we saw.

OP - Move this thread to one of the Nanny Forums. The nannies could use a good laugh.

OP, did BF grow up in an abusive or unhealthy home situation?

This gives nannies a bad name.

Don't worry, in about an hour she'll have a picture of them up on Facebook with the caption, "I love my boyfriend! He's the sweetest! "

Do you think he liked it though because it could look like a wedding band on him?
Just wondering.

you forgot to include an 'lol' at the end of your reply above OP.

This is a joke right? I don't ever remember being this naive and attention seeking at 22 and I'm 27 now.

OP, dump the bf and be alone for awhile, you need to grow up a tad.
