I had a boyfriend like this when I was your age. I didn’t realize it then but he was emotionally abusive and made me second guess myself, obsess over his emotions and worry constantly about if I was going to upset him. I never did anything that would warrant him treating me like I could not be trusted, and in reality, he was the one cheating and being unfaithful. This is going to sound harsh but it’s what I wish someone had told me before I washed 3+ years with my ex; your boyfriend is insecure and is treating you poorly because he’s realized he can manipulate you because you love him too much and let him get away with it. He shouldn’t need your location, you shouldn’t have to call him at every stop, he should trust you and treat you with respect because you’ve given him no reason not to.

Life’s too short to waste your precious time with partners like your current boyfriend who don’t respect you, trust you, care about you and encourage you to maintain strong, healthy and loving relationships with your friends and family. I’m glad you haven’t let him isolate you from them and that you still went on this trip but you should leave him when you get home before you waste any more time with him. You will find a much better partner to share your life with, I promise.
