Is my boyfriend in the right ?

I'm sorry for asking here but I just needed other people's (women's) advice.
Basically me and my boyfriend have been together a month or so now, and everything is great.
He's perfect, caring, smart, great in bed (finally found a giver) and funny as hell. I do not have a problem what so ever, however yesterday, he came over to my house, he usually does on the weekend but this was different as I haven't seen him all week. It was going great untill I go upstairs without telling him, and I message my ex because he was feeling a bit blue. My boyfriend comes upstairs and in a sarcastic tone said "glad you're focusing on your ex". To me, it sounded rude so I threw my phone and kept staring at him saying "I can't have friends? Fine."
He said "that's not what I meant" but I didn't care and I stormed downstairs. We made up a few minutes later (as we always do), but to me it sounded like he was being an ass.
I know that I take him for granted as all he wants us to look after me and i'm truly a moody bitch, and I love him to bits as he's the only boyfriend that genuinely cares about me and not sex, I'm the one who always has to initiate it (he might be asexual ?), nonetheless I dont know if I should apologise to him and make it up to him.. I go mardy atleast once a day and he doesn't give up, he just laughs or smiles or calls me pretty and a few minutes later I'm not mardy anymore.
I should probably note that since his best friend kissed me, he's been a bit more strict on me seeing other guys. Like I was going to get a nipple piercing, accompanied by this guy I know my whole life and he was a bit jealous though he didn't tell me. Any tips on how not to be moody???

Jackanory, Hollyoaks needs a storyline, any ideas?

PhoenixJasmine · 25/06/2017 03:00

Is this the kind of storyline featured in Hollyoaks? Knew there was a reason I don't watch that shit Grin

Somehow get a feeling OP won't be back. Maybe they don't thrive on the drama as much as it appears. Or maybe Mum's switched the wifi off Grin

DukeOfBurgundy · 25/06/2017 09:09

Your boyfriend needs to find someone a bit less mardy.

NemosKnickers · 25/06/2017 09:14

Blimey, where to start with this one?!

Bluntness100 · 25/06/2017 09:15

Is this some sort of bad joke?

OnionKnight · 25/06/2017 09:17

He needs to LTB.

Ohyesiam · 25/06/2017 09:19

If this is even real, you need to Ditch the drama. No throwing your phone, no storming anywhere. Get some therapy to learn to moderate your temper and take some responsibility for yourself.

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 25/06/2017 09:20

You sound absolutely ridiculous and painfully immature. That being said, you obviously love a good bit of drama though so maybe this 'relationship' is perfect for you. Your boyfriend, on he other hand, is being a bit daft imo to stay with someone who is so incapable of acting like an adult. It almost sounds like you're making it up (!)

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 25/06/2017 09:20

Are you a teenager?

JustMumNowNotMe · 25/06/2017 09:21

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

AnyFucker · 25/06/2017 09:21

How very silly

Teabay · 25/06/2017 09:22

Are YOU for real? You sound more simple than the OP!

justkeeponsmiling · 25/06/2017 09:25

Umm what??

BastardGoDarkly · 25/06/2017 09:26

Dear ops bf.... Run, run and don't look back.

pieceofpurplesky · 25/06/2017 09:29

GCSEs have finished I guess ...

MummaThree · 25/06/2017 09:29

How old are you OP?
You've been together for a month and you say you love him? You barely know him enough to 'love' him.

Also if you did 'love' him then the last thing you'd be doing would be sneaking off to text your ex! Any man would react the same way! I'd never ever have done that to my DP!!

Ex's don't come into the equation at all unless there are kids involved where you have to maintain contact!!

If you want to be with your boyfriend that you 'love' then get rid of the ex and focus on your current relationship, if not then let your boyfriend find a girl who deserves him

Teabay -are YOU real? Hmm

bloodymaria · 25/06/2017 09:29

Is this a reverse? It reads very strangely. Anyway, either way OP you sound like you annoy the drama so crack on.

AdalindSchade · 25/06/2017 09:32

You are 16. You really shouldn't be on mumsnet.

On the offchance that you are older than that - grow up!

PinkFluffs1 · 25/06/2017 09:36

Why are you texting your ex upstairs away from him without saying a thing - then throwing a tantrum?

Sounds like you're hiding something and he has every reason to be suspicious. It's a new relationship, if you're wasting his time he has the right to know.

If the roles were reversed and I was in his shoes I would have walked right out the door until I knew exactly what sort of relationship was going on between the two.

Just curious, how long have you and the ex been split up for?

This new guy sounds like your rebound and you're sure as hell making him feel it with those sort of actions.

My rules are: it's fine to talk to ex partners just don't hide it or lie about it. If I ask, I expect an honest answer (not some dramatic whining statement and a flounce out the door) and if you're continuing to talk to ex partners, I want to eventually speak to them and introduce myself too. Being friends with an ex is fine. Don't hide it. Give your partner a chance to make his presence known as your new boyfriend and also to feel comfortable.

Huh?

Perhaps you should stop dating people until you are old enough. Just a thought.

Is it the school holidays already?

FFS - what are you doing for your 14th birthday?

Crumbs1 · 25/06/2017 09:53

Are you 11 and a bit simple minded? Sounds like an episode of a low budget soap.
