What should i do?

my bf and i, we've know each other for about 7 yrs now and been dating for 4 years. he has a trust issue because he was once hurt by a girl in the past. he seems overly protectly and wants to be everywhere I'm at. I'll be graduating from college in 4 weeks and planned a backpacking trip through southeast asia with my girlfriends. My bf is two yrs older, done with college and has a good job and can't just take 8 weeks off to go on the trip with me. So, he does not want me to go on this trip and says that if i do then he won't forgive me and will probably break up with me. Does he not sound like a selfish di.ck? it's been killing me and i don't know what to do.

I do not think that this is something we should be deciding for you. Do what you want to do, not what he tells you to.

Go on the trip. Which would you regret more, backpacking through asia, which is awesome by the way, or sitting around with an insecure baby boy?
leave him and go on the trip, he's just being selfish, start with someone new when you get back
i guess he is selfish, but he was hurt once. i say go to asia, you deserve the trip. but i dont know what else you should do, i mean yall known each other for a while now and he doesnt need a reason to not trust you.
Sounds selfish to me.
Go for the trip...life is TOO short not to travel, grow, experience and learn.
If he wants some shoebox girlfriend just to take out and play when HE wants to, fine.
But it sounds like YOU aren't that kinda girl.
Go.
Seek.
Explore.
Grow!
He wants to control you. Dating for 4 years and he has not married you? Dump him and go to Asia.
go with your gal pals.........
obviously he has issues, not with you but with himself....
your young, you have given him no reason NOT to trust you.....so,
dump the selfish ba**ard and move on.
Your young, your vibrant, you have a future ahead of you, dont let him hold you back
because thats all he is going to do.
If you stay with him, holy crap, he is going to dictate your whole life. DO you really wanna live that way.......someone telling you what you can and cant do.
THAT is not a relationship
