Dump her, NOW!! Avoid the drama! Find someone who treats you better.

I call her out on things. Any suggestions for making realize her lack of fairness?
Tell her off, she what her reaction is. My take is she will try and turn the tables on you and blame you for her shortcomings. LIke I said in previous post, RUN FOR THA HILLS!!!

Easy - make a list of pros. Now make a list of cons. The cons will easily outweigh the pros.
It works, I've been there, the chick will never change - behavior is ingrained.

I'm not going to go through all the pages of comments but just based on ^^^this...you have a train wreck of a relationship going. Do yourselves a favor and end it and go your separate ways. If after 2 years there's all this on and off and arguements, I see no healthy relationship in the future. It seems either both of you like the drama. If she can't trust you, why does she get back with you? If you have doubts about her being faithful then why do you get back with her?

I think someone needs to grow up and mature a bit...

When I have a relationship with someone, it is NOT like a high school student to teacher type thing - where one will say you can't do this or that or must ask permission to do something.

Rather it is like a high school teacher to high school teacher relationship. We are both adults. We don't "tell" each other what to do. Rather make suggestions or recommendations. Then it is up to the other person to follow that advice or not. It is their "adult" choice.

So I never "tell" someone they can't have so and so for a friend or talk to that person. Rather I might "suggest" that they would be best to stay away from the person (their choice). And I would only say that if the person could potentially cause harm to my friend...

Maybe the person drives recklessly. I would say to my friend that they might live longer if they do not ride in that person's car. (Then their choice.)

Or maybe someone gets in trouble with the law frequently. I might say to my friend that they might be wise to stay away from that person. (Again their choice.)

And if they do not follow my advice, no biggie. I don't get upset about it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink!

You dump her. Find a girl that treats you like you treat her, w/ mutual respect and hopefully you'll find a real love. No one should control you, or you her. But, she certainly shouldn't tell you not to do something she is doing. Move on, no contact....do not let he keep controlling you after you are done. that's my advice.

So, i am this dude's girlfriend that you guys are saying to drop and lose but let me also get my side of the story out that he forgot to mention. Yes, we started dating 2 years ago and from the get go when i started talking to him, i made it pretty clear about my child's father cheating on me numerous times, including while i was pregnant, and how that devastated me and shot my self esteem pretty low. Sure one might say why didnt you leave him, well, i wasnt told about these girls until he left me after giving birth. Anyway, told samcnurse this to begin with. Promised he wouldnt do anything like that me. Everything was fine, but then he met an old aquaintance of mine that started working with him. They got close, and rather than coming to me about problems, issues, etc., he went to her. Ok, whatever. Said something to him about it, it got better. Then i moved 3 hours away to finish my schooling, he went out to bars with this girl, hung out at her house and vice versa, and then went on vacation with this girl to washington, dc for like a week. I see a huge problem with that if he is in a relationship with someone. Ok, so he is then visiting me one night and gets a text from an "old friend" about wearing a sweatshirt and wondering whose it could be, which is susipicious all ready in itself. I have asked him not to talk to these 2 girls, because of what has happened and because i am uncomfortable with it unless i am around, i would like to be able to rebuild my trust. He has slept with people that he forgot to mention, 4 women in fact. So, i would say i am not as crazy as you think and listen to both sides before judging.

She sounds like a high maintenance, immature and controlling nightmare. Move on.

I would move on, as my father always said leopards don't change their spots.

Yes this and that goes for both of you.

To the boyfriend: You need a woman who will be okay with how you are (whatever way that may be). Probably someone who is just like you.

To the girlfriend: You need a guy with less female friends and you need to get rid of yours too if you want that in a guy.

People don't change when it comes to these things and you seem quite incompatible.
