First of all, I have been single for a very long time. It almost felt like I had a sign on my head that said: “Men stay the f**k away from me”. Some people might not want to admit it, but it gets really lonely when you don’t have a man. Some of my friends are happily married and every time I get to babysit for them, I just want their kind of life. Just starting my own family has always been a dream for me.
So, when I finally met my current boyfriend, I’m not even gonna lie, I didn’t delay anything. It’s not like I didn’t first make sure he wasn’t no psycho or player, but I didn’t pretend like I didn’t want him too. He’s a good guy; got his own business, his own apartment, and no baby mama. It wasn’t long after we started dating that I introduced him to my friends. My friends were happy for me and no one seemed to have anything against our relationship. He didn’t waste no time either to start talking about marriage with me. He wanted to start a family with me and I love it. Some people might think he is more of a traditional man; meaning he loves when a woman is submissive, and I didn’t mind submitting to him until now.
He asked me to delete my social media accounts and change my number. His reason is that I have too many men who keep writing me and I spend too much time either on the gram or talking to my girls. I’m really not gonna lie, I do spend a lot of time on the phone, but I can always reduce that. Whenever we are together, I try not to check my phone except I got a call or urgent text. He isn’t so active on social media and doesn’t have as many friends chatting him up every day like me. I love him, but I want to be sure I’m not being a fool if I do change my number and delete my social media accounts? I would love to still keep my social media accounts and I have promised to reduce my time on there, but he insists I delete. Do y’all think he is being a control freak? Or should I just delete? My friends think I shouldn’t and if he keeps insisting, throw the whole man away. But they have their relationships and they get to be happy while I go home to no one. So, I’m asking y’all.
