Home More advice Love & Relationships

I have had relationships in the past were I was actually pretty content to live in a bubble with that person, not really bothering with friends (perhaps because it was awkward with my partners not liking them or something). I really need my independence now, but I have a man in my life who is very jealous and just can't cope with the fact I don't have much time for him. This is because I work freelance and I have many interests, including being alone sometimes just so I can recharge. He could accommodate this fact by keeping in touch by e-mail or phone when I am busy, but he just kicks off. We only really get on when it suits him. I guess I am a very independent person with a career, interests and male and female friends. Do I need to reconcile myself to the fact that he will never change and he just isn't right for me as a lover? Or am I hard work for any man?
